H3C Unveils Industry-First 'Digital Hospital Cloud' at CHINC 2019, Accelerating Smart Healthcare Development

Recently, during the 2019 CHINC conference, HBC made a high-profile debut with its latest smart healthcare and general health solutions, officially launching the industry’s first “Digital Hospital Cloud” and kicking off the 2019 “HBC Cup” Cyber Security Attack and Defense Drill for Chinese Medical Institutions. Through the introduction and implementation of new products, new solutions, and security competitions, HBC is leading the integrated development trend of cloud, data, network, and security in China’s medical informatization, thereby accelerating the construction of smart hospitals and “Internet + Healthcare.”

In March this year, the National Health Commission released the “Graded Evaluation Standard System for Smart Hospital Services,” marking an accelerated phase in China’s smart healthcare development driven by evaluation-based construction, thereby further stimulating demand for medical cloud and big data solutions. At this year’s CHINC, HBC took the industry lead in launching its Digital Hospital Cloud, a converged medical cloud and big data solution. Through a comprehensive portfolio of offerings—including medical cloud services, hyper-converged cloud data centers, full-lifecycle management of medical imaging data, Internet-plus medical imaging cloud, hospital desktop cloud, hybrid cloud, and big data service platforms tailored for the healthcare industry—HBC aims to meet the evolving needs of healthcare cloudification. These solutions empower health authorities and medical institutions at all levels to fully unlock the substantial value of cloud computing and big data in driving innovation in healthcare services and management.

As the integration of cloud computing and big data continues to drive the in-depth development of smart healthcare, medical data security has become increasingly critical as a key factor affecting patient safety and the success of smart hospital initiatives. To enhance information security awareness and management capabilities among medical institutions, HBC, in partnership with the editorial office of "China Digital Medicine," has launched the "HBC Cup" China Medical Institution Network Security Attack and Defense Drill Competition for medical institutions across China. The competition adopts formats such as online CTF (Capture The Flag) challenges, comprehensive cyber ranges, and AWD (Attack With Defense) confrontations. It simulates real-world security attack and defense scenarios across various business systems in the healthcare industry, requiring participants to flexibly apply offensive and defensive techniques and tools. The aim is to effectively prevent and respond to common security threats faced by medical institution information systems, such as data tampering and ransomware intrusions. By promoting practice through competition, the event seeks to substantially strengthen the ability of IT personnel and teams in medical institutions to mitigate security risks.

At this year’s CHINC, HBC showcased its most comprehensive portfolio of smart healthcare products and solutions, including newly launched offerings such as the Healthcare Cloud and Digital Imaging Cloud within its Digital Hospital Cloud. To date, HBC has built 12 national-level health cloud platforms for entities such as the National Health Commission, over 20 provincial-level cloud platforms including the Henan Provincial Medical Health Cloud, and nearly 200 municipal, district, and county-level cloud platforms. Additionally, it has deployed private healthcare cloud platforms for numerous large and ultra-large renowned Grade-A tertiary hospitals, such as the new campus of Beijing Tiantan Hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University.

Meanwhile, HBC has also adopted an immersive scenario-based approach to construct a fully equipped “Smart Hospital” within its exhibition area. This showcase comprehensively highlights the cutting-edge advancements in healthcare informatization, ranging from smart campus operations driven by next-generation intelligent networking systems, to smart wards enabled by medical wireless IoT for mobile nursing care, intelligent infusion, and smart ward management, as well as the application and deployment of a medical cloud platform featuring both application-level and data-level active-active redundancy. Visitors can thus gain an “immersive” experience of the complete service journey in a smart hospital, covering admission, consultation, hospitalization, and discharge.

In addition, HBC’s solutions and practical achievements in the big health sector were also showcased in the exhibition area. Leveraging a hybrid cloud model, HBC’s National Population Health Information Platform rapidly integrates heterogeneous data through a medical integration platform to achieve seamless data interoperability. By harnessing big data and artificial intelligence technologies, the platform supports public health and disease control management, while its diverse online applications make healthcare services readily accessible. This initiative drives breakthrough development in medical consortia and medical communities, paving the way for the full arrival of China’s big health era.
