Chinanews, Suzhou, August 14 (Zhou Jianlin) On the 14th, the 2020 Global Artificial Intelligence Product Application Expo opened in Suzhou. At the meeting, Li Lanjuan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, delivered a keynote speech, explaining the role of artificial intelligence and big data technologies in epidemic analysis, virus traceability, prevention, control and treatment, and resource deployment in the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic.
This sudden epidemic has made 73-year-old Li Lanjuan a well-known public figure. Standing on the podium of the keynote forum, there was warm applause from the audience. At the scene, she reviewed the experience of several times when she actively invited Ying to go to Wuhan after the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. Li Lanjuan said that in the fight against the epidemic, technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data have played an important role.
"In diagnosis and treatment, artificial intelligence technology is used to speed up the genetic analysis of virus samples. Internet hospitals have played a very good role in this epidemic, using Internet platforms to provide remote outpatient and chronic disease renewal services for the majority of patients. "Li Lanjuan did not forget to give the robot a thumbs up. She said: "The robot has completed temperature measurement patrols, medicine delivery, meal delivery, disinfection and other tasks in the fight against the epidemic, which effectively saves manpower and reduces the risk of cross-infection of personnel."
Li Lanjuan said that artificial intelligence also plays a very good role in the prevention of epidemics in intelligent communities, such as voice recognition used by the follow-up system and inquiries on epidemic infection maps designed by artificial intelligence. In addition, intelligent hardware systems such as infrared intelligent AI temperature monitoring and image facial recognition models used in airports and railway stations are also playing an extremely important role in the prevention and control of infectious diseases.
Li Lanjuan especially emphasized the role of artificial intelligence in the discovery of new drugs. Because new coronary pneumonia is a completely new infectious disease, the time for drug development is very short. So some intelligent technologies are also applied. For example, the new use of old drugs, through the artificial intelligence algorithm in 151 kinds of marketed old drugs, analysis of 5 kinds of drugs that may be effective against the virus. This method of rapid screening of antiviral drugs is very important for reducing the incidence of severe illness in patients.
According to reports, the Smart Expo is the annual event of the global artificial intelligence industry, held in Suzhou for the first time in 2018. How artificial intelligence drives the innovation and development of the medical and health industry has become one of the focuses of this Smart Expo. In this regard, Li Lanjuan pointed out in the keynote speech "Under the epidemic, AI promotes new changes in medical and health", in the future, an integrated public health emergency response system based on big data and blockchain technology will be built.
