Analysis of the development of medical AI in 2017 giants

In 2017, the development of medical artificial intelligence was rapid. More than 28 startup companies received financing, totaling more than 1.7 billion yuan. The traditional Internet giants with strong artificial intelligence talents and technology reserves also laid out medical artificial intelligence.

After Tencent released its photographic products and was selected as the "national team" of artificial intelligence, the medical industry is booming.

Alibaba Cloud released the ET medical brain, relying on the advantages of cloud computing and AI technology, and has made breakthroughs in data processing, intelligent medical imaging, speech recognition and other fields.

Baidu shouted the slogan of "All In AI", but Baidu had already abolished the medical department and fully beat the automatic driving. Little was heard in the medical AI circle.

The University of Science and Technology flies to catch up with the artificial intelligence, the market value of over 100 billion. Keda Xunfei has a solid foothold in the medical field. It has cooperated with Anhui Provincial Hospital to build the country's first smart hospital, and Tsinghua University has developed a robot that has passed the medical test.

In addition to intelligent voice technology, Xunfei Medical has also launched an image-assisted diagnostic system and a smart assistant, which is highly competitive in the industry.

Jingdong seems to have nothing to do with medical AI, but it has strengthened its layout in the field of science and technology by investing in the intelligence of HKUST.

Tencent Yingying enters the hospital as part of “Internet + Smart Health”

In the article on the arterial network, "The ambition of Tencent Yingying to seize the medical AI market is now, nearly 100 cooperative medical institutions, the industry competition is accelerating" mentioned that Tencent’s film release is less than half a year, and the cooperative medical institutions Already close to a hundred.

The reason behind this is not only the medical AI technology and the advantages of the product itself, but also the first batch of national new generation artificial intelligence open innovation platform list. The complete medical service capability such as WeChat medical insurance payment, commercial insurance and WeChat online medical consultation is also its rapid expansion. s reason.

As a service product such as WeChat medical insurance payment, Tencent Pictures, as part of Tencent's “Internet + Smart Healthcare” ecosystem, is often accompanied by the “Internet + Smart Medical” product line.

In addition, many senior executives of Tencent Yingying emphasized on different occasions that the current business of Tencent's products is to conduct screening of diseases and provide more decision-making information for doctors.

According to the newly revised "Medical Device Classification Catalogue", if only the decision information is given without giving a diagnosis result, only the second type of device certification is required, which will greatly reduce the threshold for entering the hospital.

Ali values ​​basic technology, data and talent to provide an open platform for the industry

Different from the development idea of ​​the large-area hospital in Tencent, the reporter of the arterial network barely found the information of Alibaba Cloud ET Medical Brain Hospital.

Tang Chao, general manager of Alibaba Cloud Medical Division, said: "Alibaba Cloud's thinking in the artificial intelligence boom in the healthcare industry is that we need to pay more attention to infrastructure and talent."

Therefore, Alibaba Cloud held the Tianchi Competition, which has involved more than 100,000 developers in 73 countries and regions, covering 2,763 research institutes, providing a good platform for Ali to reserve big data and artificial intelligence talents.

In terms of infrastructure, Alibaba Cloud has built an open platform for ET medical brains, working with eco-partners to focus on the artificialization of artificial intelligence in the medical field.

Alibaba Cloud hopes to provide developers and companies with the basic support for the entire model from training to release. Let all developers and businesses publish their models quickly and cost-effectively. And through the open platform, find a real business landing scene for them.

Ali also has a distinct advantage in data. As a leading cloud computing company in China, Alibaba Cloud's medical information platform has accumulated a large amount of past data, including medical service clinical, inspection, physical examination and other data. Alibaba hopes to help hospitals to achieve unified data storage on a unified platform. These data are the cornerstone of medical AI product development.

Tang Chao also said that Ali is doing the connection. The development of the Internet has made people's connections mature. But the connection between people and machines, the connection between machines and machines is still in its infancy. For the connection of man and machine, Ali hopes to provide a core unified connectivity. The connection of the entire industry eco-partner is also an important role for Alibaba Cloud as a technology enabling platform.

As can be seen from the services provided by Alibaba Cloud, providing the entire model for developers and enterprises from training to release is an important service content.

Xunfei Medical: three major products + one platform

If you compare the overall strength of the company, there is still a big gap between the University of Science and Technology and Tencent and Ali. However, in the field of medical artificial intelligence, Xunfei has the strength to compete with Tencent and Ali.

There are three main AI products of Xunfei Medical: voice electronic medical record products, image-assisted diagnosis system, and intellectual assistants.

Using artificial intelligence speech recognition, natural language understanding technology, combined with professional-grade directional microphone, the recognition accuracy, noise reduction level and endurance of voice electronic medical record products meet the requirements of doctors.

Tao Xiaodong, the head of Xunfei Medical, was the chief architect of Philips Medical Radiation Solutions. He has been engaged in medical imaging research for a long time. His participation has enabled Xunfei to achieve rapid development in the field of medical imaging. At present, its imaging products have been clinically verified.

In the year, the University of Science and Technology and Tsinghua University jointly developed the “Intelligence Assistant” to pass the national written examination for the qualification examination of medical practitioners. This laid the position of Xunfei in assisting diagnostic robots. If the “Smart Doctor Assistant” obtains citizenship like the robot Sophia, and participates in and passes the National Physician Qualification Examination Practice Skills Test, is that a real doctor?

Based on these three products, Keda Xunfei has built an artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis and treatment platform to provide artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis and treatment for large hospitals, grassroots hospitals, medical institutions and primary medical institutions.

In addition, Xunfei is also building a smart hospital with medical institutions. On August 20, 2017, HKUST and Anhui Provincial Hospital announced the establishment of the country's first smart hospital. The Wisdom Hospital consists of three parts: wisdom, medical treatment, wisdom treatment, and wisdom management.

Services include Internet registration, appointments, referrals, assisted treatment, and in-hospital management.

Compared with Tencent and Ali, Xunfei Medical's medical AI products have been polished for a long time in medical treatment. The diseases involved include lung cancer and Alzheimer's disease in addition to lung diseases. In addition, Xunfei Medical has invested a lot in the genetic field.

Baidu is gradually disappearing in the medical field

In the year, Baidu Medical Division abolished and permanently closed the “Baidu Doctor”, which marked Baidu’s withdrawal from mobile medical care. But Baidu medical brain based on artificial intelligence technology is still playing a role.

As the specific application of Baidu brain in the medical field, Baidu Medical Brain carries out artificial intelligence product design through mass medical data and professional literature collection and analysis, simulates the doctor consultation process, and communicates with users. According to the user's symptoms, repeated verification, give the final recommendation. In the process, the patient's symptom descriptions can be collected, summarized, classified, and sorted to remind the doctor of more possibilities and assist the primary doctor to complete the consultation.

In April of this year, Baidu Medical Brain announced that it will cooperate with the domestic community medical service leader community 580, empowering the artificial intelligence to the medical community, and launching the “Mei Le Medical” to provide users with 24-hour medical consultation services. The signing cooperation between Baidu Medical Brain and Community 580 will inject the “technical brain” of artificial intelligence into the graded medical care.

Since then, Baidu is completely providing technical services. It is not clear whether there will be any medical artificial intelligence products released by Baidu.

The positioning is different, the service is always similar

Analysis of the development of medical AI in 2017 giants

Since Baidu does not have medical artificial intelligence products, we only compare the products of Tencent, Ali and Xunfei.

They all have deep accumulations in natural language processing, computer vision, machine learning, speech recognition and other technologies. After they are applied to the medical field, their respective development paths are different.

Although all three companies have developed specific medical artificial intelligence products, but now, Tencent and Xunfei Medical have built their own products in the form of “smart hospitals” with hospitals. Alibaba Cloud mainly provides technology platforms to startup companies. Most of the other startups cut into the specific departments of the hospital with a single product.

The content of the service is different, resulting in different objects of contact. Xunfei Medical and Tencent generally contact the president of the hospital or the officials of the Health Planning Commission. Ali is mainly exposed to entrepreneurs, (Ali's smart imaging products and smart voice products are also in contact with hospitals), and other startups are contact directors or academic leaders. In terms of landing hospitals, Tencent and Xunfei Medical have certain advantages.

At present, Tencent and Xunfei Medical seem to be easier to land on the premise that there is no standard in the industry, but competition between similar services is inevitable, and it is necessary to match channels and product quality.

Ali is on a different path, concentrating on cultivating talents, developing technology, and leveraging its platform to serve companies.
