In August 2022, Kaintai received welcome news: it was included in the “Nanjing Cultivated Unicorn Enterprises” list, thanks to its leading digital technologies and extensive experience in the healthcare industry. This recognition once again affirmed the company’s rapid growth, innovation capabilities, and technical expertise within the sector.
Kaintai is a medical digitalization company. Since its establishment in 2012, it has been committed to enhancing the comprehensive capabilities of healthcare institutions in “clinical care, patient services, research, management, and support.” By developing digital solutions tailored to the needs of China’s healthcare and wellness industry, Kaintai facilitates the systematic construction of digital medical service platforms, helping healthcare institutions improve their digital management and clinical care standards while reducing healthcare costs.
In 2021, building on its foundations in information integration and data governance, Kaintai expanded into the internet healthcare sector to explore “digital medical services.” Recently, VCBeat interviewed Chen Xiaomeng, Product Director at Kaintai, to discuss the underlying logic behind the company’s product strategy in healthcare informatics.
Since the national policy declared in 2015 that “data has become a foundational strategic resource for the country,” the medical big data industry has progressed through early-stage phases—including data generation, collection, storage, and processing—and has now entered the industrial stage characterized by data analytics and application.
However, due to the complex and non-standardized information systems within hospitals, as well as concerns regarding data security and privacy protection, numerous information silos have formed internally. Issues such as incomplete data and low standardization of clinical data have severely impacted work efficiency across clinical departments, hospital management, and other areas. “To address these problems, it is necessary to thoroughly untangle these intricate and intertwined information sources, integrate them into a unified platform, and implement centralized management to facilitate on-demand access,” stated Chen Xiaomeng.
Chen Xiaomeng believes that the governance of medical big data should not be limited to standardizing “messy, disordered, and poor-quality” medical data; it should also involve in-depth “secondary processing” of medical data based on application objectives. This approach aims to achieve data interoperability, lay a solid data foundation for the construction of smart hospitals, establish management mechanisms based on databases covering the entire hospital business process, and provide complete, accurate, and consistent analytical data along with decision-making management models.
To this end,Kaintai Launches “Medical Data Brain”—A Comprehensive Clinical Data Center to Provide Objective, Actionable Data Sharing, Process Interoperability, and Data Utilization for Hospital Clinical Care, Management, and Research, Driving Digital Transformation in Clinical Services, Refined Management, Efficient Research, and Patient Management.
In Smart Clinical Care, Kaientai’s full-scale clinical data center enhances clinical efficiency and makes data truly “usable” through features such as timeline views, 360-degree specialty patient profiles, comparative imaging review, laboratory test trend analysis, configurable browsing interface modules, and embeddable third-party applications and files.
Hospital administrators and clinicians can perform comprehensive statistical analysis and application based on historical data, enabling data-driven applications such as panoramic “medical record browser”-based operational monitoring, clinical decision support, clinical data search, external information sharing, and panoramic quality control, thereby laying the foundation for future big data applications.
In Smart Management, Faced with massive clinical medical datasets, Kaintai’s full-scale Clinical Data Center ensures transparent data governance across every interface, enabling simultaneous use by diverse roles—including clinicians, integration engineers, algorithm specialists, and big-data developers—thereby guaranteeing management efficiency.
When hospitals need to build multiple data application systems for business expansion, they can leverage the Kaientai Full-Scale Clinical Data Repository as a “unified data source.” This approach eliminates the need to redundantly construct underlying data centers; instead, data can be extracted and processed for specific issues, thereby minimizing disruption to operational systems and enhancing data processing efficiency and quality. Based on this data repository, Kaientai can facilitate the development and implementation of functionalities such as referral services, telemedicine, and patient management in public hospitals, thereby supporting their high-quality development.
In scientific research management,To address the challenges of data integration and governance in hospitals, Kaintech simplifies data collection processes and methods, unifies data quality, and extracts valuable insights from massive datasets by establishing standardized data governance workflows and assessment mechanisms. This enables patient-centric medical data acquisition, cleaning, storage, loading, and decision support, ensuring traceability of raw data sources, uniqueness of master data standards, and timely and efficient data application, thereby enhancing the efficiency of data development and governance.
Currently, Kaintech has built integrated platforms for over one hundred domestic clients, consolidated data centers, and established innovative medical big data systems. These systems enable information collection, information sharing, process interaction, and the secondary utilization of medical data based on hospital information platforms. Furthermore, Kaintech meets the requirements of the Hospital Interconnectivity Maturity Assessment and the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) System Functional Application Level Evaluation conducted by the National Health Commission of China. The company has assisted numerous clients in successfully passing assessments such as “Interconnectivity Level 4-A/5-B” and “EMR Level 5/6.”
To better support the high-quality development of hospitals, Kaintech has adhered to its corporate mission of “Warming Better Lives with Technology” since its inception. Committed to building a data integration and utilization platform tailored to the needs of Chinese doctors and patients, the company comprehensively supports the foundational IT infrastructure of medical institutions, establishes open and flexible data centers capable of hosting multi-scenario applications, and promotes the construction of a digital health ecosystem. These efforts aim to advance the high-quality development of public hospitals and better meet the people’s growing demands for healthcare services.
