Zhang: Huawei Health Cloud Application Practice

Huawei has been engaged in the communications industry, the exploration of cloud computing, including in the application of cloud computing above some industries, but also more than six or seven years of time. The development and application of health cloud has always been an important chain in Huawei's cloud computing industry. The current confusion about health care is something everyone wants to solve, and Huawei is no exception. The driving force of information is to be efficient, people in the life process, no matter which industry, hope to do this information system, to solve their own problems, a great impetus from the high efficiency, sharing and customization. And the information age, is actually from the computer, from the mainframe, PC, Internet age step by step, development today, wireless communications and communications technology development, cloud computing for all walks of life has brought a new one can explore a direction. In this kind of medical practice and application process, in fact, no matter to the government, hospitals, patients, doctors, four-digit one of the high efficiency, energy saving, sharing and security of a message. Please see the reporter's interview below.

Huawei Cloud Computing Solutions Integration Director Zhang

Reporter: Huawei has been in the medical industry since last year?

Zhang: We have been in the medical profession for a long time, 4 years.

Reporter: Have not publicized?

Zhang: Yes, we had a lot of point last year, like Shanghai North Hospital, Zhabei Hospital, which we have already started to do. We started doing cloud computing three or four years ago, is not aimed at Huawei's old bank communications industry, began to aim at all walks of life, because today's main issue is the same, mobile medical information, the theme of today's meeting should be more this aspect, although called mobile medical, is actually the study of medical information, In this context, in fact, cloud computing, and other mobile communication technology, is to serve the information technology, so Huawei began long ago, we began four or five years ago to do cloud computing when the company's direction made a big adjustment, not only for the communications industry, So we can see that the company's organizational structure is changing, we also have a specialized enterprise incubation project, is specialized in the government, education, medical vertical industry institutions, specializing in the incubation of Huawei for this platform technology, platform product composition of various industry solutions, dedicated to such a team to do such a thing, Because Huawei has gone from grid technology to doing cloud computing today, over the past four years, we have had some development in our medical solutions last year, including the large-scale deployment and piloting of several hospitals in Shanghai, which we started a long time ago, and with the Shanghai government's cloud Computing Industry Alliance, Is the Sea of Clouds Alliance, also specialized to reach the cooperation, is in the national pilot Medical Cloud, also is Huawei to the medical profession a very big contribution.

Journalist: What about Shanghai and Shenzhen?

Zhang: Whether Shanghai or Shenzhen, we will be willing to actively cooperate and cooperate, we are also actively cooperating with the municipal construction, but we all know that from the forefront of medical doctors, Beijing, Shanghai should be said to be relatively advanced in China, so we are also very easy to compare with the more advanced cities have a positive cooperation , to complete such a thing, of course, because everyone said Huawei's organs are in Shenzhen, many people are asking why not Shenzhen? In fact, we are also in deep cooperation with Shenzhen, the current Huawei is also in the Shenzhen Cloud Computing Pilot Center is a governing unit, also plays a leading role, because Shenzhen is more services such as logistics, distance education, such as some industries.

Journalist: What is the share of healthcare in Huawei's cloud computing field?

Zhang: In fact, it is not clear, today's General Assembly can be seen, China Mobile, the Chinese telecom, Unicom are all involved, what is the reason? The information base of medical service is in fact and the information infrastructure of other industries is needed, is interlinked, if I really want to answer you such a percentage, I can say absolutely we are all investing in the medical profession, because all the information base is in the service of all walks of life, also in the service of medical care. This is the first level. On the second level, from the industry point of view, Huawei Cloud computing is one of the first five sectors of the incubation of health care, but also because we see health care for the people's livelihood, the government, for all sectors of the model role, we in energy, transport, health care, education, and so on, in fact, the investment is very This is one of the industries that we attach great importance to.

Reporter: What are the main parts of Huawei's healthcare Industry cloud computing solution?

Zhang: At present, everyone will talk about the use of X-ray in hospital these images audio-visual systems; The second aspect is telemedicine, in fact, cloud computing is well suited to the concept of telemedicine, cloud computing itself is a very close combination of the network, but also is based on a network of application push to serve the entire telemedicine Third, we are also doing some similar regional health solutions, including the fact that health reform is now talking about the need to build the community, the regional medical institutions, and make it difficult for people to see a doctor, in this case, Huawei has done a lot of regional medical institutions solutions, including our health stations, Community station for Remote Desktop and so on some of these solutions, to solve some of these problems; Four, also include in the hospital such as Hayes System, the LIS System (sound) and so on these solutions, is the overall hospital information solutions, we call the hospital's green solution, Because in our opinion now speak Green speak a lot of, but in the hospital need green, the whole solution how to save energy, how to do well the information of carbon emission, intelligent medical Information System solution, is also our very important development direction. Of course, with depth, there may be more, because Huawei said cloud computing must say cloud tube end, in the terminal above and even personal we call human body network, in our personal body may have a network, including we now use the mobile phone, including the Wu chairman is also talking about this thing, how to do the human blood pressure, information health collection , so we call it a medical personal solution, and we're also making very important investments, and now we have real business information, including wrist-type blood pressure, heartbeat, and other information-gathering instruments that are being developed and developed as an important part of our cloud tube end.

Reporter: Do you have the actual case in the medical profession here?

Zhang: There are, now in Shanghai, the city North Hospital has been running for half a year, the whole hospital information system is Huawei mainly to build, this information system embodies the intelligent, remote, green, there are many like virtualization desktop, all the office is actually now in the remote office, And this side of the load terminal presents just the terminal of the cloud, it has several advantages: the confidentiality of information, we all know that personal medical information is a very important topic; the second is green, in the treatment of the patient's space, we use the cloud terminal its power consumption is probably one or two watts, and so these include queuing, including blood tests. The intervention of these instruments are all Huawei input, now has been normal operation for half a year, and now in Pudong also has hospitals in the construction, so now the overall solution should have a lot of reference and demonstration effect, are in the way of cloud construction, Now in Ningbo We are also building a very large intelligent city, part of the medical this piece, because we and the Ningbo government is also a good partner.

Journalist: has Huawei's medical informatization solution passed a third party test? What is its test conclusion? What is the user's feedback?

Zhang: Now the city North Hospital, from the current commercial business and community information services in the static, the hospital also has statistics, the hospital to save about 50% cost, nearly 60% of the efficiency. Second, because we have a lot of cooperation with Shanghai, Shanghai in the information, especially the information I spent a lot of time, so in fact, such as City North Hospital, we are and Shanghai Software Center for evaluation, completely passed their test, as Pudong hospital is mainly with the Pudong Software Park Test Center for evaluation, These reviews have been unanimously approved, and if they do not get their evaluation through the words we can not be on the line, in fact, we have been online for half a year now, so the overall assessment of the situation is very good. Third, cloud computing itself has not been a relaxation of the assessment, including the world's largest cloud computing organization DMTF standards, it is the largest cloud computing standards in the United States, is actually the chairman of the staff of Huawei, we have in Japan, Germany, we have this evaluation agency on our overall cloud computing, Including the cloud based medical system evaluation, at home is still mainly concentrated in Shanghai, we are active and some of the national institutions to do including "Twelve-Five" cloud computing norms, Huawei is involved, so it should be said to be a good government partner.

Reporter: Can you introduce the cloud computing solution to the work of the hospital and the work of doctors to bring what convenience?

Zhang: Let me give you a very simple example, we are using pad, Huawei is also talking about pad, Huawei's pad is dedicated to the industry use, we used to talk about cases are paper, now we talk about electronic cases, it has several benefits, first of all to be able to quickly relate to the personal health records, so that every time you patrol, Every prescription is recorded on your personal health file, we talk about hospitals, doctors, the benefits of information to them? I think the first thing to say is what's good for the patient, we talk about a person from birth to death. How can all health records accumulate, in fact, information has played a very very large role in the past, we can imagine the paper is certainly unable to manage, and now the way of electronic cases, including I just said the personal "body network", The collection of personal health records is very beneficial. Second, under the support of the Shanghai municipal government, how to achieve the personal information system, the doctor to the patient's personal information system can be shared? Like the X-rays I took, I could use it in other hospitals, with government support, it should be said that the information system is the only way to give this support a lot of help, before I took an X-ray film, Beijing to take to Shanghai, it may be difficult to confirm, the Doctor is afraid to say you are not mistaken is this film, so I can not recognize, To Shanghai can only be repeated, and the use of information to the full management and sharing, which has brought great benefits to the doctors and patients. Third, in terms of the efficiency of the doctor's affairs, we say the Chinese doctor is difficult, in fact more is in the hospital efficiency, how do we use a set of environment for the whole exchange of information, the flow of information, so that the overall solution to improve the efficiency of doctors and patients, this is our entire cloud computing the direction of pursuit, And now the overall efficiency is up 60%, because the most important thing is to start from the hospital, until you come out of the hospital, you see all the disease is on the same information platform, do not need to do the conversion, the entire exchange process some of the efficiency of the promotion is obvious. Meanwhile, for the hospital effect of the cost savings, so that the cost of the patient's savings also played a great help, because cloud computing has the way to reuse, in this case better coordination, so that before for example a Hayes (sound) system I want to occupy a server, This system we found it used very well 7:30 A.M. to 10:30, but after 10:30 the patient is a little less, it is idle, it must also be empty, because the previous way a server or a workstation above an application, chimney-style construction, when this chimney-type construction application does not need, This server is still occupied, these resources are also wasted, now using the cloud, the cloud itself has automatic expansion, scaling such characteristics, when you do not use my resources to the other people to use, perhaps this time after 10:30 detection is particularly much, the LIS (sound) system has become particularly busy, Therefore, the sharing of resources between the system makes the cost of the hospital lower, thus reducing the patients 'This。 So from these several directions, this is our current complete system to achieve the effect, and cost reduction now Shanghai North Hospital has a test, almost save 56% of equipment costs, played a very good role.

Reporter: How many servers does the hospital save?

Zhang: I just said 56% of the cost savings, in fact, there are 30, 40% from the server's savings, it depends on the size and size of your hospital, but overall because the larger the size of a hospital, the greater the cost savings, because the larger pool can do greater reuse, so that the utilization of resources become greater, We have also analyzed, a medium-sized three-armour hospital, in fact, the cost of the server can be reduced by about 40%, the overall savings of 56%.

Reporter: That is to say the whole solution is basically region and large hospital?

Zhang: Yes, but our solution also for, for example, the rural medical station this remote has another new solution, because the rural medical station is also very need this way, because the resources of doctors in rural health stations is relatively small, how to do telemedicine, remote diagnosis, this is very important, Today, the General Assembly has been talking about mobile medicine, in fact, it is more to serve these people at the bottom, to solve these problems thoroughly. We all know that before the rural doctor must go to the big city, Beijing, Shanghai, which is a big bottleneck, how to do a good job in the community medical and even village medical is a very big direction, the result may not be cost savings, more is convenient, fast and efficient.

Journalist: Is there a case of telemedicine in Huawei? The village through the Internet can communicate with Beijing this side, can make a diagnosis?

Zhang: At present, the system is mature, and we are in the construction with the Ningbo government, more is with the government.

Reporter: Now the information sharing includes diagnosis, the three armour hospital and the directional Community hospital also includes the rural medical workstation what, in addition is the image information sharing between the major hospitals, from the vertical level, what do you think the government will provide support? Because I know Shanghai can do it. Elderly people in some community hospitals can be linked to the number of the corresponding three hospitals, and can share the corresponding information.

Zhang: At present, whether vertical or horizontal, in my opinion, the role of the government is the largest, in fact, there are many times, such as the sharing of prescriptions is very difficult, because this is intellectual property, for doctors, his intellectual property is a prescription, so this thing is difficult to do, but a little, The results of my diagnostic tests are very much in need of sharing, this sharing itself requires the government to build, not a hospital to build, such as a certain three hospitals can only solve the single line you have just said, their own jurisdiction of the county, district, township of these health clinics, but for more extensive communication he is difficult to do, So in fact, the Government must introduce such a policy, I think this is the first step, of course, the introduction of this policy itself depends on the protection of information security, that is, there must be some technology, we all know the latest monitoring door, the British royal family is listening to what? No, it's a nephew of Prince Charles who got sick. This health information, this itself to be based on a good accumulation of technology, can be completely real solution, the government issued such a text, the first step to do is technical, the second step to introduce such a text we say it is based on technology, then the government how to do this assessment? Is the information system safe? Is it confidential? The government must have a more professional and perfect testing and evaluation organization as soon as possible to conduct a unified evaluation of the medical information system. Third, for a government, more important is to do our technical choice and direction of grasp, why I say this by the government to do, the hospital can not do, the community can not do, we can not do, we have to give support, because the government's policy direction is what, guide the direction of what, Determines what kind of solution we need to take, for example, today we are doing health reform, the information system of medical reform and all the equipment of hospital, all need to be connected with the system of the National Information Center of health reform, at least the Social Security information needs docking, these all need the country to promulgate the unified method, direction and solution, Only unified solution to give out later, I in the process of information exchange can do more often, because Huawei to do communications, we have been talking about the agreement, in fact, this is a very important agreement, information how to do better sharing? Must be based on some kind of agreement, this kind of agreement also needs the country bigger to support, chooses oneself suitable, for instance today China's 3G communication chooses the CDMA2000, chooses the TD-SCDMA, chooses the WCDMA, Then the hospital information Exchange system inside how to ensure information security on the basis of information sharing, the development of this Agreement depends on the relevant agencies together to formulate, I think more of these three aspects.

Reporter: We huawei also has four medical profession's experience, if lets you summarize the Huawei in this aspect characteristic is what? Mainly from the technical level, how do you think it should be summed up? And what is the advantage of Huawei's health-care system solutions compared to other similar manufacturers?

Zhang: I personally feel that Huawei because of doing so for many years, we have been serving the information industry, we should say that we in the medical aspect, first, we are looking for intelligent, because today the basis of information, the source of power is intelligent, better intelligence to help people improve living standards, with Huawei's vision " Enriching people's lives and communication "is very similar, this is an important step, is intelligence." Second, high efficiency, how to carry on the basis of information to improve the medical, patient, hospital, government quartet relations? More efficient service improvement, which we have been emphasizing. Third, green, because in our opinion the hospital is more need of green institutions, of course, all walks of life need, we are in this concept to do cloud computing.

What are the characteristics of Huawei that we have with other friends or similar partners? First, end to end, because Huawei is not a service in the medical industry, so we have to and all the end-to-end partners in China to form a complete, healthy industrial ecological chain, in order to truly serve the Chinese medical industry, so that we and Shanghai, such as Ix, Wanda, Neusoft and so on we all have full cooperation, this is a great feature of Huawei, in fact, we have in the medical industry to build a healthy, perfect, positive ecological chain, only such an ecological chain to support us, this is the first, we provide end-to-end solutions, because of this ecological chain. Second, Huawei and other friends or our partners to compare, one of our obvious advantages is our leadership in technology, there is a very simple example, Huawei should be the first to introduce cloud computing into the medical industry; second, all of our technology, in a saying we have no butt, We are not the traditional provider of solutions to the healthcare industry, they want to maintain the continuity of traditional solutions in this industry, Huawei does not, so the first day when Huawei entered the industry to use the most advanced technology to provide services for the industry solutions. So it should be said that we should be more advanced. From these two, we will draw the line, technology leading to our low-cost, more efficient, coupled with Huawei's perfect network facilities, today's cloud computing provider or medical industry provider, but also only Huawei can provide a trinity of end, tube, cloud solution, the Trinity thus brings is the efficiency of Because we have our own terminals, whether it's just said the TC Virtualization Desktop Terminal, or wear in our hands to measure heartbeat, blood pressure measurement of these terminals, but also including network equipment, information technology must be included in the network equipment, Huawei has 22 years of experience in this, we have a long time on the network equipment radical Cure , but also achieved the world's leading technology, now we start to do cloud, data center side of the application of the server, so that the end, tube, Cloud Trinity provides a more efficient solution. Third, in the technology leadership on the End-to-end Solution Foundation, we provide a more intelligent system, the system allows patients from hospital to hospital, the overall workflow, so that the relationship between doctors and patients become more intelligent.

Reporter: There are more specific cases that Huawei as a no historical burden of enterprises into the cloud computing medical solution is the most advanced, can there be a specific case to explain it?

Zhang: Just now we mentioned the solutions offered in two hospitals in Shanghai, we might be the only one. Let this hospital have no PC, we all know that the PC is a very important part of the information, we provide a completely no computer working environment, but it seems that they are still using the computer, In fact, they do not have a computer, all the computing, storage, information sharing are placed on the data center side, and on the doctor side, including queuing, station, medical information input, prescribe medicine, electronic cases, and so on these things, are not in the way of PC. As you can see from this example, because we are not like many manufacturers of their own PC relies on a lot, cost Ah, profit Ah, and Huawei does not have these, so I was subversive, a way to use the cloud to help the hospital construction, so that the overall hospital efficiency, green to achieve the best. It should be said that in these two hospitals we are such a construction, the first phase is 150 virtualization desktop, to the second phase is 600 virtual China desktop, has been running for half a year now, without any problems, so that the hospital situation to achieve very good results.

Zhang: Here are two different concepts, first, the thin client is a cloud carrier, the previous diskless workstation or thin client, it is not using cloud technology, now TC thin client Sinkoland or Sinkoland (sound), but its backend use cloud technology in the construction.

Journalist: Server side?

Zhang: Yes, the server side, including its transport protocol, including its content rendering, has new technologies in it, not just diskless workstations.

Reporter: Can you tell us how many large hospitals in the country now are our customers?

Zhang: It should be said that our accurate figures are very difficult to disclose to you, actually quite a lot of, but more I want to say, more thorough, in fact we have built a lot of intelligent city, Wireless city, almost wireless city more than 30% are the construction of Huawei, we with operators, China Mobile, China Telecom they are in the building, These cities are more or less within the medical profession, and almost 30% of the cities in the wireless city are presented by Huawei, which covers medical care. But I was thinking more thoroughly, I think the demonstration of Ningbo and Shanghai is the most thorough, is just what we said is not the baggage, is entirely with the new technology into mobile medical or cloud medical direction above.

Reporter: Will there be some new technologies on display at this year's communication show?

Zhang: Sure, especially with the storage technology in the healthcare industry, because we have just said the pad, the hospital's audio-visual system, in fact, more will use the storage system, storage should be our communication at the exhibition will have a better technology to show, of course, including some of the resources of the Cloud scheduling considerations , all of these scheduling considerations are very upper-level applications related, we will also give a special resource scheduling algorithm for the healthcare industry, which should be shown at this year's communications show that Huawei used to show more general communication technology than ever before at the exhibition, and that from last year's north show, we turned to more information on the whole. We are also with operators to do such a turn, China Mobile's own slogan has changed, called Mobile information experts, never say that they are mobile phone experts or mobile communications experts, is an information technology experts, Huawei is also followed by operators to do such a conversion, We are likely to show more of this information technology in today's North exhibition.

Reporter: What is the next step in the medical cloud computing solution?

Zhang: Just now that comrade said very good, we horizontal longitudinal pull and fusion, this is our first development element, is how carries on the horizontal longitudinal pull. The second is to tie in with the country's health reform, all of which should be based on national policy direction of the GRASP, Huawei provides technology. So here is a very important issue, the direction of health reform is also the direction of our development, how to more quickly solve the difficult problem of medical treatment, is our very very important question. For example, we now launch a business called the Magic Screen, and Shanghai Telecom with the push, is to install an information terminal at home, this terminal can I do hospital queuing, registration, or simple information collection? This is a good question for us. Third, we will work with the Government to solve one thing, the doctor's knowledge is actually not the money, and we are now working with the government to see if we can solve the problem thoroughly, in fact, there are a lot of technical problems, solve this problem can be a doctor at home, In the past can not be a doctor at home a big problem is that after the illness of your medicine if you do not buy from this hospital, the hospital is a penny can not be received, the hospital does not have this motivation, because the doctor's knowledge has not been converted into productive forces, the hospital embodies what? The hospital manifests is this medicine money, earns is the medicine money, but is not the knowledge present, therefore the third is better and the government together better solves the doctor knowledge question, if solves we can better provide the whole solution, in the family inside. That also answers that question, why do we think the government has to put a lot of effort into this, because our solution is with the government's policy, if he has a thorough solution to the doctor's knowledge into productivity policy, then we can see the family doctor, to the pharmacy to buy medicine can be, Even when I get my Social Security card from a pharmacy, I can see a prescription from a doctor and get a prescription drug, and the whole system is a very important issue that we want to solve. More extensive even with pharmacies, with social security how to combine? This is a problem that needs to be solved with the government and the hospital. Of course, the technology may be better development of cloud computing technology, servers, storage, network equipment, so that these more advanced, developed for the medical industry three things, which is also very important. The last one, information security, this is our emphasis on the pursuit of in the footsteps of the information never forget the information there is a security issue, today, a partner of mine also came to Peking University, I just saw him, I have been working with Peking University to solve the problem of information security, that is, storage how to do better and more widely more excellent encryption, This is a very big problem for us and a very long-term issue.

Reporter: That is, Huawei is the first to the user to push product-related solutions are binding government to do?

Zhang: This is not called binding, it should be said that we work together with the Government to promote, because we have ideas and technology, to transform this technology into productive forces must be recognized by the Government, perhaps this technology in the medical industry is not suitable, we need to know why not, or that it is very suitable, In line with the long-term development of these information we must come from the cooperation with the Government, so we with the country's many standards to block, with the National Information Technology Department, the Communications Industry Alliance, and so these are in extensive cooperation, but also for this reason. I think more is not binding, more is cooperation, this must have Huawei's own contribution, Huawei is not an audience, not a passive recipient, more is a participant, I think it is also in line with the long-term development of our company direction.

Reporter: In the home long-distance doctor, mainly is the doctor's knowledge transforms into the productivity aspect, at present advances to what extent?

Zhang: What do you mean, we want real experts at home? It's not just a number. Then to the hospital, we want to solve more problems, which involves three standard formulation: first, policy standards, how the policy in the future to support this matter? Second, technical standards, if at home my information can be received by the hospital, but also confidential, but also with their health care, social security and so on a series of systems, this requires a set of standards. Third, the need for the underlying technical support standards, such as the standard of the server, it has some special applications in the hospital. This is the unique contribution of Huawei, we are more inclined to the latter two parts of the cooperation with many national institutions, including the Ministry of Information, standards and so on are cooperating, it should be said that now in the standard draft stage, because this is more inclined to the standard of the enactment of the real overall promotion, Rather than a pilot in a hospital or a pilot in a city, this is hard to do.
