Spring rain doctor connects wearable equipment to remote interrogation

BAT scramble to invest heavily in the mobile medical market, the variables have been happening.

How can all kinds of wearable equipment collected cold, discrete mass of data into a structured, continuous health information, "eat crabs" there are a large number.

This time, just with the common people online pharmacies to expand the "remote interrogation + mobile drug purchase" Business of spring rain doctor will hand to the health industry chain front-end home medical device market.

Yesterday (21st), the Doctor announced that a standard service interface would be developed to provide data monitoring and interpretation services for wearable and home medical device manufacturers.

And behind this, in August this year announced the completion of the 50 million U.S. dollar C-round financing of the core business of the doctor-patient communication, users can through the phone in a very short period of time to find a practising physician to conduct remote online quiz.

According to the data provided by the doctor, the current platform has more than 33 million active users, more than 40,000 real public hospital doctors, more than 40,000 daily questions, and promised each question will be 100% responses in half an hour, the average response time is 3 minutes.

It is noteworthy that the current market for domestic medical devices in China has been developing rapidly. Statistics show that this year has a market size of 20 billion yuan, is expected to reach 42 billion in 2015, of which the market for wearable equipment is growing rapidly.

It is understood that today's smart wearable equipment has been able to support users to collect ECG, blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature and other types of data uploaded to the cloud, but the data collected to complete the value has not been effectively used, even if the hardware companies try to solve their own service problems, but mostly ineffective.

"On the one hand, because such equipment has been in the data acquisition stage, (a) lack of timely interpretation and intervention services provided by subsequent professional physicians; On the other hand, the change of individual data is difficult to produce the practical guidance to the user, the user needs to provide many kinds of combination data according to the doctor's suggestion, is advantageous for the doctor to make the reasonable judgment. The industry explains.

And in the spring Rain Doctor CEO Rui, the home medical service is divided into three levels, the top is data collection, is now a variety of household medical devices and wearable equipment; the middle tier is data integration, such as Apple's HealthKit and many of the country's third-party data platforms; The lower level is data-based medical services.

"The spring rain is doing is to the platform of 40,000 doctors to open up the service ability, butt all kinds of data acquisition equipment, really provide users with a result, not just a data acquisition process." Rui told the media, including the first financial daily.

According to the scene depicted by Rui, the user buys the related product set of spring rain doctor to establish the personal health file through the associated account, and can easily view the real-time data measured by the family medical device. And the spring rain Intelligent Monitoring system in accordance with the professional standards provided by doctors for data monitoring, once the data anomalies, spring rain will be the first time to remind users, and prompts the user to seek professional help for doctors to facilitate the timely intervention of doctors.

For home medical device manufacturers, such cooperation is indeed a good opportunity.

"Despite the good health of the heart of the domestic sales performance, but a year's sales are only tens of thousands of sets, compared with blood pressure, blood glucose meter sales can reach millions of sets." The main reason is that the user believes that the ECG data can not be as intuitive as blood pressure, blood sugar, and spring rain on this point to help us. "Yi Body Kang founder Zhou Yi told the first financial daily reporter."

However, due to the complexity of the service interface, Rui also frankly, now is not all hardware can directly access the service platform of spring rain.
