Riding the Wave: Call for 2021 Digital Healthcare Excellence Partnership Case Submissions
In 2020, the pandemic acted as a “catalyst,” accelerating the digital transformation of the healthcare industry. Riding the wave of digitization, technologies such as big data, 5G, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), and blockchain have become more deeply integrated with medical services, presenting both severe challenges and emerging opportunities.
Currently, the Chinese government is increasing its support for digital healthcare. The implementation of policies such as the “Healthy China 2030” plan, “Internet + Healthcare,” medical big data management standards, and tiered assessments for electronic medical records, smart services, and smart management will lay a solid foundation for the digital healthcare ecosystem. Performance evaluations of public hospitals at tertiary, secondary, and primary levels, along with reforms such as the “Two-Invoice System” and the elimination of drug markups, have created an imperative need for intelligent upgrades in hospitals. A series of policies are promoting cost containment within medical insurance and establishing a diversified payment model that integrates basic medical insurance with commercial health insurance.
Driven by strong policy support, digital technology innovations such as the Internet, artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and 5G are empowering the digital upgrading of healthcare processes. Digital healthcare has been extensively applied across all stages of patient diagnosis and treatment, creating substantial opportunities for large-scale scenario-based applications. For instance, medical big data is widely utilized in clinical research, hospital operations management, medical quality control and regulation, and health insurance cost containment. Applications of VR/AR technologies in the healthcare sector include health wellness, medical training, medical intervention, and clinical diagnosis. Medical robots can perform tasks such as medication preparation, assistance in clinical surgeries, support for patient rehabilitation, and services for individuals with disabilities. The IoT is employed in telemedicine, intensive care, and long-term care, enabling the interconnectedness of medical devices on demand.
