“Mobile Health” has become a strategic level “cross” industry
Asymptotic in the information society gradually Pro today, information technology will give us what surprise? "Mobile Health" may be one of them.
Recently, the reporter from Cambridge, England s "mobile health: current and future mobile medical applications network seminar was informed that" mobile health "has become the world s many efforts to develop national strategic level" cross "industry, is expected to change the traditional medical industry development.
"Mobile Health" change traditional medical industry
At present, the traditional medical industry in the world is facing increasing pressure even difficult to reverse, on the one hand, in developed countries, health care spending in the government s financial burden is increasing, such as the UK s welfare expenditures have accounted for 25.9% of GDP , which became one of the most important part of medical expenses; the other hand, due to the shortage of medical resources, imbalance, the public "difficult and expensive," hit the developing world has become a chronic illness. How to solve the problems of government, medical institutions, public problems, the medical industry to achieve sustainable development, global health care industry, a topic of common concern.
It is understood that this "mobile health" seminar was held in this context. In addition to the organizers to move outside of Cambridge and Oxford, Harvard and other universities as well as the world s leading GSM Association, the World Health Organization, British Telecom and other institutions, organizations and enterprises through the network connection to send experts to participate in the discussions, the study by the Sino-British "Mobile medical" research projects worldwide attention.
Reporters learned that the project was launched in October 2010, a comprehensive perspective to the global "mobile health" status and potential for application development, and on the "mobile health" of the future development of regulatory bodies, operators, medical institutions and other relevant actors make strategic recommendations. Former vice president of the University of Cambridge, Computer Laboratory, led by Professor Ian Leslie, which lasted more than four months to carry out a special research work, the interdisciplinary combination of expert resources University of Cambridge and China Mobile "mobile health" latest practice field, the final completion of the research report.
"Mobile Health" mainly refers to the use of mobile communication networks to enhance health care. In the application, the report combing the world s 128 most recent "mobile health" applications, covering primary care, public health research, emergency care, chronic disease management, self care, and improve the overall efficiency of the health system and other fields.
For example, through the smart phone to collect, store, analyze and upload vital signs, location, mood, environmental data such as temperature and pollution levels, doctors can be more convenient and timely manner to carry out medical research and disease surveillance; the use of sophisticated mobile network coverage in remote areas of health workers, professional training through the phone and remote support to improve the level of health care; wireless fall prevention devices to speed up the filter and gravity sensors connected with the mobile phone network to monitor the running status of the elderly, prevent, predict their The "fall"; even "mobile health" is also able to develop a specialized communication system for major natural disasters, disaster suffered by interactive communication, and enhance restore confidence, and so on.
In Tasmania, the Australian telecommunications to provide women with a breast cancer screening services through mobile broadband network to transfer the image file assessment center, so that women in remote areas can not travel long distances to get expert diagnosis.
In the UK, patients can use Vodafone s 3G mobile video consulting a doctor, by calling 3G video calls to your doctor, consulting fees pay only ￡ 35, you can enjoy the professional advisory services provided by physicians.
There for iPhone and iPod Touch fitness program designed to provide the software for different exercise methods, exercise different muscle groups, but also the development of health and fitness goals in the process of supervision. Another software designed specifically for the iPhone, you can use a variety of ways for smoking cessation.
The report also for policy makers recommendations, such as through financial incentives to promote "mobile health" applications of innovation, the "mobile health" application project assessment guidance, an appropriate balance between specific "mobile health" risks and benefits of the project application , and with the "mobile health"-related financial transactions and other small to take a more relaxed regulatory policies, and so on.
"Mobile Health" strategic opportunities emerging China
On Chinese society, the "mobile health" has a more realistic social significance – for the government, can enhance the social quality of the population, to strengthen public service capacity, reduce the "old before getting rich" of the stress; For the public You can get cheaper, more convenient primary care, enjoy better health care services; for hospitals, can ease the "doctor-patient conflicts" to reduce patient stress; for the information industry, you can broaden the range of applications, more better serve the community, achieve sustainable development.
It should be noted, "mobile medicine" is based on mobile communications, that "almost everywhere, to locate, connect with the user interface devices, personal, and provide low-cost computing power, sensors and integrated support for a range of mobility." . After years of rapid development, China s mobile network coverage level and the United States and Europe were flat or even slightly ahead, can the "mobile health" of seizing the strategic opportunity to promote its rapid development.
Currently, the domestic telecom companies have begun to "mobile health" field layout, and generate a lot of lack of good economic and social benefits of a typical application.
In Guizhou, Guizhou Province, with China Mobile to build the new rural cooperative medical information management system, covering the province s 42 counties, 371 towns and 1,428 medical institutions, the province s 10 million farmers do not realize the mountains to the reimbursement , "you can swipe the door to see a doctor." In this regard, the World Health Organization Director-General Margaret Chan commented: "This innovative tools that can build a rural health information development Guizhou mode in the country and around the world to promote the greater benefit of the people."
In Inner Mongolia, 12580 health navigation services, provides medical information and medical electronic check services; in Guangdong, make an appointment phone 12 580 registered customers, the phone can be used to pay registration fees, the receipt of two-dimensional code, self-service terminal brush to the hospital code to print registration certificates treatment; in Tianjin, Jiangsu and other places, the local hospital and mobile build a "patient communication" platform, integrated call centers, video visitation, mobile clinic and other functions; in Shanghai, patients with mobile phone call 120 for help, calling 120 phone system can be addressed immediately in 5 seconds to complete orientation, to the rescue of more timely patient … …
However, we should also clearly see that although China s "mobile medicine" field and achieved encouraging results, some typical applications to promote better, but still in its infancy, with the country s existing health system to further close collaboration combination, but also faces many difficulties. Meanwhile, in the "mobile health" building is still mainly rely on industry, business promotion, not the government, hospitals, mobile operators force , lead to real health care industry, core processes embedded in the application of information less than normal, limiting our "Mobile medical" industry standards.
Former Vice Chancellor University of Cambridge, Computer Laboratory, Professor Ian Leslie seminar with special emphasis on the network: " mobile medical most likely to usher in rapid development of emerging economies, and in the" mobile health "industry development, the mobile operators to provide universal service platform will play a crucial role. "
China s mobile medical prospects, worth the wait.

2013: China Healthcare IT market will exceed 16 billion yuan
In the near future, information on relief "see" the role will gradually appear.
Recently, after public comment and revise and improve the health reform program in Shanghai after the formal introduction. According to the Shanghai Health Bureau Jianguang introduced Shanghai s medical reform program to strengthen medical and health information technology is one key deployment.
According to him, next to Shanghai to manage the health of residents, to promote medical and health information sharing, and gradually achieve universal access to electronic health records, covering the city s health information network.
Shanghai healthcare reform as an important basis for one of five "health information network project" construction, focusing on building a unified standard of public electronic health records. Ministry of Health, health records in accordance with the basic architecture and data standards, the basic content of health records from the basic personal information and the main health service records of two parts.
It is understood that all the people of Shanghai electronic health records on the specific project goal is to complete the first half of this year, 6 districts and 24 large hospitals and health information technology projects to be completed by the end of 36 large hospitals, to cover the next year the city.
Since the establishment of resident health record is the work of medical and health information is an important part of CITIC industry analyst, told reporters in 2013, China s health care IT market will exceed $ 16 billion next year compound growth rate of more than 26 %, while the three-year regional health information technology investment is expected to achieve a compound growth rate of 45%.
Cloud computing: around the “3521 Project” Digital Health Initiative launched
If someone mentioned cutting-edge technology, cloud computing is probably deserved to hold the event, if someone asked what the most important, health is a top priority right. However, corresponding with the most important is that all kinds of half-truths of medical advertising, army blankets in front of the hospital late at night, because of attention, only highlights the urgency, the imperfections of the existing health care system, has led to many problems in our lives. So if we use its advanced technology in our most pressing livelihood issues, the so-called best steel blade.
The parties were preparing to go
With the new medical reform, "3521 Project" Digital Health plans to release medical information into a "second five" major program focus for 2020 formulated by the state each person access to basic health service level objectives to provide effective protection.
In 2010, the same seems to be "on the other side," whether it is international software vendors IBM, Oracle, or will some domestic software vendors have released their own at the end of the year when New Year s strategy, in which cloud computing, cloud services, some of the columns cloud-based technology to become everyone s darling.
Familiar with the industry to grasp the key
With the cloud computing industry, the release of the program, we found that telecommunications, logistics, coal and some other industries have begun to use some of the more or less slowly Cloud. However, with the people in the most closely related to the medical field, cloud computing is carried out quietly at the end of last year, due to their unique health care industry characteristics, industry effects pros and cons of half and half, we obviously have not found an appropriate starting point, that is, The so-called critical point. In the health industry, as a doctor, positioning and so clearly defined, but with the doctor s office division of the regional breakdown of the contrary, it faces the general public a wide range of patients, their mobility and complexity resulting from information silos and information bottlenecks to promote collaboration between medical institutions and poor, resulting in time delays, waste of resources and even more serious problem.
Perhaps it is because the importance of health care and sensitivity for people s livelihood, so when we deployed more cautious. Opportunities and challenges, in order to solve these problems, Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province, as a dare to eat the crab, the first to enter the field of medical and health information. Gradually try to Information reform, first of all start from within the hospital management, the equalization of public services, to achieve group-oriented, integrated management, building a mechanism to manage separate affairs separate, medical separation, separate profit and for-profit division of labor Finally the internal implementation of performance appraisal in the hospital. Overall aspects of medical care from health care to create a platform for interaction medicine three doctors, integrated summary of the information, true God shaped scattered lingers to allow hospitals to "community" changes.
Based on this demand, UF UAP-H solution is divided into two aspects of medical information, a regional health information platform, information platform within a hospital. UF medical and health information Xu Chunhua said, will focus on medical and health characteristics of the industry to build cloud-based platform solutions to meet business support to create the technology platform. Fully based on industry characteristics, will focus on the implementation of electronic medical records and electronic files in the collection, and other industries to establish an integrated platform for different applications.
Combination of both, hope Yields
Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province Health Bureau regional health information technology group leader, Zhenjiang City Health Secretary Lin Feng said it expects three years of efforts to build data sharing, data sharing, interoperability, secure and reliable platform for regional health information system. In order to gain a leading position in the country. For the development of health care provides good support for the benefit of the people.
In the new period, the medical information of the potential is very large, as to lead the growth of medical information specialist Professor Li Baoluo said that to make great efforts to take advantage of cloud computing technology to create an integrated application platform to address the complexity of the health sector, specificity, to create the next generation of health care systems work hard to bring new breakthroughs in China s medical information.
In the "five" background, "3521 Project" to carry out digital medical, cloud-based technology to build the country provinces and three linkage platform, fully interconnected data, simplify the medical treatment program for patients, for doctors detailed management steps for form a unified state management order, not only is our direction is the common people expectation.
Our health care system, “market” it?
At present, many people believe that our health care system has been "market" of the, and the area of ??health problems in the health care system due to the "market." So, our health care system in the end is not "market" out? In this regard, it is debated, but no clear answer. I believe that it is necessary to sort out this issue, because clearly the status of the system to determine, is the basis for further reform of institutional policy.
Smoke and mirrors
Many experts say that at home and abroad, the Chinese medical and health fields currently existing problems are solved because the "market" caused.
Back in 2003, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, one scholar has written that the reason why China s public health situation deteriorated, "but the main reason is probably connected with us in a vague general idea of ??reform there are two kinds of superstitions about – one is the superstition of economic growth; the other is blind faith in market. "According to his words," the 1990s after the establishment of a market economy was established as the objectives of the reform, medical and health gradually to the market ", while the final result," China s the area of ??health is probably the world s most market-oriented one of the areas. "
2005, issued by a related group of special research report, China since the reforms, "the basic medical and health system change to a commercial, market-oriented" and its negative consequences, "mainly for the decline in medical services and health equity investment macro-inefficient ", and" root of the problem in the commercial, market-oriented direction of the development contrary to the basic medical and health law. "
In the same year, a Peking University s China Center for Economic Research Scholars also published an article pointed out that China s rapid economic growth "is not directly brought about the improvement of people s health", and the increase in investment conditions, "the worse the performance of health care." The scholars believe that "The main reason is state failure and market failure the Government in the reform process in the development of health care there is no clear direction and goals, blindly health care market."
These indicate that several aspects of Chinese medical and health experts have reached a high degree of status consensus, which is the reform and opening up, China s status of health care system has been completely "market." In view of these scholars, because the special nature of health care, resulting in market-oriented health reform route is bound to fail.
Many issues involved here, but in order to clarify the crux, we should first understand our health care system in the end is not completely "market."
Odds with the fact that
For many people, our health care has entered the market-oriented way is a self-evident reality. Is not it? Now people are to spend their own money to see a doctor (whether direct dig individual pockets to pay, or by social security or tax pays for); a number of public and private hospitals not only "Mo money come in sick", but also the use of information and technology dominance, induced Patients see a doctor to spend more money – such and such a buy, a sell, not the market? Sale of medical services so common, is not "market" what is it?
National health care spending for high-speed increase, is it not the "market" to blame?
However, the capacity of the author to ask, when a lot of purchasing power concentrated in health services, when the supply of medical and public health aspects of what has made a response? Is not difficult to answer this question, of course, is the result of the first hospitals and health services of people engaged in "hair", and overtly or covertly income rolling. So, when the demand for medical institutions and practitioners focused on the growth momentum in the next highly profitable market, the phenomenon of what is destined to come one after another?
If this is conclusive experts chisel words "market" and highly profitable practice, once the news came Daihatsu, stop the world heroes determined to "Breaking and Entering" – set up more hospitals and clinics, mobilize more people to study medicine, adding more health services – until the line of business practice of "excess profits" is averaging down.
This means that, if there really "market" in this world, practice and made their fortunes is the first reaction is to mobilize more resources into the second reaction is inevitable. It is clear that the former is the growth in demand caused by changes in income distribution, which is the re-allocation of resources with the price mechanism.
However, I survey found that: 1. People health
The increase in health costs and expenses, a few times even 100 times higher than the increase in clinic visits, thus the cost of each treatment increased rapidly – "expensive" is also; 2 each medical institutions as well as each health care , the average gain should be in service revenues have been significantly increased; 3 Overall productivity of our health services have not improved (although in different hospitals, there are significant differences between); 4 is the most important people a lot of money on health services, to stimulate the supply side, there s no corresponding increase in resource mobilization.
Where seen in this and other "market" mean?
Realistic
Since reform and opening up, Chinese people s daily life use, has undergone great changes. In general, everything from the shortage of hard times into the product an adequate supply of services to improve quickly, inexpensive things flooding the market, which tracks the most basic, is that once concentrated demand, the seller made their fortunes, and soon attracted a large number of "backward elements" to invest in factories set up shop, switch to mobilize human, technical management study, and soon form a production capacity of providers to, and then each of its plan, bargain or competition, or innovation of the strange, until the same has the same products and services into the homes of ordinary people.
It is these horizontal experience, the "Chinese health care market" theory has flaws. Again, I want to debate the question is not "market" is good, this should not, but whether the Chinese health care is not already "market." Some experts, government funding accounts for the decline in the proportion of total health expenditure, as health care "market" basis. I believe that it ignores the question: government spending to reduce the proportion of health costs at the same time, there is no access to health services on the door? Another expert said, "various types of capital can enter the field of medical services, basically there is no entry and exit restrictions, the new layout, and services medical institutions targeting depends on market demand conditions." If they are right, why the medical and public health needs to increase so rapidly, the average charges for medical services a few times, a hundred times improved, but did not stimulate the country s medical institutions and a corresponding increase in the number of staff?
Of course, I have no intention to "market" of a unified concept, after all, each on their own which can justify a definition. But I think it is important to pay attention to a real problem, which is China s medical and public health systems, with demand high in the case, why is the ability to mobilize resources to increase the supply so low? I believe that, regardless of what we have argued that this problem is not resolved, to improve health services in China s policy objectives, if not castles in the air, so it is also certain difficulties.
Successful development of new rapid hemostatic
.jpg "Roll welding bag")
According to the \"nano medical journal,\" a recent article, said Massachusetts Institute of Technology (mit) and the University of Hong Kong (hku) researchers recently found that within a few seconds to stop bleeding in the biodegradation of liquid.
It is understood that the liquid mainly by the protein fragments – peptides composition, when applied to open wounds, the peptides can self-aggregation into a protective gel, wound healing and hemostasis. Once the wound healing, non-toxic gel into self-degradation of amino acids for tissue repair.
The researchers will polypeptide in rodent wound fluid for a variety of tissues – brain, liver, skin, spine, and small intestine, they said, in almost every organization, this liquid can quickly stop the bleeding. But also for the surgical treatment, such as battlefield surgery. Moreover, the material can be used to wet conditions, will not cause the animal immune response.
However, at present the drug to stop bleeding is unclear.
Proton therapy system the most advanced equipment to treat cancer
According to foreign reports recently, proton cancer technology is the world\\ s most advanced radiation treatment field technology, cell damage to human health is small, is important for the treatment of human tissues and organs surrounding the tumor You Youming significant advantage.
Reported that, with the traditional X-ray radiation is different is that in the treatment, the use of high-energy proton accelerator proton beam speed, penetrating power, the energy release of a Bragg peak, which would make it across the way on release very little energy, only when reaching the cancer lesion energy is released, normal tissue of the human impact of small, man-made automation technology can be used both to control their energy release in the direction, location and range, the current efficacy of the best, the least side effects of radiation therapy.
Proton therapy system is the world\\ s most expensive large medical equipment. Currently, only a few countries worldwide have proton therapy equipment. American Cancer Treatment Center University of Texas $ 125 million investment in the establishment of Proton Therapy Center 3500 annual treat lung cancer, prostate cancer, head and neck cancer and eye cancer.
Proton therapy for lung cancer, liver cancer, prostate cancer, chordoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, uterine tumors, esophageal cancer, lymphoma, cancer and other common eye cancer. In addition, due to proton therapy to pinpoint the location of cancer cells, so the advances in diagnostic imaging technology has great significance for its efficacy.

Growth in demand for medical equipment, home health care is changing lives
Advanced semiconductor technology makes medical devices get smaller and more powerful, or even home use. For patients, this means that medical care more convenient, outpatient visits less and less, getting lower and lower medical costs. However, to use at home, medical equipment must be simple, safe, and can even withstand misuse, and can distinguish between right and wrong results the results of the program.
As the aging population, home health care equipment demand expansion. According to WHO data, the population over the age of 60 in 2006 reached 650 million, is expected by 2025 this figure will reach 1.2 billion. Currently focused on semiconductor development areas of home entertainment and communications and handheld consumer electronic devices.
This type of design experience and even some of the devices on the new generation of home health care equipment, the implementation is useful. When the technology level and high-performance instrumentation with sensors and data acquisition devices, the final product can be built into the medical-grade system, and easily deployed in the home. Precise and reliable, high-performance semiconductor products include sensors, amplifiers and data converters, which is used to extract precision and digital signal; and embedded processors, used to perform complex analysis of signal acquisition.
? Sensor
Current diagnostic measurement system is based on integrated solutions and monitoring specific targets related to the clinical material. Measurement system consists of a detection layer, used to identify the target material, and generates biochemical signals measured by the sensor. An example of this technique is the blood glucose testing. Glucose test strips on the enzyme selectively converts glucose measurable substance. This process, the resulting electronic and proportional to glucose levels.
These electrons can be used to measure based on current meter. Silicon capacitive sensors including digital converter, digital converter impedance, LED-based photonic systems, photodiodes, MEMS-based motion sensor (for measuring acceleration, gravity and tilt) and the gyro sensor for detecting rotation.
? Data converters
The signal processing module often used in conjunction with high-precision amplifier can drive the sensor and the digital conversion. ADC and other products can achieve low power, high accuracy system. Successive approximation register (SAR) and the Σ-Δ converter is required for the resolution of these systems and the measurement signal bandwidth.
? Embedded processing and wireless communication
Want in the clinical environment to provide a compact, battery-powered medical diagnostic and monitoring applications that require high performance, low power, low cost and secure embedded processing. Embedded processor analyzes the collected signal, first verify the quality and signals into the medical information available, and then format the results can be passed to the patients, while the control device.
Processor can also be used to manage wireless (or wired) connection to the patient data to physicians. Not difficult to imagine, you can design a watch-type device, a non-invasive ways to monitor vital signs. For developers who want the lowest system cost and power consumption based on the improved performance, consider the integration of DSP and microcontroller, such as ADI\\ s Blackfin. ADI\\ s recently launched radio SoC combines data conversion, RF and 32-bit processing power, providing power-efficient wireless connections.
Ideal for high noise environments must be quickly capture, measurement, and send data, but not allowed to consume a lot of battery power medical applications. For example, patients wear a wireless Holter or telemetry monitor must be very small, able to work long-term low-power battery-dependent, and have a high enough level of performance that can continuously transmit the patient\\ s vital signs. ADuCRF101 support these applications, but also in the care of patients outside the hospital environment.
Existing home health care equipment
Examples of home healthcare equipment are: Night lung monitor Wholter, personal asthma assessment equipment Wheezometer, two products developed by Israel Karmelsonix. Wholter and Wheezometer meet the world\\ s 48 million asthma needs assessment and control of disease, but only by the patient before surgery or hospital to get treatment.
Must be immediately effective and accurate assessment of asthma, in order to provide the basis for appropriate medical measures. In the past, only the hospital or operating room of the spirometer before has such a high reliability. To the medical technology transfer from the hospital to home, Karmelsonix ADI\\ s BlackfinDSP and other precision signal processing devices, to ensure that asthma patients have access to accurate and reliable \"breathing rate\" (an important indicator of an asthma attack) assessment information.
