The people-oriented medical and health concept is now in line with the “Healthy China 2030” strategy.
From subversion to embracing medical care, symbiosis is the only way to go < /h2>
Before the concept of smart medical care was introduced, China began advocating medical information construction as early as 1999. In the early years, medical informatization aims to establish and improve the information management system of medical institutions and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of medical services.
As of 2009, the central policy clearly stated that “actively develop telemedicine for rural and remote areas”. Telemedicine is an important application of medical information technology, aiming at the reform goal of sinking medical resources. It is worth noting that this reform has been carried out from the top down, mainly within the public hospital system, and the results have not been significant.
2014 is the “first year of China Internet Medical Care”. In this year, a large number of market entities outside the hospital system began to “catch into” the medical market. They focused on Internet giants and start-ups, cutting through all aspects and scenarios of the traditional medical market: appointment registration, electronic payment, online consultation. , online drug sales, medical science, vocational re-education and other fields are involved. They once screamed the slogan of “subverting medical care” and were regarded as “barbarians” in the medical health market.
However, the good times are not long. Around 2017, the first round of Internet medical bubble has been declared shattered. This has both a direct factor in cooling the capital market and a deeper reason at the industrial level.
The fallen “barbarians” began to realize that the medical market is a very special market, and Internet companies must work closely with traditional medical institutions, pharmaceutical companies and medical insurance units to achieve development.
As a result, “subversion of medical care” has quietly transformed into “embrace medical care” and “internet medical care” has gradually evolved into “smart medical care”.
We believe that smart medical technology has broken through the limitations of Internet medical technology at the technical and institutional levels: in terms of technology, smart medical technology has fully utilized the advantages of next-generation network information technology, sensors, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, The widespread use of new technologies such as big data far exceeds the scope of the traditional Internet; in terms of mechanism, smart healthcare emphasizes the close integration of network information technology and traditional medical care to achieve integrated development, rather than substitution and subversion.
At present, in the intensive medical improvement process, many measures introduced by the Chinese government have clearly reflected the policy orientation of smart medical care. Between the medical and information industries, the traditional medical system has also shown an increasingly obvious convergence trend inside and outside.
Although the development of smart medical care in China is still in its infancy, facing many pain points and obstacles to be broken, we are convinced that smart medical care is the implementation of medical reform.
