(The 3rd CIIE) Observation of CIIE: How does technology change the health industry?

  China News Agency, Shanghai, November 8th (Reporter Xia Bin) The pharmacy in front of the house is connected to the hospital to create a new intelligent telemedicine system; data cloud sharing makes AI voice follow-up a reality, and doctors can better treat patients throughout the course of the disease Management; through VR glasses, using holographic images and 3D models to visually analyze the lesions before surgery... The 3rd China International Import Expo set up a public health and epidemic prevention zone for the first time, and various smart medical products and services empowered by technology appeared. Attracted many eyes.

  When the fourth industrial revolution hits, the healthcare industry is undergoing changes. AI, Internet of Things, big data, robotics, 3D printing, wearable devices, virtual reality, etc. are continuously combined with medical technology to push the industry into a new pattern and stimulate Infinite opportunities for innovation.

  Co-sponsored by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization Investment and Technology Promotion Network, China News Agency and the State Forum, the third China International Import Expo "Fourth Industrial Revolution and Smart Medical Forum", supported by Johnson & Johnson China, was held in Shanghai, surrounded by guests and representatives from all walks of life The theme of "Medical Innovation and Digital Transformation Leading a Healthy Future" jointly issued the "strong voice" of smart medical care.

  According to a report by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), China's per capita health expenditure in 2018 was US$688. From this, it can be estimated that the health market will be about 6.328 trillion yuan.

However, China's total health expenditure accounts for about 6% of GDP, which is lower than the average level of OECD countries in 2018.

It can be seen that China's health market has broad development prospects.

  Shanghai Deputy Mayor Zong Ming pointed out at the forum that in recent years, with the continuous integration of cutting-edge technologies in the fields of digital technology and biomaterials, the fourth industrial revolution represented by artificial intelligence is opening a new era of human development.

  At present, digital empowerment is leading the implementation of innovative measures such as medical research and development, remote online consultation, clinical data collection, insurance product design, and remote settlement of expenses.

Digital technology has played an irreplaceable key role in China's fight against the epidemic, deepening medical reform, and improving the public health system.

  She said that in recent years, China's smart medical market demand has grown rapidly and its scale has expanded rapidly. All regions are actively exploring smart medical care, which will bring major changes and transformations to the medical industry and accelerate the application of new technologies.

  Ren Hongbin, Assistant Minister of China's Ministry of Commerce, said that in today's world, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation are developing in depth, and China's smart medical market is expanding rapidly.

With the development of China's economy and society and the increase of residents' income, the people's demand for high-quality and healthy life will continue to increase.

  "To solve health problems, we must rely on modern technology." Asgar Rangoonwala, President of Xi'an Janssen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Pharmaceutical Research and Development Industry Committee of the China Association of Foreign Investment Enterprises, said that China is currently leading the front in digital technology. The development of Internet healthcare is also at the forefront of the world.

  What should we do to truly realize the market potential of smart healthcare?

Qi Guixin, the first-level inspector of the Planning Development and Informationization Department of the National Health Commission of China, said that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the opportunities and challenges of health informatization work coexist. We urgently need to adhere to problem-oriented and goal-oriented, and promote infrastructure construction. Upgrade and gradually open up the information artery for the development of the health industry.

  "We hope that in the future, more innovations originating from China can be promoted to the world to better serve the health needs of patients and consumers." said Song Weiqun, senior vice president of Johnson & Johnson and chairman of China, said that China is in artificial intelligence, Innovations in 3D printing, 5G, surgical robots and other fields are developing rapidly. With the accelerated integration of cutting-edge technology and medical fields, smart medicine has a bright future in China.

China is increasingly becoming the world's leading innovation engine.

"We hope that in the future, more innovations originating from China can be promoted to the world to better serve the health needs of patients and consumers."

  Song Weiqun pointed out that in October last year, Johnson & Johnson's Global Executive Committee announced in Beijing the dual-engine strategy of "innovation + development" in the Chinese market, and plans to cooperate extensively with the Chinese government, industries, enterprises, medical institutions, and scientific research institutions.

There are four specific cooperation strategies: one is to accelerate the introduction of world-leading innovative products; the second is to speed up local research and development; the third is to strengthen high-end intelligent manufacturing capabilities in China; the fourth is to create an open innovation ecosystem.

At the same time, only by establishing a patient-centric, efficient and innovative medical payment method, can truly smart medical treatment be realized.

  An Sijia, for example, said that in order to ensure the sustainability of the treatment of patients with severe illness, we are working with partners to explore a new model of patient-centric Internet hospitals so that patients can use the right products at the right time and get reasonable reimbursement. .
