In 2016, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the “Healthy China 2030” Planning Outline for the first time, which proposed that the scale of the medical service industry should reach 16 trillion yuan by 2030. The realization of this goal requires not only the expansion of “scale itself”, but also the concerted performance of industrial efficiency and industrial value, in order to compose a new chapter of the medical and health industry in the next 15 years.
When it comes to industrial efficiency and industrial value, it is clear that we cannot rely solely on the role of the government for support. In addition to policies, since the medical reform in 2009 used informatization as the “four pillars and eight pillars” to support the medical reform, China’s medical industry has begun to gradually move towards informatization and Internet, and accumulated a large amount of data sufficient for the next intelligent upgrade.
A large number of technology and Internet companies have also taken a fancy to the development prospects of the medical service industry, and technology giants such as Alibaba, Tencent, and Ping An have participated in the layout.
Alibaba launched Alibaba Health, which includes four sectors including medical e-commerce, smart medical/medical AI, product traceability, and health insurance. Tencent focused on launching Tencent Miying with AI imaging and AI-assisted diagnosis capabilities and WeChat Smart Hospital 3.0 through diagnostics .
Ping An Group focuses on building a medical ecosystem, through patient-oriented products such as Ping An Good Doctor and Wanjia Medical; Ping An Smart Medical’s series of technological empowerment for medical service providers and payment terminal layouts such as Ping An Medical Insurance Technology. The overall loop of the medical industry.
With policy support, technical preparations, and the participation of technology companies, what new industrial opportunities will emerge in healthcare? How do companies use this new industry opportunity to achieve their own growth? Today we can take Ping An as an example to find out.
Casting the Trident of Technology in the Medical Sea: What made Ping An to win the AI medical crown?
The core of all problems in China’s medical industry today comes from the scarcity of medical resources. Statistics show that by 2020, China’s number of physicians per 1,000 population will reach 2.5, and the number of hospital beds per 1,000 population will reach 6.
In contrast, in 2012, the United States had reached the same number. Under this core premise, China’s medical industry presents two major pain points. The first is the uneven distribution of medical resources, and the second is the low efficiency of the medical industry.
High-quality medical resources are over-concentrated in large hospitals in first- and second-tier cities, and patients have to face the bad experience of long consultation time and short face-to-face consultation. The work level of medical staff is even more uneven under high pressure, and misdiagnosis is easy to occur. Eventually, this has resulted in a highly tense situation in China’s current doctor-patient relationship.
In the process of solving the above problems, in addition to the government’s increasing investment in the medical industry and the innovation of medical institutions themselves, technology companies represented by Ping An Medical are gradually becoming an important driving force.
The primary reason for this is naturally the huge value of mobile Internet, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other technologies to the efficiency of the medical industry. Take artificial intelligence as an example, relying on image recognition technology and medical knowledge graphs, massive breakthroughs have been achieved in medical imaging.
In the technical proposition of AI+medicine, the intelligentization of medical imaging is regarded as the core direction. At the recent ISBI, the top international medical imaging conference, Ping An Technology won the overall championships and six sub-items in three competitions: pathological segmentation of lung cancer (ACDC), endoscopic image quality control (EAD), and pathological myopia detection (PALM). The world’s number one mission. At the conference last year, Ping An also won first place in the EX (hard exudate) segmentation task, second in the HE (hemorrhage) segmentation task, and third in the MA (microaneurysm) segmentation task in the fundus analysis competition. It can be seen that Ping An Technology’s continuous investment in medical imaging technology has brought about the effect of accumulation.
ISBI is an international academic conference dedicated to biomedical imaging jointly initiated by the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) and the IEEE Biomedical Engineering Society (EMBS). Every year ISBI launches a competition that attracts major universities and research institutions around the world to compete. Take the pathological segmentation of lung cancer as an example. The competition evaluates how to use machine learning algorithms to analyze medical videos to realize automatic detection and classification of lung cancer. Contending for the goal with Ping An Technology, there are 391 contestants including South Korean Lunit, Beihang University, and the National Cancer Institute of the United States. From taking off ISBI, the “AI crown” in the medical industry, it seems that we have truly achieved the “ranking” of Ping An’s technological strength in the country and the world.
The empowerment of AI technology in medical imaging can not only improve the doctor’s reading efficiency and help diagnosis and treatment analysis, but also reduce the doctor’s subjective bias and thereby reduce misdiagnosis. The accumulated data and models will be integrated into more humans and machines in the future Among the diagnosis and treatment plans, it has become the cornerstone of the growth of intelligent medical care.
The realization of all this is closely related to the accumulation of technology giants such as Ping An Medical, including BAT.
Speaking of Ping An Medical’s technological ecology, we may be able to describe it as a “trident”. In the technological ecology of Ping An Medical, it has three distinct advantages compared with the industry.
The first is basic technological strength: Ping An Medical’s rankings in the above competition are obvious to all, especially in the ACDC project, Ping An has made a breakthrough to propose solutions that integrate robust control theory with advanced artificial intelligence algorithms such as deep learning and migration learning. Program. It has already proved Ping An’s advanced nature in basic technological strength.
The second is rich application scenarios: In addition to controlling its own Ping An Good Doctors and Wanjia Medical, Ping An also cooperates closely with medical administrative authorities in multiple provinces and cities, and has signed contracts with more than 100 medical institutions. Achieved the coverage of 800 million people. In this way, the technology can be debugged and tempered in the real scene, which greatly enhances the practicality of the technology ecology and avoids the appearance of castles in the sky.
The third is massive vertical field data: The continuous output of technology in rich application scenarios will bring continuous data feedback. At the same time, Ping An Intelligent Medical also attaches great importance to the accumulation of professional data. Currently, it has established a drug library and a disease library. The five major medical databases, including, prescription treatment database, health factor database, and doctor medical database, cover the entire chain of the medical industry, and are prepared to provide energy for the technological ecology like crude oil.
It is not difficult to see that the source of this “trident” is not castles in the air, but the completion of data accumulation, scene application and technology projection in the sea of medical treatment in the real world. The safety of holding the trident not only means overcoming obstacles in technology, but also means the opportunity and responsibility of building an industrial ecology.
“Dredge, communicate, guide, guide”: the wisdom and actions of Ping An to build a medical ecosystem
The existence of the technical ecology trident not only confirms Ping An’s own strength, but also means that by 2030, in the upgrading process of China’s medical industry for more than ten years, our goal is not only to solve the shortage and uneven distribution of existing medical resources. , Poor experience, etc., but to break through the imagination to achieve a comprehensive upgrade of the future medical industry. Among them, the role of the technological power represented by Ping An is likely to be beyond industry expectations. Next, we can analyze how technological power will affect the medical industry from Ping An’s specific capabilities.
AI is the broadest stage of medical care, first of all, AI’s empowerment of medical resource utilization. The utilization of medical resources is a very broad concept, which includes not only the work efficiency of medical staff and medical institutions themselves, whether they can reduce repetitive work, reduce vacant beds, and manage medicines and equipment rationally, but also include the health management of residents. Is it possible to focus on prevention and light treatment, and reduce the number of visits to the hospital.
Through the combination of AI capabilities and the Internet, it is possible to achieve full-process coverage of the above scenarios.
Ping An Medical’s medical and health life-cycle management platform launched five leading smart services based on five major health databases and a knowledge map containing 30,000 diseases
