Medical Devices Welcome to the Age of Digital Interconnected Health

The business club reported on May 3 that there is a possibility that all kinds of home medical devices that can be connected become the necessary new "home appliances" in people's homes;

Is there a system through which doctors and nurses can move rounds and move care;

Is there a device that allows basic doctors to carry it with them and carry out multiple tests for patients in remote mountain areas and rural areas?

Is there a platform that eventually collects information from clinics, hospitals, and villages in a timely, accurate, and independent way for personal health management?

On April 17th, at the “China Continua Health Alliance Forum 2011” organized by the China Medical Equipment Association at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center, clinical, medical device, IT, and other experts worked hard to tell the audience about the fact that digital interconnection The era of health is coming towards us.

New "home furniture"

“The biggest feature of China’s demographic change is that it is not rich before it becomes old.” Zhang Song, an associate researcher at the School of Life Sciences and Bioengineering at Beijing University of Technology, said that according to the 2009 Statistical Communiqué on the Development of China's Aging Careers, the country’s senior citizens aged 60 and above reached 1.67. Billion people, 12.5% ​​of the total population. By the middle of this century, one-third of China’s population will be elderly people. The rapid aging of the population has become a strong driving force for medical device portability and home use. “In recent years, household sphygmomanometers, household cholesterol detectors, home suffocation emergency evacuators, home oxygen generators, home low frequency therapeutic devices, home pregnancy detection kits, home care beds, home senile dementia testing systems, household medication administers and other families The research and development of medical devices has developed rapidly," Zhang Song told reporters.

In addition, manufacturers continue to improve the technical level of home medical devices, while also trying to make it more suitable for home design, such as electronic thermometers can serve as a clock, calendar and flashlight. According to the Trends of China's Medical Equipment Allocation and Development in 2010, home medical devices with good performance, ease of use, and interoperability will become new home appliances and new furniture in the home.

Smart "helper"

The new medical reform policy has increased support for grassroots medical institutions. To improve the level of diagnosis and treatment in basic medical institutions, we need to start with equipment, technology, and medicine.

The Department of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Science and Technology's “Support Program for the Twelfth Five-Year Plan” expert responsible for the ultrasound of medical devices and the chairman of the China Society of Ultrasonic Medical Engineering, Wei Xing, told reporters that rural clinics now lack smart, simple, and rapid diagnostic instruments, and their counterparts with these devices. software. Because the level of diagnosis and treatment at the primary level is not very high, the raw data collected by the equipment is processed through software and some smart tips are given, which is more conducive to the in-depth diagnosis of the primary doctors.

In addition, Iridium said that there are more and more medical equipment applications that can quickly resolve bedside diagnostics in the world, and various rapid and qualitative and non-quantitative small instruments are rapidly developed. With the increase of government support for private hospitals and primary health care institutions, the demand for convenient and inexpensive mid- and low-end bedside diagnostic instruments will increase. At present, the foreign ultrasound “giant” has begun to pay attention to the middle and low-end medical equipment market in China, and the full-scale battle for market has been opened, and domestic enterprises cannot take it lightly.

"4S" Medical

"There are hundreds of test parameters, and no one doctor dares to ensure that they can accurately remember so much data." Zhao Rui, director of the medical division of the company, has been very impressed with the words of a director of a department in the top three hospitals.

Zhao Rui analyzed that at present, clinical staff at large domestic hospitals are busy with daily tasks. However, existing hospital information collection sites do not extend to the wards and can not achieve mobile office. Medical staff still need to ask questions while they are in the ward, and then go back to the workstation to transcribe the information once. This causes a waste of manpower, time, and errors.

“The existing hospital information collection system lacks effective “last 10 meters” of information support.” Zhao Rui’s “last 10 meters” refers to the distance from the doctor/nurse workstation to the bedside of the patient. "If the doctor walks to the bedside of the patient, he can easily access the patient information and interact with the patient. This will make the patient feel more valued. At the same time, the doctor does not have to remember so many parameters and information at once."

Surveys show that at present, the actual needs of medical staff are mobile rounds, access and transmission of patient information, etc., anytime and anywhere. The main desire of hospital administrators is to eliminate medical errors, improve work efficiency, and increase patient satisfaction with medical services. Zhao Rui understands that patient-centered, mobile terminals are used as carriers, wireless networks, and corresponding software for mobile medical systems can meet these requirements. At the same time, this system can also be used for hospitalized asset management, mobile ordering and other personalized services, so as to achieve the "4S" that doctors, nurses, patients, hospital administrators are satisfied with (Note: S is the English initials satisfied , Satisfaction) service.

Information "seamless"

With a mobile medical system, portable medical equipment, and a variety of home appliances... Disease control will gradually move from hospitals to communities and families. This is a change in the concept of medical services, which can greatly reduce medical expenses. . However, how to make all parties' information safe, accurate, fast and independent to collect and transmit to medical personnel? Realizing the seamless connection and information sharing between various terminals and various medical systems is the key to achieving this.

Zhao Zilin, executive vice president of the China Medical Equipment Association, said that in order to establish an interoperable digital medical solution to help individuals or institutions better manage their personal health and maintain continuity, the Association of People's Republic of China and many other countries on August 20, 2010 Home Medical Technology Corporation established the China Continua Health Alliance in Beijing. At present, China Continua focuses on three areas: sub-health and chronic disease management, monitoring of elderly health and nursing needs, and prospective health screening. The alliance will establish communication protocol standards between home medical equipment and informatization equipment, verify and promote relevant communication protocol standards, establish an industry alliance for personal health management, and coordinate and promote the development of personal health management among United Nations alliance members to help domestic alliances. Members create personal health management services with regional characteristics.
