In recent years, with the rapid development and popularization of big data, cloud computing, Internet of Things and artificial intelligence technologies, the use of Internet application platforms to improve the efficiency of the use of medical resources, improve treatment and service levels have become the development of new smart cities and the promotion of "healthy China" strategies Important technical means of construction. As China's Internet medical industry has entered a golden period, the smart medical industry as its key component has also entered a period of rapid development.

 

As a smart medical industry that has attracted much attention, what are the development trends in the future? Below, the author summarizes the four-point trend and summarizes it with everyone by sorting out related materials.

 

Artificial intelligence + big data to help medical development

 

With the arrival of the era of artificial intelligence, the development and application of medical big data will become a national strategy, and the integration and development of artificial intelligence technology in the medical industry and medical big data will also be the general trend.

 

In fact, in addition to traditional medical giants such as General Healthcare, Philips and Samsung, global giants such as Facebook are also investing in disease surveillance and prevention, diagnosis, robot-assisted surgery, and the use of existing medical EMR data to automate workflows and virtual care. .

 

In China, Internet companies headed by BAT have also deployed the medical industry in succession. Among them, Alibaba has created Alibaba Health and "medical cloud" services; the Internet medical ecological chain created by the cooperation of Tencent, Dingyuan and Zhongan Insurance has been established. It is now in its embryonic form; many large enterprises have integrated medical resources through mergers and acquisitions, and deployed the smart medical industry chain through artificial intelligence + big data.

 

"5G + medical" industry standards continue to improve

 

On July 21, 2019, China Information and Communication Research Institute, Internet Medical and Health Industry Alliance and other units jointly released "Smart Healthcare in the 5G Era (2019)", which officially opened the prelude to 5G smart medical applications. According to the current development scenario, in the future, smart medical scenarios such as remote consultation, remote ultrasound, remote surgery, intelligent guidance, intelligent hospital management, AI-assisted diagnosis, VR ward visits, etc. can all rely on the construction of 5G networks to get more extensive application.

 

However, although 5G smart healthcare is promising in the future, after all, it is a new thing, and the health care field is very concerned about the safety and accuracy of data. Therefore, 5G smart healthcare still faces many challenges and needs to be continuously improved. In fact, the formulation of the “Standards for the Construction of Hospital Networks Based on 5G Technology” in September last year was the further improvement of the country ’s industry development.

 

The demand for personalized and integrated health management services is high

 

At present, with the continuous improvement of living standards and the accelerating pace of life, people's concept of health is getting stronger and stronger, and their needs are becoming more and more clear. Special customers, such as chronic patients and people with high economic levels, have personalized health needs. They all hope to be able to customize their own health management solutions, and have their own dedicated health management consultants and personalized services.

 

Therefore, it can be predicted that the diverse needs of different customers will promote personalized and integrated health management services to become a major trend in the future development of the smart medical industry.

 

Accelerating the commercialization of mobile medical equipment

 

Mobile medicine (using sensors, mobile apps, social media and location tracking technology to obtain data related to health, disease diagnosis, prevention and treatment) can theoretically make it possible to monitor and intervene in acute and chronic diseases anytime, anywhere.

 

At present, with the emergence of a new generation of medical equipment, especially various types of medical equipment mainly based on the detection of exercise, heart rhythm, sleep and so on. This cutting-edge application is expected to be realized in the foreseeable future. For example, smart watches, by 2022, 20% -30% of emergency care institutions will deploy smart watch-based applications, thereby increasing the efficiency of clinicians by more than 50%.

 

  to sum up

 

From an overall perspective, the key competitive points facing the smart medical industry mainly lie in the technology and the integrity of the equipment solutions provided. In addition, due to the integration of multiple technologies in the smart medical industry, companies need to have strong research and development capabilities, but also need the cooperation of other industries (such as cloud computing, big data processing, Internet of Things and Internet, etc.) Improve the richness of its technology and services. Therefore, future cooperation and exchanges between high-tech companies and the medical industry will definitely become the norm. The complementarity of the two will also promote the accelerated development of their respective industries.
