As a country with a large population, China has a huge demand for both medical equipment and doctors. However, objectively speaking, due to various reasons, the distribution of medical resources in China is not very balanced. Most of the medical resources are in large hospitals in first-tier cities, which has led to the situation of "difficulty in seeing a doctor."

With the rise of artificial intelligence in recent years, many people have begun to work on combining "intelligence" with "medical care", including smart medical devices, AI disease analysis, and smart medical systems, trying to use technology to solve various medical problems.

Today, let me talk to you about the industry trends of smart healthcare ~

▌Al can accurately identify medical images

Now, AI based on convolutional neural networks can accurately identify medical images, thereby assisting doctors in their work.

▲Arterys Cardio DL outlines the ventricle

Arterys of the United States is committed to processing large amounts of data through powerful cloud computing tools to help doctors decide on treatment plans faster and more accurately. Its product Arterys Cardio DL was approved by the FDA earlier this year for analyzing cardiac MRI images.

Through cloud computing, Arterys Cardio DL can complete the processing of an image within 10 seconds, automatically draw the inner and outer contours of the ventricle, and even provide accurate calculations of ventricular function.

Similar to this are IBM's artificial intelligence Watson, which can analyze a cancer patient's condition and provide treatment recommendations in just 10 minutes, and Aiddoc developed by a Chinese AI team.

▲Heart analysis image presented by Arterys Cardio DL

The contours drawn by the software can be manually modified by the physician if the physician deems it necessary, however, the Arterys Cardio DL has been shown to have an error rate comparable to that of an experienced clinician!

NFC OpenSense Smart Pharmaceutical Packaging

The data reading speed of NFC OpenSense is nearly 20 times that of traditional NFC solutions. Medicines with NFC OpenSense flexible tags can be connected to smartphones with NFC function. Users can easily check the content of the tag. At the same time, pharmaceutical companies can also track and verify each product through software and analysis tools.

▲Smart pharmaceutical packaging using NFC OpenSense tag technology in the future

The development and worldwide promotion of this product has received financial support from the Swedish and Canadian governments.

▌Smart throat: Let the deaf and mute "speak"

Professor Ren Tianling of the Institute of Microelectronics at Tsinghua University recently published a research paper titled "Intelligent Graphene Artificial Larynx with Sound Perception Capability" in Nature Communications. The paper shows that porous graphene materials can be used to manufacture an integrated acoustic device that can transmit and receive in one body and is suitable for wear.

This device can sense the sounds of the deaf-mute people's moans and screams, and convert them into sounds with controllable frequency and intensity. That is, the deaf-mute people can combine sounds of different intensities and frequencies into their own unique "language code" and speak through the "artificial larynx".

▌Comments

Artificial intelligence and smart medical equipment have developed rapidly in recent years, providing tremendous help to both doctors and patients. At the same time, the entire smart medical industry has gradually taken shape, and leaders in specific fields have begun to emerge. However, this has also caused some people to worry that "artificial intelligence will make doctors unemployed."

I believe that the development of artificial intelligence is an unstoppable trend. However, from the current technical point of view, artificial intelligence cannot replace doctors in the short term. The decisions made by artificial intelligence are mainly to assist doctors in making judgments. In the future, doctors may have to improve their knowledge and skills to better adapt to the intelligence of medical care and use technology more effectively to serve patients. I believe that the future of medical care will reach one peak after another with the assistance of smart devices and artificial intelligence.
