Mobile medicine: Lever to pry the "stone" of medical reform

With the new round of health reform as the core of the policy, mobile smart devices, the emergence of medical apps, cloud computing, the Internet of things and other information applications and health services in the context of the integration of innovation as the background of the market environment, mobile medicine (health) leading the medical model "subversive change", It broke the traditional medical services in the geographical space and time limit, so that the ubiquitous, no time in the new "No Border medical services" dream is within reach, is expected to become a real lever to pry the "stone" of health reform.

Since 2012, research and development and market investment based on medical app and mobile medical devices have become significantly more active, with a large number of mobile medical devices and intelligent medical and intelligent Health solutions springing up successfully in a variety of health care scenarios. The abundant mobile medical application has greatly improved the efficiency and quality of medical service, gave full play to the efficiency of hospital information system, highlighted the technical advantages of digital hospital, and was warmly welcomed by doctors and patients. In particular, the explosive development of wearable medical equipment in the 2014, mobile medical care has become the darling of attention of medical market again.

Mobile medical applications are widely used, including health education, health management, remote data collection, disease and epidemic tracking, medical worker communication training, remote diagnosis and treatment support. It can be said that the patient in the hospital all the process, from registration, hospitalization, distribution of drugs, infusion, dispensing/pharmacy center, specimen collection and treatment, first aid/surgery to discharge checkout, can be optimized by mobile medical technology. Through PDA, mobile phone, tablet computer and other mobile terminals, doctors can be anywhere to carry out vital signs data collection, health care data query and input, wireless rounds, mobile care, drug distribution and distribution, patients with the application of barcode marker, mobile remote consultation, mobile phone appointment registration and so on. In the near future, hospitals and medical services will be borderless, and anyone can do most of the diagnosis and treatment through mobile terminals anytime, anywhere, and even remote first aid and surgery via smartphones or mobile terminals will be possible. It can be said that mobile medicine to solve the "disease" health reform has brought infinite possibilities and reverie.

As a national strategic planning and the promotion of information consumption, one of the important content, in the "State Council on promoting information consumption to expand domestic demand" and the "State Council on promoting the development of health services," and other related favorable policies, intelligent health care and mobile medical industry is ushering in a period of rapid development. Residents health card, electronic health files and electronic medical records, telemedicine and health management, medical counseling, appointment and treatment services have gradually become popular. The new portable health data acquisition equipment constantly emerges and renews, which makes the mobile medical and IoT, mobile Internet deeply integrated, and continuously promotes the level of automation and intelligent health Information service. Mobile medical care still faces many problems, the biggest problem is the huge cost and the standard is not unified at present, many domestic hospital information systems used by a number of vendors to provide, the standard is quite confusing, it is difficult to form a unified mobile medical access platform. At the same time, the wide application of mobile medicine also brings many problems, such as clinical data security, patient privacy protection, application interaction experience is poor, capital investment is too large, product replacement quickly and so on all kinds of problems need to be solved.

Therefore, in April 2-3rd in Beijing, "the fourth session of China Mobile Medical Industry Congress and the Second Intelligent Health Care (China) summit", we hope to bring together competent departments, business executives, industry experts and elites, as well as media representatives, to discuss the top-level design of the policies of industry regulation and standards related to mobile medicine. Analysis of industrial cooperation model, prospects and strategies, trends and other development hotspots, sharing and excavation of innovative products, technology and applications, grasp the industry pulse bo, innovative development mode, with a view to jointly promote health, rapid and sustainable development of medical industry!
