Touch the pulse of mobile medicine

For Mobile medicine, the reporter only contacted one months time, but has felt the domestic mobile medical market pulse and the breath is increasingly strong.

Influential companies always dominate the trend. Although Apple's smart watch iwatch has not yet been formally launched, the product has been the focus of mobile medical industry, known as the most important thing in mobile medicine this year, and the concept of "mobile medical care" has attracted much attention.

In December 2013, Apple executives met with U.S. FDA-related officials, one of whom drafted the FDA's guidelines for mobile medical applications. Apple's involvement also includes a top medical expert recently dug up by the company. In this respect, the industry generally guessed that the content of the call may be to discuss iwatch in mobile medical http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/18665.html "> Application Prospects, Apple may be on a regulatory hurdle when communicating its medical devices or applications with the FDA.

The industry expects Apple to release iOS 8 this year, the main mobile health and health care. Accordingly, iwatch also in the intensive development, is expected to launch in the second half of this year. According to reports, IOS 8 May add a new application called Healthbook, card structure, each card represents a user's physical signs data. In addition to monitoring the steps and energy consumption of these movement data, Healthbook can also detect blood pressure, heart rate, and may even include blood sugar levels and other data. And iwatch's role is likely to be human body data collectors, with the new version of iOS 8 to complete health-related functions.

Affected by this, the domestic mobile medical one or two-tier market has begun to flow surging, like 2012 years of hospital investment. In 2012, the upsurge in hospital investment was sought after by private-equity funds in the first tier market. By October 2013, the State Council issued "on the Promotion of health services development of a number of views", the heat further rise, not only in the first level of the market continued to ferment, but also to become a two-tier market hotspot, many listed companies have to live "courtyard." A listed company has risen 16% per cent in two days as executives plan to enter the hospital.

But the reason for the rise in mobile health care is different from the hospital, the breakthrough development of the industry, although also closely related to the policy, but compared with the hospital, mobile medical care is a greater degree of technology-driven.

From the domestic situation, the hospital information has experienced from the cable network era to the wireless network era and the development of the Internet of Things: the era of cable network is the basic business stage of hospital, taking the department as the core; The age of wireless network is the clinical stage of hospital, taking care as the core; The age of IoT is the patient information stage, and the patient is the core.

cable network and wireless network era is not mobile medicine, only in the era of Internet of things, mobile medicine has the corresponding technical basis. However, from the current situation, mobile medical technology needs to be constantly innovative and perfect. Moreover, after having the relevant technology foundation, still need to carry on the innovation of the business model, and find the product that similar Alipay is to the electricity merchant. When these conditions are available, mobile medicine can "fly".

In turn, for mobile medical care, the investment community needs insight and foresight, as well as single-minded tenacity and perseverance. Only in this way can we reap fruitful results in the future.
