Meinian Onehealth Advances in Digital Health with Joint Ultrasound Big Data Platform

Meinian Onehealth Launches New Initiative in Digital Life SciencesRecently, at the Conference on the Application and Promotion of Ultrasound Big Data and Artificial Intelligence held in Hangzhou, Meinian Onehealth, the Hangzhou Innovation Center of the National Engineering Laboratory for Big Data Algorithms and Analytics, and the Zhejiang Society of Mathematical Medicine reached a collaboration agreement in the field of ultrasound artificial intelligence to jointly establish a comprehensive ultrasound big data database.

According to VCBeat (WeChat ID: vcbeat), Meinian Onehealth has long been deeply engaged in the field of preventive medicine, possessing vast amounts of health big data. The company strives to build a Meinian Onehealth healthcare ecosystem map using big data and artificial intelligence, further enhancing “precision prevention” and supporting the innovative transformation of preventive medicine.

From an industry perspective, the professional health checkup sector possesses a distinct advantage in data foundation. As China’s largest entry point for health demands and a major traffic platform, Meinian Onehealth currently operates more than 600 medical and checkup centers across 215 core cities nationwide. In 2018, it provided professional checkup services to over 30 million people, with its service volume projected to reach 100 million person-times within a few years.

Leveraging its advantages in scale and volume, Meinian Onehealth has established barriers in the field of health big data. Following the logic of “professional physical examination – precise data – high-risk screening – risk assessment – health management,” Meinian Onehealth identifies high-risk populations from massive amounts of general health checkup data, conducts precise assessments, provides personalized solutions, and implements health management to help clients restore their health.

The interpretation and application of big data have provided development opportunities for Meinian Onehealth to implement precision prevention.

In fact, the innovative health management product “Meinian Good Doctor” previously launched is a significant outcome of Meinian’s years of data analysis and mining. By conducting in-depth analysis and research on tens of millions of health data points, combined with medical experts’ consensus on disease prevention and screening methods, “Meinian Good Doctor” has customized 162 health packages for consumers across six age groups. This approach meets diverse consumer health needs, enhances service quality, and effectively achieves precise prevention.

Recently, Meinian Onehealth partnered with a national-level platform, the China Economic Information Service of Xinhua News Agency, to jointly launch the "China Resident Physical Examination Health Index" project. The two parties collaboratively compiled and released this index, with academic support provided by the Meinian Public Health Research Institute of Peking University Health Science Center. This index aims to quantitatively evaluate the comprehensive health status and health trends of Chinese residents, facilitating the transformation of China's health ecosystem from a "disease-centered" approach to a "health-centered" one.

Some industry insiders believe that medical big data, as a fundamental driving force in the health industry, holds significant value.

In the realm of public health, massive volumes of health data—characterized by standardization, diversification, and specialization—enable multi-dimensional consumer health profiling, thereby providing a robust evidence base for government agencies to formulate policies on chronic disease prevention and control.

In terms of personal health management, health examination data can objectively and accurately reflect dynamic changes in an individual’s health status, while providing critical alerts and early warnings for certain risk factors. Regarding supportive technologies and innovation, breakthroughs in advanced early diagnosis and precision medicine rely heavily on precise industry data.

It is understood that the “China Resident Health Checkup Index” will focus on assessing major types of chronic diseases in China, as well as the health status of residents across various provinces and cities. This initiative will not only facilitate the early identification of the distribution, current status, and trends of chronic diseases among residents in different regions, but also play a positive guiding role in improving and innovating China’s overall disease prevention system. It will provide a basis for decision-making by industry regulatory authorities, enhance the national health level, and support the healthy development of the industrial ecosystem.

The Director of the Office of Informatization and Big Data Applications under the Department of Planning and Information of the National Health Commission has pointed out that data-driven research in the health and medical sector is becoming a key engine for achieving tangible results in disease prevention and control. It will play a significant role in accelerating technological breakthroughs in disease prevention and control, improving healthcare delivery models, and restructuring the health service system. Establishing interconnectivity among high-quality health and medical data from diverse sources, breaking down existing data silos through secure and mutually beneficial data-sharing cooperation mechanisms, and ultimately achieving open access to and sharing of health and medical data are of great significance.

As a leading enterprise in preventive medicine, Meinian Onehealth actively engages in the big data analysis and application of core services such as health checkups and medical imaging. By collaborating with authoritative institutions and academic platforms through multi-faceted exchanges, it is rapidly advancing the digitalization and intelligent transformation of its subsidiary checkup centers, thereby building a health big data sharing platform tailored to future development needs.

In April this year, at the Conference on the Application and Promotion of Ultrasound Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, Meinian Onehealth, the Hangzhou Innovation Center of the National Engineering Laboratory for Big Data Algorithms and Analytics, and the Zhejiang Society of Mathematical Medicine reached a collaboration in the field of ultrasound AI, with the three parties jointly establishing an ultrasound big data database.

Meinian Onehealth stated that its vast patient volume and data should entail greater responsibility for scientific research and technological breakthroughs. Going forward, Meinian will continue to strengthen standardized data collection, quality control, and data analysis, thereby supporting the establishment of specialized medical imaging databases and consistently facilitating the translation of innovative scientific and technological achievements into practical applications.

Furthermore, Meinian Onehealth has partnered with Peking University Health Science Center and Peking University to jointly establish the PKU-Meinian Institute of Public Health. Leveraging massive nationwide data and the academic expertise of these institutions, the institute conducts in-depth mining, research, and analysis of health data to build a world-leading platform for public health and big data research and practice, thereby providing data-driven support for the formulation of public health policies.

The value that these data will bring to public health and medical technology innovation in the future is worth anticipating.
