Call for Outstanding Cases of Technology-Enabled COVID-19 Prevention and Control

Seventeen years ago, SARS swept across China, and the Chinese people repelled it with perseverance and wisdom. Today, the raging COVID-19 pandemic has once again plunged China into a difficult situation. However, compared to seventeen years ago, China now possesses greater national strength to combat the virus. Empowered by the forces of the internet, artificial intelligence, and big data, we are also equipped with more scientific, intelligent, and efficient means and capabilities for epidemic prevention and control.

In the collective battle against the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic, numerous medical technology companies have been striving to assist the nation, healthcare institutions, and patients by seeking and exploring solutions to the outbreak. The application of multiple new technologies—including medical robots, 5G networks, internet-based healthcare, and genetic testing—has demonstrated the speed and strength of China’s tech enterprises. It also highlights the significant changes brought about by advances in information technology and biotechnology after more than a decade of development.

To highlight the tangible outcomes achieved by China’s emerging technologies in epidemic prevention and control, strengthen the promotion of applied achievements, accelerate the widespread adoption of these technologies, and contribute to an early victory in the fight against COVID-19,VCBeat and VCBeat Institute have specially launched the “Call for Outstanding Cases of Technology-Enabled Epidemic Prevention and Control in 2020,” aiming to collect achievements, cases, and leads on the application of outstanding technologies in epidemic prevention and control across China. Leveraging their resources, they seek to disseminate these exemplary solutions to the industry and reach communities in need.
