China News Service, October 11 (Reporter Chen Jing) In the past few years, artificial intelligence has been widely used in the medical field.

How the development of medical artificial intelligence can better serve human health has become a topic of concern for experts and scholars at home and abroad.

  Dai Kerong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said on the 11th that since this century, surgical robots, wearable detection devices, remote consultations, and surgical systems, and the cultivation and use of bio-3D printing-based tissues and organs have overturned medical innovation.

In the future, artificial intelligence will be popular in the world.

  The 2nd Medical Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Development Summit Forum was held on the 11th.

The reporter learned that China has many people, patients, and data, and high-quality medical resources are insufficient and unevenly distributed, which provides room for the development of medical artificial intelligence.

Dai Kerong pointed out that the development of medical artificial intelligence is facing rare historical opportunities as well as many risks and challenges, such as: insufficient policies and regulations, insufficient interconnection standards, and insufficient operating mechanisms, which have restricted them to a certain extent. Application promotion and effectiveness of medical artificial intelligence.

  According to Wu Tao, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and deputy dean of the Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, in the post-epidemic era, facing bottlenecks such as insufficient medical resource reserves and insufficient emergency response capabilities, it is urgent to solve the "medicine-prevention" separation and sudden public health problems. The development of smart medical care is imperative for pain points and difficulties such as imperfect early response mechanism, weak awareness of collaborative research, and poor conversion application channels.

Wu Tao explained that the essence of smart medicine is to maximize health benefits through high-quality, efficient, and economical care.

He believes that, at present, China's smart medical system is gradually taking shape and is developing at a rapid pace with the global smart medical system.

  In recent decades, the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology has greatly improved the efficiency of human analysis, judgment, decision-making, and thinking.

In the medical field, artificial intelligence helps solve many problems such as insufficient medical resources and excessive medical costs.

Wu Tao said that in recent years, artificial intelligence, 5G, big data, etc. have been deeply integrated with the medical industry, which has inserted the wings of wisdom for the development of health care.

In his view, the most powerful weapon for humans to compete with diseases is the continuous development and innovation of science and technology.

Wu Tao said that during the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the significance of technology replacing labor has gradually become prominent.

Academician Zhuang Songlin of the Chinese Academy of Engineering also pointed out that in the epidemic, the artificial intelligence medical system has played an active role in helping medical prevention and control.

  This summit forum, co-sponsored by the Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine and the Special Committee of Medical-Industrial Transformation and Health Industry Integration of the Chinese Research Hospital Association, focuses on "integration, innovation, and development."

On the same day, the forum "online + offline" was held simultaneously, bringing together more than 300 well-known experts and scholars in the field of medical artificial intelligence, medical institution managers, etc., to build a platform for exciting ideas, exchanges and mutual learning.

  Academician of the Royal Academy of Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University Medical Robot Research Institute Yang Guangzhong, Chinese Academy of Sciences Shanghai Institute of Microsystems and Information Technology, Xie Xiaoming, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, deputy secretary of the party committee, deputy dean Wu Tao, and Japanese experts-Iwate Prefectural University Professor Hamido Fujita gave a keynote speech respectively.

  At the forum, Yang Guangzhong described the future development direction of medical robots.

He said that in the past 25 years, surgical robots have moved from the laboratory to the clinic. Now, surgical robots have assisted in more and more minimally invasive surgeries.

He believes that the surgical robot has developed from the original multi-hole to the current single-hole, and software surgical robots will be realized in the future.

He believes that continuum robots will make surgical instruments more flexible and effective.

Yang Guangzhong explained that many cancers originate from the natural cavity. For example, the successful development of the serpentine continuum robot will have a major impact on the early diagnosis and treatment of many diseases.

  Professor Hamido Fujita from Japan gave a keynote speech via video connection that day.

He said that big data has an important impact on human life, and machine learning can better analyze and optimize, making doctors' judgment and treatment more accurate.

Professor Hamido Fujita demonstrated the application of the wearable device he participated in the research in medical and other scenarios through machine learning, and also introduced the artificial intelligence data collection and analysis system researched by his team.
