Under the epidemic situation, we have seen the original intention of the birth of medical AI: to solve the scarcity of high-quality medical resources in China

The author: Wang Xiaoxing at the end of the year of self-defense, gengzichun, Jingchu great epidemic, all closed, national defense Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the daily hot search of microblog has been occupied by the epidemic related information Among them, a "diaper" hot search made countless people moved In order to save time, the front-line medical staff basically do not drink water at work On the one hand, because of the scarcity of protective clothing, on the other hand, wearing protective clothing takes up a lot of time to go to the toilet As a result, most of the medical staff work in diapers Some female staff cut their long hair for the convenience of work Medical staff try their best to save time and put into work However, China's high-quality medical resources are usually scarce When the epidemic disease breaks out on a large scale and the number of patients increases sharply, the medical resources that are in short supply are difficult to cope with At this time, we saw medical staff from all over the country rushing to help Wuhan But people are always tired and tired It's very difficult to maintain full enthusiasm and physical strength for a long time under long-term saturated work As a long-term observer of the medical AI industry, we are faced with such a situation I can't help thinking that in 2016, when medical AI rose on a large scale in China, many founders talked about the original intention of the birth of medical AI: to help doctors to free themselves from repetitive labor and solve the problem of scarcity of high-quality medical resources in China, which is also its greatest clinical significance Keeping this original intention, Shukun technology, as an outstanding enterprise representative in the field of medical AI, has completed the R & D and debugging of products with the fastest speed since the outbreak of the epidemic In this battle, it stands out responsibly and hopes to become a strong support for medical staff Wuhan Central Hospital, the medical AI product born in the center of the epidemic, is located in the core area of the epidemic, one station away from the South China seafood market As one of the 27 first-class hospitals in Wuhan, the hospital has 4300 employees During the novel coronavirus pneumonia treatment, novel coronavirus pneumonia patients reached the clinical standard of diagnosis, reaching more than 230 medical personnel Of them, more than 130 were hospitalized and more than 100 were at home Li Wenliang, the "whistle blower" of the epidemic, was also treated for invalid deaths, and the whole country held a "national funeral" for him on the Internet On December 18, 2019, a 65 year old male self-employed man came to Nanjing Road Hospital area of Wuhan Central Hospital to see the emergency department The novel coronavirus pneumonia was later confirmed to be the first confirmed pneumonia In December 27th, novel coronavirus pneumonia was admitted to second patients in Wuhan Central Hospital, a more than 40 year old young man from the outskirts of Wuhan He was identified as a new crown pneumonia in December 30th Since then, thousands novel coronavirus pneumonia patients have been admitted to Wuhan central hospital In January 27th, Wuhan central hospital was designated as a designated hospital for the treatment of fever So masks, protective clothing and medical staff are in an emergency Fortunately, masks, protective clothing, goggles and other products can be mobilized from all over the country and even the world in a short period of time However, novel coronavirus pneumonia is not a fast imaging method for the diagnosis of new crown pneumonia The average daily CT peak workload is over 1000 In order to cope with the rapid growth of imaging business, most radiologists at the front line work overtime and read films all night However, it is difficult for doctors to carry out quantitative analysis quickly and accurately only by reading the film with naked eyes, and the traditional method of manual measurement and evaluation is quite time-consuming The novel coronavirus novel coronavirus pneumonia diagnosis and treatment plan (trial version fifth) is the diagnostic criteria of the new national coronavirus infection (the trial version of the Second Edition) The suspected cases in Hubei province are defined as "clinical diagnosis cases", which is a positive affirmation of imaging diagnosis in the new crown pneumonia Behind this string of numbers, there are also countless hard work of Hubei imaging doctors As a partner of Wuhan Central Hospital, Shukun technology immediately organized R & D personnel to start work from the Spring Festival after learning the severity of the epidemic The novel coronavirus pneumonia novel coronavirus pneumonia diagnostic device was launched in early February in Wuhan Central Hospital, based on the long term cooperation with Wuhan central hospital After the product came out, the new intelligent diagnostic assistant product of the new crown pneumonia was launched in early February Ma Chune, CEO technology, said that the new diagnostic device of "SK" can quickly read the chest film, identify inflammatory lesions within 2-3 seconds, and locate and accurately locate the inflammatory lesions The infection area was delineated and the focus area was evaluated quantitatively This is helpful to guide a large number of patients to evaluate the condition as soon as possible and to make triage to assist clinical diagnosis In addition, the system also provides follow-up function, which can accurately compare the changes of focus, automatically provide visual evaluation reference for doctors, and help doctors to more accurately judge the changes of the condition Wang Xiang, director of the imaging department of Wuhan Central Hospital, said that Shukun AI system can improve the efficiency of doctors by 50%, and has a significant auxiliary effect on doctors at the front line of the epidemic In addition to Wuhan Central Hospital, the AI system was deployed and used in the people's Hospital of Wuhan University, Central South Hospital of Wuhan University and Wuhan hospital of traditional Chinese medicine at the beginning of February Shukun technology also donated the AI system to leishenshan hospital for public welfare, shortening the time for the hospital to screen patients' cases and allowing the diagnosed patients to be treated as soon as possible After the use of AI auxiliary diagnosis system products recognized by designated hospitals in Beijing in a region of Wuhan, Shukun technology looks for the best infectious disease hospitals in China for further verification In late January, novel coronavirus pneumonia was treated in Beijing, Beijing Ditan Hospital and Beijing fifth hospital center, and 20 hospitals in the PLA, which were designated as Beijing designated hospitals Beijing Ditan Hospital is a novel coronavirus pneumonia hospital in Beijing Seventeen years ago, "SARS" swept across the country, Ditan hospital became the main battlefield of Beijing's fight against SARS Seventeen years later, the battle began again Novel coronavirus pneumonia patients have been treated, screened and isolated since January 12th this year The first confirmed case in Beijing was admitted There are 5 wards novel coronavirus pneumonia The largest ward can hold 44 people Novel coronavirus pneumonia was reported in about 80 patients in the Ditan hospital as of February 11th The youngest patient was only 9 months old As the last "life-saving straw" for patients in China, the daily work of Beijing's hospital was saturated As the head designated hospital, the pressure of radiation Department of Beijing Ditan hospital and Beijing Youan Hospital can be imagined The novel coronavirus pneumonia AI product was used in Wuhan Central Hospital and the effect was recognized by doctors Youan Hospital and Ditan Hospital tested the products and passed the test immediately At present, the novel coronavirus pneumonia AI product has been used in you an hospital, Ditan hospital and Beijing Friendship Hospital, and has been approved by the first line radiologist In the future, it will be used in Beijing Xiaotangshan Hospital which will be restarted soon In February 23rd, novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development were held in Beijing The central authorities requested that Beijing should make every effort to prevent and control the epidemic situation in the two areas We must firmly grasp the main links of external defense and internal non-proliferation and strengthen joint prevention and control of Beijing Tianjin Hebei region, and cut off the source of infection as much as possible The deployment of novel coronavirus pneumonia AI products in Beijing will contribute to the prevention and control of Beijing's epidemic After the product is approved and the national laying is approved by the first-line hospitals and head hospitals, more hospitals across the country actively choose Shukun AI precise prevention and control At this time, although many people think that the epidemic has reached the turning point, as of February 20, 75465 confirmed cases have been reported nationwide, and 889 new cases have been reported on that day, so the pressure for prevention and control of the epidemic is still great Even after a period of time, the patient gradually recovered, still need to determine whether the patient recovered through the kit and imaging examination As a result, the marketing personnel of Shukun technology quickly contacted hospitals in Henan, Zhejiang, Chongqing and other places where the epidemic was more serious Within a few days, the product has been put into use in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Jinhua people's Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University and Pinggu District Hospital of Beijing More hospitals will install novel coronavirus pneumonia artificial intelligence diagnostic products in the future Experts believe that novel coronavirus pneumonia is novel coronavirus pneumonia, which is a chronic disease The AI diagnostic assistant product will continue to provide assistance for front-line medical staff The original intention of the birth of medical AI: since the outbreak of the epidemic, we have seen the tired and sick medical staff, and the mask left a deep mark on the faces of these doctors and nurses who rushed to the front line As long as they enter the quarantine area, they can't go out at will It's winter, but after a few hours of overload, everyone comes out of the isolation zone soaked in sweat Even the goggles are full of water drops, and the whole person is washed like water We see radiographers, wearing masks, goggles, and airtight protective clothing, enter the examination room to help patients put themselves in the position, contact patients at zero distance, and work for almost 24 hours without interruption, which is hard and tense In less than half an hour, the whole body will be soaked with sweat When studying the industry, the arterial network once thought of a triangle model of medical impossibility, that is, improving the quality of medical services, increasing the access to services, reducing medical costs and growth rates, three medical needs can not be realized simultaneously in a stable system The emergence of new technology will change the mode of activity, industrial structure and institutional arrangement The arrival of new technology will cause the expansion adjustment of price and production network in the economic system Artificial intelligence technology is a new technology to change this situation We return to the original intention of the birth of medical AI: to help doctors free themselves from repetitive labor and solve the problem of scarcity of high-quality medical resources in China, which is also its greatest clinical significance As director Wang Xiang of Wuhan Central Hospital thinks, since the outbreak, the number of patients has increased dramatically, which requires imaging doctors to process massive lung CT images more quickly and accurately, but it is difficult for general doctors to carry out quantitative analysis quickly and accurately only by naked eye reading, and the traditional method of manual measurement and evaluation is quite time-consuming Digital novel coronavirus pneumonia artificial intelligence auxiliary diagnostic products can be completed at the second level to achieve accurate quantitative analysis, and assist clinical more rapid and accurate judgement of the disease and curative effect evaluation Using AI + CT mode, we can guide a large number of patients to evaluate the condition and make triage as soon as possible, and assist in clinical diagnosis and treatment In addition, the system can accurately compare the changes of focus for doctors, automatically provide visual evaluation reference for doctors, meet the needs of rapid and accurate diagnosis in designated hospitals, and effectively save the working time of overloaded doctors, and seize more valuable diagnosis and treatment time for patients By February 19, 278 medical teams and 32395 medical personnel had been sent to Hubei Province to relieve the pressure of the epidemic The policy of "one province, one city" has moved the people to see that "one side is in need of support from all sides" In the medical field, in addition to the day and night work of medical staff in the front line, all kinds of medical enterprises have made every effort to make their own contribution to the fight against the epidemic Compared with the "SARS" in 2003, the anti epidemic war just over the past month
