The Forward Path of Sports-Medicine Fusion: From Knowledge Production to Disruptive Innovation

Sports-medicine fusion is a necessary way to the transition from “treatment-based” to “prevention-based, prevention-andtreatment combined” health promotion mode. The mission of sports-medicine fusion is to achieve proactive health and lower healthcare costs, and it has become a major powerhouse to drive the reforms in the field of medical care and wellness. Disruptive innovation in the domain of medical care and health is precisely targeted at making disease prevention and maintaining good health simpler and more affordable. Disruptive innovation is thus the future direction for sports-medicine fusion. It should not only promote the transformation of health promotion models, but also make health services and maintaining good health cheaper and easily accessible. This is not only the demand of sustained action of social determinants of global health issues, but also the demand for the development of sports-medicine fusion. From a deeper-level point of view, the promotion and fulfillment of disruptive innovation relies on the continuous knowledge production of sports-medicine fusion as its important cornerstone and internal powerhouse, and its overall framework includes the dual attributes of knowledge production and its social application. It contains the behavior of knowledge production—throughout the evolution process from technology integration to the formation of new independent knowledge systems and specific knowledge forms, and is more related to the evolution and transformation of knowledge production from academic attributes to social application attributes—the establishment process of policy, market, emotion and other aspects of social relations. Based on the conclusion above, we proposed the following road maps to disruptive innovation, including taking the initiative to build up knowledge forms, creating learning paradigms to promote continuous technological innovation, deepening interdisciplinary collaboration, and planning of industry future-oriented disruptive value network. We should highlight the importance of the localization of technological innovation practices and the interpretation of the unique value of fine traditional culture of the Chinese nation.
