Cloud computing adds wings to mobile medicine

"The future integration of regional medical information platform is the general trend, based on the cloud of regional health information platform will promote the pace of integration." Recently, the Chinese Society of Communications, sponsored by China Mobile Medical Industry conference revealed such information. Many participants said that the advent of cloud computing provides a solution to the problem of mobile medical information sharing, and also helps telecom operators to achieve greater value in the mobile medical industry.

Operators can dominate

In the tide of mobile medicine, how can telecom operators find their own positioning?

The participants considered that telecom operators entering the mobile medical field is one of the breakthroughs in implementing the transition strategy. At present, the explosive growth of data business has failed to bring the Gospel of income increase for telecom operators, and the operators are facing the trend of pipeline. The development of intelligent terminals and cloud computing has brought great impact on telecom industry, and telecom operators need to transform from single telecom business operators to intelligent control and integrated information service providers. At this stage, telecom operators to introduce mobile health services, can improve business differentiation ability, enhance user experience, increase user viscosity, but also take part in social responsibility.

In the operation of mobile medical services, telecommunications operators have a unique advantage. The participants said that compared with any industry, telecommunications operators have the largest personal market penetration and user base, strong operational and technical capabilities, this capability is manifested in a wide range of basic communications facilities, namely the density and breadth of wireless network connections. Telecom operators also have an effective mechanism for billing and collecting small incremental fees, authentication, reliable communication capabilities, storage and data processing capabilities of remote data centers, existing customer service and remote communication capabilities, and global commercial or technical compacts for the ability to connect and roam within and among countries. In addition, telecom operators develop a sound foundation that can handle complex legal and regulatory matters.

However, "in the current situation, telecom operators in the mobile health industry has become the so-called ' dumb pipeline '." Hully, chief scientist of China Mobile Research Institute, said that from the "dumb pipes" that only provide vital signs data to the "smart pipeline" to promote the development of mobile health services, telecommunications operators also needed to provide the ability to continuously collect, transmit, store and distribute life-characteristic data and situational data. Capable of intelligent signal processing, analysis, identification and integration, as well as the ability to develop and provide the necessary solutions and application services conditionally.

Cloud computing will be a sharp weapon

In this position, cloud computing will help telecom operators achieve greater value in the mobile healthcare industry. China Unicom's experts believe that the advent of cloud computing for mobile medical information sharing problem provides a solution, through cloud computing, telecommunications operators can build a low-cost platform for information, so that each hospital can be shared. The chief engineer of China Telecom's business and enterprise clients also said now the regional medical information platform has just started, how to form a unified pool of resources in a city, a region, so that each hospital can be used to use the pool of resources, without the need for each hospital to separate their own IT system is to consider the problem, The future integration of regional medical information platform is the trend, and the regional health information platform based on cloud computing will push forward the integration step.

According to the guests, at present, telecom operators do not do medical software development or medical service builder, but build a large cloud computing platform for more medical institutions to provide cloud services. For example, mobile medical services for the community may be pushed forward from cloud services in the future, and services for large health systems may be built on a private cloud, while services for some small and medium-sized hospitals may be based on the public cloud.

In the integration of mobile medicine and cloud computing, Huawei Cloud Computing Solutions integration Director Zhang said that the smart, efficient, high reliability, Low-cost 4 features. Cloud computing with this resource allocation, automatic expansion of the way, so that each system can automatically manage and allocate resources, so that the medical information system more intelligent. The diagnosis of the system health and the management of the whole network resources can make the whole platform operate more efficiently. The medical system has a very high requirement for its data reliability, and cloud computing can guarantee the security of terminals, access, data, desktop management and so on, so as to ensure the safety and reliability of the information. The massive data on mobile healthcare will lead to a sharp rise in storage costs, which can be reduced by cloud-based distributed storage.

Grassroots unit or breakthrough

For the construction of mobile medical information system, large hospitals have strong strength in capital, technology and talents, they can build themselves. The hosts spoke of the difficulties telecoms operators have in expanding the mobile health market. In this respect, participants said that grassroots units will be to promote mobile medicine and even the entire medical information breakthrough.

For small and medium-sized hospitals, if they want to build their own mobile medical system, then whether it is from the talent, money and follow-up services are faced with many problems, so they prefer the integration of telecom operators services. At present, telecom operators have made breakthroughs in the mobile medical treatment of small and medium-sized enterprises. The Almighty introduced, China Telecom for small and medium-sized hospitals to build his system, and partners to build a SaaS model of cooperation, by the end of last year, his system has been widely used in 8,000 small and medium-sized hospitals nationwide. In addition, mobile medical care for the community, let telemedicine have the space to display their fists, China Unicom guests said that the mobile network advantages of telecommunications operators can make the hospital's internal electronic system mobile, so that doctors can easily access the wireless terminal to obtain a variety of hospital information, and even the various terminals to bind, Make an integrated terminal so that the patient can transmit his or her body information to the terminal at home.

Combined with "New agricultural integration", it is also a focal point for telecom operators to promote mobile medical care at the grassroots level. In this respect, Dai Zhong, a mobile company, said China Mobile has cooperated with 13 provinces on "New farming and cooperation", including the use of 12580, mobile newspaper, Wireless city portal and other ways to provide patients with appointment registration services, while providing new rural medical identity certification, payment, reimbursement and information inquiries and other services. For example, the Chinese telecom has been studying small and medium-sized hospitals since 5 years ago, in particular, the township hospitals and the rural Health service outlets, provided for the "new agricultural combination" medical services, for the county level government departments to provide a complete set of services, including funds management, management, compensation management, configuration maintenance, statistical analysis.
