Author:


On September 10, 2019, Baidu and People's Medical Publishing House (PWEI) officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The two parties will jointly build the most authoritative evidence-based medical knowledge system in China based on Baidu's leading and comprehensive artificial intelligence technology and PWEI's medical content and expert resources. And jointly promote CDSS (clinical assisted decision system) suitable for China's national conditions to continue to be implemented. In addition, the two sides will also carry out multi-dimensional and all-round cooperation in the production, dissemination and application of medical knowledge, and work together to improve China's primary medical services and promote a healthy life for all.


As an important part of ensuring people's livelihood, how to provide primary medical services professionally and efficiently has always attracted attention from all circles, among which, the improvement of primary doctors' ability is particularly critical. Only when the quality of primary medical care is widely and authoritative, can patients trust primary institutions more and a closed loop of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment can be finally formed. The key to improve the ability of doctors is to present standardized and standardized decision support information to doctors in the most effective way and at the most appropriate time in the clinical environment. On the one hand, it needs to be based on the core content knowledge base built on authoritative medical knowledge; on the other hand, it needs to combine artificial intelligence technology with clinical practice. Truly realize the efficient push of knowledge and clinical practical judgment.
After putting forward its AI development strategy, Baidu also pays special attention to AI empowerment in the medical industry. In 2018, Baidu established a smart medical department to empower grassroots medical care with artificial intelligence technology, and recently upgraded its AI medical brand as "Lingyi Zhihui". With the vision of "evidence-based AI empowers primary medical care", Spirit Medical Zhihui is committed to serving all scenes in and out of hospitals to help improve the ability of primary medical services. Among them, CDSS (Clinical Assisted Decision System) for doctors' ability improvement has been implemented in more than 1,000 medical institutions across the country and has been widely praised.
The two sides signed the strategic cooperation, relying on the People's Medical Publishing House's books, academic monographs, diagnosis and treatment guidelines, expert consensus, clinical cases and other massive authoritative medical knowledge content resources, and utilizing Baidu's leading artificial intelligence technology advantages such as natural language processing, semantic understanding, knowledge mapping, machine learning and deep learning. Medical content resources will be structured, labeled and clustered to jointly build the most authoritative evidence-based medical knowledge system in the medical industry, so that more grassroots medical staff can have more comprehensive and accurate medical information for reference and learning.
In addition, the two sides will leverage their respective advantages to develop CDSS (clinical decision aid System) suitable for China's national conditions through the integration of Baidu Brain AI technology and medical knowledge, to provide effective support for grassroots medical personnel.
On the one hand, the People's Medical Publishing House is the world Health Organization's only cooperation center for health information and publication, with high-quality and rich content resources, expert resources and user resources. On the other hand, as the leading goose in China's artificial intelligence, Baidu has comprehensive and advanced open technologies such as voice, image, natural language processing and knowledge graph, development service capabilities, and comprehensive solutions in the field of AI.
Hao Yang, chairman and Party secretary of the People's Medical Publishing House, said at the signing ceremony that Baidu is the world's largest Chinese-language search engine and the world's leading artificial intelligence company. The strategic cooperation between the two sides to build the most authoritative evidence-based medical knowledge system in the medical industry is of great infrastructural significance for implementing the strategic plan of "Healthy China 2030" and embracing the era of "comprehensive intelligent connection for health application". The "grassroots CDSS in line with China's national conditions" will also help to improve the efficiency and quality of grassroots medical treatment, and share the burden of third-grade first-class hospitals.
Huang Yan, general manager of Baidu Smart Medical and "Spirit Medical Zhihui", also publicly stated once again that the integration process of medical industry and AI technology will be bumpy, and building a car behind closed doors is by no means the spirit of the AI era. She hopes to jointly promote the application of AI in the medical and health field with an open and win-win attitude with partners. With a large publishing scale, high product quality and strong comprehensive strength, People's Health Society is a leading medical and health publishing and media enterprise in China and has important influence in the world. This time, the two sides will carry out close cooperation in medical knowledge construction, grassroots clinical auxiliary decision-making system construction and other aspects by combining medical professional ability and artificial intelligence technology, which will jointly contribute to the empowerment of China's medical treatment, especially the grassroots medical treatment.
People's Medical Publishing House and "Spirit Medicine Zhihui" have a broad consensus in the field of AI medical treatment. Based on artificial intelligence technology, the two sides will make joint efforts in multiple dimensions, through brand, project, market, channels and other aspects, to create a common brand, share intellectual property rights, cooperate on national topics, promote the dissemination of authoritative professional knowledge, actively expand the field of cooperation in AI medical, and spare no effort to promote the deepening and upgrading of cooperation. Bring beneficial exploration results to AI+ healthcare.
