Smart Healthcare Industry of TEDA Accelerates Development

On September 27, the third Beijing-Tianjin Smart Healthcare Innovation Forum was hosted by Tianjin International Joint Academy of Biomedicine, Binhai New Area Science and Technology Association, Chinese Society of Biomedical Engineering, 4Paradigm, Tianyun Data, and College of Pharmacy, Nankai University was held in TEDA. At the forum, the participants conducted in-depth exchanges on topics such as the application and development of artificial intelligence technology in the medical and health industry. During the event, it was learned that TEDA was actively responding to the national development strategy, embracing technological innovation, and taking the lead in promoting the integrated development of artificial intelligence and biomedicine industry, so as to drive the sustainable and rapid development of the regional biomedical industry and create a new industrial ecology.

This year, the worldwide COVID-19 epidemic has made healthcare innovation, a hot topic that had already been in the frontier field, become a highlight industry that many countries urgently invest in. The many challenges faced by the medical field and the unmet patient demands need urgently to be solved through innovative therapies and solutions. In the face of the epidemic, smart healthcare has made unprecedented contributions to the fight against the epidemic by taking advantage of 5G, AI and other technologies. The outbreak of the epidemic is accelerating the digital and intelligent transformation of all links in the medical industrial chain. The new business formats of smart healthcare represented by AI prediction / screening / aided diagnosis / drug development / suspected patients tracking, mobile medicine, Internet medicine, and medical robots are showing their strength and huge market potential.

In this upsurge of development, enterprises in TEDA are also grasping opportunities, giving full play to their technological advantages, and help to achieve rapid diagnosis, remote medical treatment, and remote office/learning using big data, AI, 5G, cloud computing and other technical services. At the site of the event, many companies from Binhai New Area also brought their own smart healthcare products.

An integrated device of iris recognition and body temperature measurement and a high-security intelligent recognition management platform developed by Tianjin Zhongke IriStar Technology Co., Ltd., an enterprise from Binhai New Area, attracted attention on the spot. According to relevant in-charge person of the company, during the epidemic, Zhongke IriStar urgently initiated the development of epidemic prevention and control rapid deployment equipment for emergency personnel based on non-contact biometric fusion recognition technology and research on related application integration technologies. Even in the rigorous conditions where many people wear masks, protective clothing, hats, goggles, gloves and other equipment so that most of the biological characteristics of the human body are covered, the device can still measure body temperature and finally form complete and comprehensive big data base for timely monitoring of the overall health status of the controlled personnel and timely data analysis.

Kangbote (Tianjin) Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. introduced an intelligent medical composite robot on the spot. It is learned that the robot is mainly composed of active navigation base, collaborative robot, vision system, temperature measurement system, and intercom system, and can collect the patient data such as pulse, blood pressure, body temperature, and blood oxygen content. It can replace medical staff in a variety of daily repetitive tasks, and avoid contact between medical staff and patients or their samples to be tested, so that the risk of infection can be reduced and the diagnosis and treatment effects and the safety of medical staff can be effectively guaranteed.

In addition, Tianjin Lemon Tree Home Care Information Service Center, Orange Family Technology (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., and PPHC (Tianjin) Precision Medical Technology Co., Ltd. have also brought their own smart healthcare products to pour into the smart healthcare market.

As the venue of this forum, Tianjin International Joint Academy of Biomedicine is actively promoting the construction of new platforms for smart healthcare. According to Huang Yalou, secretary of the Party committee of the Academy, the EEG application platform in the artificial intelligence platforms for medicine and medical technology innovation currently being built by the Academy has basically taken shape, and they have begun to develop relevant applications, showing the accelerated development of intelligent medicine.
