Under the epidemic situation, Internet medical treatment strengthened against the trend and became a pioneer in the “battle” of science and technology.

At the beginning of 2020, a sudden new outbreak of pneumonia swept the world.

This epidemic has profoundly changed people’s daily life trajectories and habits in the past few months. It has caused many industries to fall into cyclical confusion, and it has also brought transformative vitality to many industries, such as Internet medical treatment.

After more than 20 years of development, the Internet medical industry has ushered in a golden development stage

Since the birth of Internet medicine in China, it has a history of more than 20 years. It has gone through many stages of development, including the budding period, the rising period, the frenzy period, the cold period, and the turning point period.

In this new crown epidemic, the advantages of Internet medical treatment have been further highlighted. The Health and Health Commission has issued two articles to promote the accelerated application of Internet medical treatment in social life. From the laboratory to the clinical frontline, from pathogen detection, epidemiological tracing, rapid screening to vaccine research and development, from online consultation and telemedicine to Internet hospitals, Internet medical has broken the limitations of time, space and region, becoming a technology “pioneer. Under the joint promotion of epidemic catalysis and favorable policies, the flow of medical platforms increased rapidly in the short term, and the industry ushered in a new stage of development.

Market demand, policy support and technological progress jointly promote the development of the Internet medical industry

At present, China’s population aging problem is aggravating, the trend of the aging population of chronically ill patients is showing, and the demand for medical treatment has exploded on a large scale. However, on the supply side, China’s high-quality medical resources are inadequate and unevenly distributed, making it difficult to meet the differentiated medical needs at all levels. The long-standing contradiction between medical supply and demand urgently requires a new technology or method to alleviate the dilemma. Improving the medical supply and demand structure, broadening the boundaries of medical services, and improving the efficiency of medical services have become the internal market demands for the development of Internet medical services.

Since 2018, China’s Internet medical management system has gradually become clear and standardized, and Internet diagnosis and treatment management methods and Internet medical insurance payment policies have been introduced. The intensive release of favorable policies is expected to become a booster for the development of the Internet medical industry, further opening up space for industry growth.

The accumulation of big data and the advancement of deep learning algorithms have enabled artificial intelligence to play a role in the medical field, landing in many scenarios such as medical imaging, assisted diagnosis, drug development, health management, disease risk prediction, hospital management, etc.application. Driven by technological progress, Internet medical services are expected to enter a new stage of intelligent development.

In the post-epidemic era, what are the new changes and trends in Internet healthcare?

With the gradual control of the epidemic situation in China, the resumption of production and the resumption of work in various regions have been carried out in an orderly manner, and the domestic economy has gradually recovered. In the post-epidemic era, what are the new changes and new trends in Internet healthcare? How to understand the internal logic of Internet medical development?

For this reason, based on the fundamentals of industry development, the Institute combines the latest developments and application trends of Internet medical treatment under the epidemic situation, and focuses on the five major details of “medical services, medical circulation, medical insurance, health management, and technology upgrade” under the Internet medical ecology Conduct in-depth research in different fields, analyze the different development stages and development characteristics of each field, sort out the diversified application directions, inventory the main players in the market and the industry competition pattern, and strive to describe the new trend of the development of the Internet medical industry in 2020.
