Our correspondent has recently learned that the 2018 Tianfu Software Park Annual Summit and the 12th Sichuan Internet Conference, themed “A New Healthcare Ecosystem in the Digital Age,” will be held on November 17 at the Global Center in Chengdu. The event is hosted by Chengdu Tianfu Software Park, a key platform driving the innovative development of the new-generation information technology industry in Western China. This conference has long been the largest annual gathering for internet entrepreneurs in Western China, exerting significant and far-reaching influence.

In recent years, thanks to strong national policy support, the tight supply of medical resources, and continuous advancements in professional technology, the internet healthcare industry has become a highly sought-after hotspot. Through constant exploration and innovation, the “Internet + Healthcare” sector is transforming toward diversified health services, with deeper penetration across the industrial chain and mixed-operation business models. The emergence of medical cloud platforms and medical consortia has facilitated the establishment of medical data standards and driven explosive growth in medical AI products. However, opportunities coexist with challenges. While the internet healthcare industry is developing rapidly, it still faces pain points such as the scarcity of high-quality online medical resources, the difficulty of delivering core diagnostic and treatment functions remotely, and uncertainties regarding viable commercialization pathways. How the internet healthcare industry can achieve innovative development in 2019 is currently the most pressing concern for all stakeholders.

Therefore, Chengdu Tianfu Software Park has specially invited a distinguished group of industry leaders and experts, including Wu Ping, National Leader of Life Sciences and Healthcare at Deloitte China; Wang Xiaocen, Partner at CEC Health Fund; Wang Haitao, Dean of the School of Continuing Education at Peking Union Medical College; Zhao Lijun, Deputy Head of the Preparatory Team for China Mobile Chengdu Industrial Research Institute; Zhou Debiao, Greater China Operating Officer at IBM Watson Health; Wang Shirui, Founder and CEO of Medlinker and CEO of Penguin Almond; Wu Mingzhu, Director of the Tencent Miying Application Center; Ma Jianing, General Manager of GE Healthcare’s West China Region; Zhou Zhenyu, Director of Philips Imaging Institute; Xin Jianglong, Deputy General Manager of the Healthcare Business Unit at Inspur Group; Feng Yang, Deputy General Manager of Winning Internet Technology Co., Ltd.; and Zhang Junhua, Product Manager of the Imaging Information Technology Division at Siemens Healthineers. These authoritative experts and corporate executives delivered keynote addresses on key topics such as future industry trends, policy directions, investment logic, the commercial implementation of AI in healthcare, and the smart transformation of hospitals. They also participated in roundtable discussions themed “Breakthroughs and Reflections on Smart Healthcare” and “Open Dialogue on New Models for Elderly Care,” aiming to spark new ideas and service models at the intersection of internet technology and healthcare, thereby injecting fresh vitality into the future of the internet healthcare industry.

As one of China’s top three key industrial parks and the core hub for innovation and entrepreneurship in the western region, Chengdu Tianfu Software Park plays a vital “platform” and “connective” role. It links enterprises of all types and scales within the currently high-growth internet healthcare sector, builds shared platforms, aggregates core resources, seeks synergistic effects, and promotes better development for businesses in the region.
