Abstract：Objective:To investigate the impact of regional innovation on medical security and its spatial effects across 31 provinces in China,providing scientific evidence for synergizing the"Healthy China"strategy with regional coordinated development.Methods:Based on provincial panel data from 2007 to 2023,the medical insurance fund expenditure was employed as a proxy for medical security.Methodologies include Moran's I tests,dual-way fixed effects models,Spatial Durbin Models(SDM)with adjacency and inverse-distance matrices,and spatial mediation models were applied to comprehensively analyze the direct effects,spatial spillover effects,and mediating pathways of regional innovation on medical security.Results:During the observation period,medical security levels in all provinces showed a fluctuating upward trend with significant regional disparities,where eastern provinces outperformed central and western regions.Regional innovation exhibited significant positive direct effects and spatial spillover effects on medical security.Regional innovation can improve medical insurance coverage by promoting growth in medical financial expenditure and the conversion of medical patents.Conclusion:Policy recommendations include deepening the synergy between regional innovation and medical security,optimizing the allocation of medical fiscal resources,accelerating the transformation of technological innovations,and narrowing regional development gaps.
