It marks a new height in the application of artificial intelligence in the medical field of 5G technology in China.
“ 5G applications in the medical field are far more than remote surgery, its ultra-high speed, ultra-low latency, the characteristics of the super-large chain track, accelerate the big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other new generation of information technology innovation breakthrough and integrated applications, open a new era of medical development. At the Summit Forum, Wang Xinzhe, chief economist of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that the application of 5G can realize the accurate transmission of medical data, rapid synchronization and mutual access to
medical data, and create a new model of health services for real-time remote consultation, remote first aid and tele-visual training.
With the integration of 5G with new technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence, robots, wearables, medical devices, etc. for medical and health services will become more and more popular, home medical rehabilitation will become possible in the future, and the medical industry can also provide more personalized medical advice and health management services.
In addition, 5G-enabled big data analytics, artificial intelligence, etc. will continue to drive innovative applications in the healthcare industry, providing more convenient and intelligent services in the areas of medical imaging and inspection, medical devices and consumables, pharmaceutical research and development and production, medical treatment and rehabilitation.
Improving the effectiveness of comprehensive supervision of " 5G technology can not only be used in clinical scenarios, but also play a great role in improving the effectiveness of comprehensive supervision of health care. Fu Wei, director of the National Health and Wellness Commission's Medical and Health Science and Technology Development Research Center, believes that 5G technology has much to offer in promoting the linkage between the three doctors and building a systematic, intelligent and refined comprehensive medical and health supervision system.
“ Cloud computing technology integrates regulatory data from the health sector and related departments such as public security, civil affairs, and market supervision to help connect multiple information systems. Fu Wei said that centralized and neutral government systems can effectively break down institutional barriers and strengthen inter-departmental data and business synergy, big data technology and artificial intelligence technology can better predict event trends and problem risks, provide decision-making basis for scientific supervision, integrity big data, medical insurance intelligent audit and monitoring information systems will play a greater role, electronic tags and other Internet of Things technologies will help form a complete information chain of full traceability, mobile law enforcement, electronic archives and other technologies will greatly enhance the effectiveness of comprehensive supervision and enforcement.
At the national level, there has been a strategic deployment to improve the construction of comprehensive medical and health supervision system by means of information technology. In August 2018, the General Office of the State Council issued the Guidance on Reforming and Perfecting the Comprehensive Supervision System for the Medical and Health Industry, which calls for the establishment and improvement of the credit mechanism for the medical and health industry, the improvement of the information disclosure mechanism, the establishment of a risk early warning and evaluation mechanism, the formation of a grid management mechanism, and the establishment of a mechanism for the coordinated use of comprehensive regulatory results.
Under the policy advocacy, the national and local organizations have actively explored the application of information technology in comprehensive supervision. Such as the National Health Supervision Information System developed after-the-fact supervision double random spot check system, staff can grasp the overall task progress and case implementation in real time, Jiangsu, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi, Shandong, Tibet and other places are also accelerating the process of health supervision and law enforcement information.
Fu Wei believes that modern information technology, including cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things, mobile law enforcement, will give more possibilities for comprehensive health care regulation, and its development is worth looking forward to.
Improving the efficiency of medical treatment
technological changes brought about by 5G will have a profound impact on the entire healthcare industry. With the commercial use of 5G, medical scenarios such as remote surgery, remote monitoring, and tele-treatment are likely to be realized in the future. It is precisely because of this prospect, the summit attracted a large number of medical device business representatives to the scene, to think about the 5G era of the new face of the medical field.
Wu Shaojie, CEO of Dongsoi Medical, said that Dongsoi Medical has applied 5G technology to in-vehicle CT and can send images back to its headquarters at any time. In the future, in the mobile CT rescue scene, the signal can be transmitted back to the hospital in real time, convenient for experts to carry out treatment, improve the efficiency and effectiveness of treatment. In addition, current medical equipment stores all scanned data in hospitals, and in the future, in distributed medical equipment, data will be uploaded to the cloud after processing. In real-world care, doctors push new data to the cloud to get results that improve medical efficiency and reduce medical costs.
“ 5G will enable two technologies to develop in greater depth, one of which is cloud computing. "Ge Healthcare's chief innovation officer, Dai Ying, believes that the essence of cloud computing is connectivity, computing, storage, and connectivity is the foundation of cloud computing. 5G will bring a leap forward in connectivity, 5G landing, cloud computing will be a large area of coverage. Another technology is big data analytics and artificial intelligence. At present, AI's biggest constraint is the availability of data and data calculation, the application of 5G technology can be integrated data, easy machine learning, thereby promoting the long-term development of medical AI. "These two technologies will be a powerful driver of health care reform in our country." Mr Dai said.
As 5G is just beginning to be commercially available and has not yet been developed, it still faces many practical problems. Zhao Jie, director of the National Engineering Laboratory for Internet Medical Systems and Applications, believes that these problems include network stability, 5G modules, etc., but the establishment of a 5G medical network is still the future direction. After the establishment of 5G medical network, will significantly improve the safety and errativeness of 5G medical, intelligent medical will enter people's daily life. (China Medical Daily)
