A few days ago, the internationally renowned medical research journal Nature Medicine published this research result online in an article titled "Using Artificial Intelligence to Evaluate and Accurately Diagnose Pediatric Diseases". Some experts believe that this marks the arrival of the era of disease diagnosis by artificial intelligence systems simulating human doctors.
"Gold ophthalmology, silver surgery, sloppy obstetrics and gynecology, do not do pediatrics", this popular in the circle of doctors for many years of jokes is a vivid portrayal of the shortage of pediatricians. Many young parents have experienced the anxiety of having to wait in a long line at a children's hospital with their children. Pediatricians have a heavy workload, and most of the common diseases, if a large number of "robot pediatrician" on the line, will greatly alleviate the long-standing shortage of pediatricians. Moreover, can "read and understand" medical records, will recommend the diagnosis of the "robot pediatrician" is not to pick the living area, regardless of the size of the hospital, for the equalization of health care resources is also a great help. This research is of great significance if it is put into use in a large number of cases.
In recent years, artificial intelligence, Internet +, big data and other large-scale use in the medical industry, is bringing disruptive changes to the medical industry. Robots that can do orthopedic surgery, visual diagnostic instruments that can screen diseases by taking only ten eye-image photos, bioprosthetic patches that can be printed in 3D, cross-regional, multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary, multi-expert teleconsultation platforms ...... More and more new technologies are intervening in the healthcare industry, leading to the new development of medical technology, which is bound to reconfigure the existing The new technology will lead to a new development in medical technology and will certainly reconfigure the existing medical pattern.
Guangzhou is the medical center of South China, rich in medical resources. On the "China Hospital Competitiveness - Top 100 Top Hospitals List" released last year, Guangzhou*** has 11 hospitals on the list. Numerous top hospitals have contributed to Guangzhou's superior medical competitiveness. If the traditional medical center depends on having more big hospitals and good doctors, in the future, it will be more reflected in the competition of medical technology strength. Guangzhou to build a strong city of health, to create a health care highland, must be in the technology + medical innovation in the continued strength.
In recent years, Guangzhou has been carrying out a number of key projects in the fields of biomedicine, high-end medical equipment, stem cells and regenerative medicine, precision medicine, and genetic testing. In June 2018, nine projects, including the medical big data center project, were signed in Guangzhou. It is conceivable that technology + medical will greatly enhance the strength of medical research in Guangzhou, and become a powerful boost for the construction of Guangzhou's future medical highland.
