Presented by VCBeat · VBInsight, three reports for our readers
In September 2017, VCBeat released the “2017 Report on the Medical Big Data and Artificial Intelligence Industry,” which provided an in-depth exploration of the origins and evolution of medical AI. The report conducted a thorough analysis of the capabilities, application scenarios, and cost structures of medical artificial intelligence, offering a valuable reference for industry professionals and regulatory authorities and sparking widespread discussion.
One Year Later, at the Same Time, We Will Release Three Major Reports.
“2018 AI Healthcare Report: Crossing Over and Setting Off Again”, this report focuses on the research and development and application of medical artificial intelligence products, as well as their adoption by physicians. We will conduct comprehensive visits to leading AI healthcare companies and interview physicians involved in the development and use of AI products, presenting a holistic, industry-wide perspective on the current state of medical artificial intelligence development in China.
“2018 Report on Hospital Informatization Construction”By interviewing and discussing the advanced case studies and development strategies of Jiande First People's Hospital, this report aims to provide valuable experience and reference for information managers and hospital builders at the county and city levels, enabling them to complete the latest Phase 4.0 upgrade of hospital informatization in less time and at lower cost.
“Medical Big Data Enters the Era of Value Output”Digital technology is ubiquitous. Advances in sensor technology, enhanced data processing capabilities, reduced computing and storage costs, and the expansion of network infrastructure have continuously improved our ability to collect, store, and analyze data. Where does big data come from, and where is it headed? This report focuses on the niche sector of healthcare big data to explore its flow and value output, examining the entire lifecycle from generation, mining, and processing to utilization, thereby providing a comprehensive understanding of the healthcare big data industry.
