    Christmas means the end of the year, less than a week, 2020 is coming In this year, driven by new professional technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, 3D printing and 5g technology, technology is changing the medical field in an unprecedented way In today's article, the content team of Wuxi apptec will share with readers the new technologies in the field of medical treatment that are worth looking forward to and paying attention to in 2020, based on the public materials At present, there is nothing more exciting in the field of health care than artificial intelligence AI is undoubtedly in the "best era" around the huge growth of the medical industry By 2021, the application of artificial intelligence in the medical industry is expected to grow rapidly at an annual rate of 40%, and its investment will increase from about 600 million dollars in 2014 to 6.6 billion dollars Compared with the traditional medical treatment, the emergence of artificial intelligence provides a new way to carry out disease diagnosis, create treatment plans, improve the efficiency of medical research and clinical trials, standardize the operation of doctors on various advanced medical systems, and at the same time, AI also has quite remarkable achievements in target analysis and chemical compounds selection According to McKinsey, relying on big data and artificial intelligence to process large amounts of medical data can save the medical and pharmaceutical industries nearly $100 billion a year Can you entrust your life to a robot? In the medical environment, it is obviously possible The operation system like da Vinci robot can help surgeons in the operation environment It is the most successful and widely used operation robot in the world, widely used in general surgery, Urology, cardiovascular surgery, thoracic surgery, gynecology, facial features, pediatric surgery, etc The market for medical robots is expected to reach $20 billion by 2030 and will be used to carry out tasks in more areas In the future, this kind of robot will go out of the operating room, the hospital and some rural and remote areas From the current technology, the medical robot has realized the possibility of telemedicine, drug sorting, ward disinfection, patient rehabilitation, building an automated laboratory and packaging medical equipment In addition to these bulky "big guys", there are some very light medical robots Because of their lightweight features, these micro robots can deliver drugs to specific parts of the human body, such as radiotherapy of tumors or in-depth treatment of bacterial infection Of course, there are also some medical robots for daily care, which can provide health support for patients in non hospital environment, and remind patients and their families to check vital signs every day For some patients who are not able to move or are seriously ill, the robot can also provide family notification services Computer vision technology (CV) is widely used in medical image aided diagnosis Because 90% of medical data is based on image, computer vision in medicine has many uses From enabling new medical diagnosis methods to analyzing X-rays, mammography and other scans, as well as monitoring patients to find problems earlier and assist in surgery, medical image data is an important part of medical data CV model can improve the efficiency of image analysis by quickly and accurately labeling specific abnormal structures Improving the efficiency of image analysis can free more time for radiologists to focus on content review that needs more interpretation or judgment, which is expected to alleviate the supply gap of radiologists CV has achieved good results in the imaging diagnosis of nervous system diseases and cardiovascular diseases In the future, based on CV, it can also help doctors to accurately understand the blood loss of women during childbirth, so as to better care for mothers, so as to avoid the irreversible consequences caused by postpartum hemorrhage Wearable technology has been better integrated into people's daily life Apple watch series, Fitbit intelligent bracelet, millet bracelet, etc are all easily available to everyone, and are also regarded as the mainstream equipment for monitoring daily health Because of its low cost, easy to carry and manage, it can monitor heart rate, blood pressure, detect atrial fibrillation, send reports to doctors, track body temperature, etc., about 80% of people are willing to use this technology From this point of view, there are still great opportunities for these wearable devices to be used in health care in the future Evolv monitoring equipment similar to Omron has become a new standard for blood pressure monitoring equipment Different from the wrist watch, the device needs to be worn on the upper arm The components of the traditional blood pressure instrument are integrated into the integrated device, and there is no cumbersome wire Evolv is not only highly available, because of its mobile nature, people can also monitor blood pressure anytime and anywhere All monitoring data will be synchronized with supporting applications Doctors can also manage patients well through these data feedback applications Genomics makes disease prediction, diagnosis and treatment more accurate and individualized than ever before Genomics studies the complex biological details of individuals and uses them for effective diagnosis and tailored therapies The support of artificial intelligence will further help genomics to produce more accurate treatment results The computer can check the gene and gene mutation that cause the disease in detail, which helps doctors and biologists better understand the process of disease occurrence, and make precise treatment after all, until eradication At present, scientists are carrying out a lot of research on transplant rejection, cystic fibrosis and cancer to determine how to treat these diseases through individualized drug combination 3D printing creates a huge opportunity for the medical industry According to a report by market research firm Smartech analysis, the market value of medical 3D printing is estimated to be $1.25 billion; by 2027, its market value will increase to $6.08 billion Obviously, the potential of 3D printing in the medical field is huge In the field of surgery, doctors can use 3D printing technology to restore human organs, so as to reduce the shortage of organs in organ transplantation Not only human organs can be printed, but also many medical devices can be 3D printed Of course, the dental field we are familiar with is the most mature field of 3D printing Patients who were disabled for various reasons can now have more comfortable and ergonomic prostheses with 3D printing In the future, human interaction will change from 2D to 3D The 3D visual interaction system depends on the development of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and hybrid reality (MR) These technologies are collectively referred to as extended reality (XR) Virtual reality can help patients with vision disorders, depression, cancer and autism; augmented reality technology can help doctors with brain surgery and vascular reconstruction; in the mixed reality, the virtual world and the real world are perfectly intertwined, so it also plays a part of the function of doctor education, and can help patients understand their condition or treatment plan By 2025, the market value of global XR technology in the field of health care is expected to reach US $5.1 billion, which is due to the continuous updating and iteration of health information technology and investment injection from all parties In the future, doctors will make more and more use of XRS to control medical procedures Hospitals are also using it to simplify medical processes and improve health care system It can be said that from patient care and surgical imaging to doctor training, XRS technology will have outstanding performance Digital twins play the role of "digital replica" of entity objects or services in the medical industry It can provide a secure environment to test the performance of related systems In practice, it can help doctors understand the possibility of successful surgery, help to make treatment decisions, and manage chronic diseases Before that, the content team of Wuxi apptec had reported on the successful creation of digital twins based on Alzheimer's disease (AD) disease model for machine learning platform Through digital twin, doctors can improve their medical experience through effective, patient-centered care At present, the application of digital twin in medical field is still in its infancy, but its potential is huge With faster download and upload speeds and wider coverage, 5g is bound to bring changes to our current healthcare scenario This year, the world's first 5g remote surgery test was successfully completed in Fujian Province Doctors transmitted real-time operation signals through 5g technology, remotely controlled robots 50 kilometers away, and performed lobectomy on experimental animals The successful implementation of the operation laid a foundation for the clinical application of 5g telesurgery in the future 5g technology will enable the transfer of large image files so that experts can review and advise on care It is expected to be applied in the following four fields: telemedicine, data mining, intelligent terminal and rapid first aid 5g technology will bring a comprehensive improvement of the network layer, which to a large extent meets the needs of real-time, high efficiency and stability of medical treatment The function of hardware and software intelligent products will be further extended, and medical data can be deeply mined, so as to make better decisions and allocate medical resources reasonably Intelligent terminals such as bracelets will form a complete system Doctors can collect and accumulate medical data in the system, break the time and space constraints, and achieve continuous and accurate detection There is also the advantage of 5g millisecond low time delay in the emergency work, which can better ensure that the hospital can quickly prepare to receive patients, and the patients can quickly enter the rescue after arriving at the hospital Original title: looking forward to 2020, the performance of nine new technologies in the medical field is worth looking forward to A kind of
