Predicament of medical industry to be solved.

Medical resources are unevenly distributed. Chinese population accounts for 22% of the world population, with health resources only 2% of the world, and 80% of resources in metropolitan hospitals. Due to extremely uneven distribution of medical resources and great disparity between urban and rural medical services, major hospitals are overcrowded, while community hospitals are barely haunted.

Severity of information isolated island. As a complex health sector, more than 90% of our medical information system is not available for network due to lack of overall planning and project design, leading to severity of 'information isolated island' and 'information silo'.
It's very difficult, expensive and troublesome for residents to see doctors, accompanied by 'the serious problems of long lines of registration, awaiting diagnosis and charging, and short time of facing diagnose (three longs and one short)'. In addition, repetitive examining, indiscriminate use of antibiotics and frequent medical accidents cause obvious contradiction between doctors and patients and great burden on patients for medical expenses.

Smart healthcare is an important means of deepening medical health reform

Along with economic development and improvement of living standards, the demand for improving medical and health services is increasing. The deepening of medical and health system reform is put on the government agenda. The 'Deepening of Medical and Health System Reform and Implementation Plan in The 12th Five-Year Plan' issued by the State Council clearly puts forward that information technology shall be made as an important means to enhance the efficiency of medical institution management and service levels. The 'Decision of the CCCPC on Some Major Issues Concerning Comprehensively Deepening the Reform' issued by the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee points out that we shall deepen the medical and health reform, promote overall health care, medical services, public health and medicine supply etc, which embody the determination and confidence to continuously promote health care reform. Premier Li Keqiang clearly presented at the Second Session of the 12th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) that we shall accelerate and improve the basic health system, and constantly enhance the level of health care, to create a healthy China. Mao Qunan, president of National Publicity Department of Health and Family Planning Commission ( NHFPC) said recently that one of the key tasks of the Commission in 2015 is to comprehensively promote the medical and health system to develop in depth.

Amidst the introduction of a number of healthcare information policies and continuous deepening of medical reform, medical industry's strategic change is reflected in the transition of traditional medical management philosophy, from 'treatment-centric' to 'patient-centric', and of traditional medical-seeking pattern that will address the problems of 'difficult and expensive medical services, and three long and one short'. Smart healthcare is an important means to fully realize the above strategic change of medical industry.

Research results show that the information input of healthcare industry is up to 27.51 billion yuan in 2014, an increase of 22.5% versus 2013, in a rapid growth trend. Related research shows that, in 2014, electronic medical records system, mobile health, regional health care information platform, telemedicine and PACS system are the focus of information construction of medical industry with accelerated investment growth. In 2014, the move of state's effort on earnestly promoting the construction of electronic medical records undoubtedly drives the construction process. In the large and medium-sized hospitals, information construction center has been gradually transferred to the patient and clinical-centered digitalization. Major investment will be input to the establishment and application of PACS system, electronic medical record system(EMRS) and mobile healthcare.

New generation of information technology helps booming smart healthcare.

Rapid development of new generation of information technologies such as Internet of Things, mobile Internet, big data, and cloud computing etc provides a powerful technical support for smart healthcare. The medical material management can be visualized by collecting, processing, storing, transmitting and sharing of Internet of Things to medical, equipment, drug, personnel and management information, so as to effectively manage medical supplies and achieve medical safety. By using mobile communication technology, mobile healthcare can be widely used in medical institution management and clinical diagnosis, which will substantially increase service efficiency and optimize service processes and service models. By fully exploiting and using the value of information data, and vitalizing the existing data, big data technologies, application, evaluation and decision-making is conducted to serve for hospital management and decision making. While cloud computing provides a new model for storage of various medical data, the establishment of 'medical cloud' will break the 'information isolated island' to thoroughly achieve information resource share and system interoperability.

Annual pageant, an opportunity to achieve goals.

To promote the healthy and orderly development of China's smart healthcare industry, the '2016 China International Smart Healthcare Innovation Conference & Wearable Device and New Technology Exhibition' held in Shanghai on May 26-27, 2016 will invite industrial experts in domestic and abroad, and government leaders to carry out discussion for hot issues such as opportunities and challenges of China's smart healthcare market, Internet + healthcare future trends, new pattern of classification clinics, policy interpretation of physicians' multi-spot disciple, mobile healthcare investment opportunities in Internet + era, medical big data and innovative application of Internet of Things in smart healthcare. At the same time, 'China Smart Healthcare, wearable device and new technology exhibition' will be carried out to exhibit new technical results and excellent application solutions including advanced smart healthcare information system and equipment, Internet of Things application, hospital information system, statistical analysis software tools, medical networking, wearable medical devices, electronic medical records, and hospital information security etc.

In 2016, let's view the future trends of Internet + Chinese medical market in the new era!
