At the exhibition, Anxiang Smart Healthcare’s booth attracted a steady stream of visitors. Numerous leaders and guests visited the booth to engage in in-depth discussions on informatization solutions covering smart healthcare, smart services, smart management, and interoperability. Business heads provided clear and accessible introductions to the development concepts and innovative operational models behind Anxiang’s latest products and solutions. The attendees highly affirmed Anxiang Smart Healthcare’s professionalism and dedication.

At the Innovative Products Exhibition Area, the intelligent medical waste transfer cart in the Medical Waste Solutions Zone stood out prominently, attracting numerous attendees to stop and engage with the interactive experience.

Debuting in a vibrant yellow hue, this hardware product is part of Anxiang Medical Institution’s medical waste management solution, which comprises three core offerings: an information management system, smart transfer carts, and smart IoT kits. As the upgraded third-generation model, this smart medical waste transfer cart features electric power assistance to significantly reduce the time and physical effort required by medical waste collection staff. Equipped with advanced functionalities such as intelligent facial recognition, automatic label peeling, and error alerts, it effectively enhances the overall level of medical waste management.

Since the launch of the Healthy China Initiative, primary healthcare has become the main battleground, with medical consortia and medical communities emerging as key drivers in deepening healthcare reform. Also unveiled at the event was Ping An Smart City’s Smart Medical Community/Consortium Solution, which closely complements Anxiang Smart Healthcare’s Smart Hospital Solution. In 2019, Anxiang Smart Healthcare received a strategic equity investment from Ping An Group, formally integrating into Ping An Technology’s ecosystem and becoming a “closely integrated” member under Ping An dedicated to providing comprehensive smart healthcare solutions. As enterprises within China Ping An’s smart healthcare ecosystem, both parties’ collaboration with Ping An Smart City at this exhibition signifies strengthened strategic synergy, jointly ushering in a new era of smart healthcare.

Seizing the opportunity presented by the conference, Anxiang Smart Healthcare also held a series of supporting events, including a dedicated satellite symposium on “Supporting Hospital Capacity Building through Informatization and Intelligence to Comprehensively Construct Next-Generation Smart Hospitals,” as well as the major launch of three key solutions.

Anxiang Smart Healthcare unveiled three smart healthcare solutions at the conference: the Senrui Smart Dialysis Solution, the Medical Waste Management Solution, and the Smart Hospital Information Platform. These solutions demonstrated professional applications of smart healthcare in three key scenarios: nephrology specialty systems, medical waste management, and smart hospital data integration.

TDMS+: The Smart Dialysis Solution by Senrui. Developed by Senrui Software, a joint venture established by Anxiang and Fresenius Medical Care, a global provider of renal care services, Senrui Software inherits Fresenius’s extensive expertise in nephrology while integrating Anxiang’s rich experience in healthcare informatics.

Zhuo Fuhui, Vice President of Anxiang Smart Healthcare and General Manager of Senrui, introduced that the new-generation smart dialysis management system, TDMS+, was developed based on the “Big-People-Things” framework. “Big” refers to big data, exemplified by the “one-click reporting” of quality process data to the quality control center, thereby helping to liberate productivity; “People” stands for artificial intelligence, which pushes functionalities to medical staff by integrating AI with standard operating procedure (SOP)-based business workflows; and “Things” denotes the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling seamless transmission of medical staff data through IoT devices.

Medical Waste Management Solution for Healthcare Institutions: This solution encompasses a full-process monitoring and regulatory platform, a full-process business informatization system, an industry-first full-process behavior traceability software system, and an internet suite. Additionally, the solution innovatively incorporates Ping An product liability insurance and public liability insurance to address logistical challenges in hospital waste management.

Zhang Min, General Manager of Anxiang’s Emerging Business Division, introduced that this integrated hardware-software solution enables end-to-end monitoring and traceability of medical waste disposal, making operational data and processes fully visible. It facilitates “pre-event early warning and post-event liability exemption,” ensuring that hospital investments in human and material resources are transparent, tangible, and manageable, thereby achieving ubiquitous operational standardization and regulatory oversight. Notably, the solution incorporates an insurance-based approach to help hospitals resolve issues of liability attribution after incidents occur.

Anxiang Smart Hospital Information Platform: As Anxiang’s flagship independently developed product, the Butian Integration Engine has become the most prominent highlight of the new version of this smart hospital information platform. The Butian Integration Engine is a core component of the hospital information platform, with its name derived from the Chinese myth “Nüwa Mends the Heavens.”This reflects the chaotic status quo in which systems from different vendors within hospitals operate in silos. As the information hub for healthcare IT systems, the Anxiang Butian Integration Engine plays a critical role in connecting disparate systems, breaking down information silos, and enabling interoperability of data and applications, thereby “bridging” the information gap.

Nie Qi from Anxiang Smart Healthcare stated that this information platform can play a significant role in four aspects: First, it breaks down information silos by connecting various internal and external hospital systems to facilitate interaction. Second, it supports continuous operational improvement and optimizes hospital management, thereby accelerating data integration and enhancing decision-making efficiency. Third, it elevates the level of scientific research, education, and clinical application as well as discipline construction, improves the work efficiency of clinical medical staff, and provides robust support for research data. Fourth, it assists hospitals in achieving compliance with interoperability standards and electronic medical record (EMR) grading evaluations.

Anxiang Smart Healthcare has always placed a high priority on corporate innovation, striving to fully leverage cutting-edge R&D and technological capabilities to develop customized solutions that meet market demands. In the future, Anxiang Smart Healthcare will continue to focus on harnessing medical big data and artificial intelligence to create more smart healthcare scenarios.

Anxiang (Ping An-Lenovo) Smart Healthcare, established in 2016, is a healthcare technology enterprise jointly invested and founded by Ping An Group and Lenovo Group, representing a rapidly rising force in the new generation of smart healthcare technologies. As a leading provider of comprehensive smart healthcare solutions in China, Anxiang leverages the strategic support of Ping An Group and Lenovo Group to reconstruct smart hospital systems through its advanced cloud computing development framework.
