Will medical treatment be the new battlefield for next-generation information technology?
The rapid development of aging has created tremendous pressure on the medical industry . China is entering an aging society. As of 2012, the number of elderly people in China has reached 194 million, and the aging level has reached 14.3%. It is expected that the number of elderly people will exceed 200 million in 2013, reaching 202 million, and the aging level will reach 14.8%. According to the National Committee on Aging, the number of elderly patients in China will increase from 1.24 billion to 3.35 billion from 2010 to 2050.
Chronic diseases are high and medical needs continue to increase. In May 2012, 15 departments of the United Nations Department of the Ministry of Health issued the "China Chronic Disease Prevention and Control Work Plan (2012-2015)", pointing out that with the acceleration of industrialization, urbanization and aging, the number of chronic diseases in China has increased rapidly, and the existing diagnosed patients 260 million people have become a major public health problem. The chronic disease has a long course, a wide epidemic, and high cost. The mortality rate accounts for 85% of the total mortality rate in China, and the disease burden has accounted for 70% of the total disease burden. Faced with the rising trend of chronic diseases in China, people's demand for medical care continues to increase.
However, in the face of increasing medical needs, the distribution of medical resources in China is uneven, and the contradiction of insufficient resources is difficult to change in the short term. How to meet the medical needs of people under the existing resource allocation has become an important issue before us. Further deepening the reform of the medical and health system has become an inevitable way to solve this problem, and medical informationization construction is an important means and support for reform.
With the support of medical demand and policy support, with the development of information technology, the application of new generation information technology such as Internet of Things , cloud computing and mobile Internet in the medical field has gradually come to the forefront, and more and more medical institutions have begun to pay attention. Deploy a new generation of information technology.
First, medical care allows medical supplies to "speak"
As early as 2004, the Internet of Things technology was applied to the medical industry. At that time, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) adopted a large number of actions to promote the implementation and promotion of RFID. Relevant government agencies passed legislation to regulate the transportation, sales and anti-counterfeiting of RFID technology. Track the application in the system. In recent years, the United States, the European Union, and Japan have increased their investment in the application of the Internet of Things in the medical industry. In the US$787 billion "Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Law," the IoT technology development policy is encouraged to be promoted in the three major areas including medical care. The application of Internet of Things technology in the field; the European Union launched the “Internet of Things Strategy Research Roadmap†to promote the application of the Internet of Things in major fields such as medical and aerospace. At present, EU member states have begun to use Internet of Things technology in drug circulation management; Japan The "I-Japan Strategy 2015" was proposed, in which the medical Internet of Things is the focus. In 2012, China completed the preparation of the “RFID and Internet of Things Development Plan for Health Sectorâ€, which plans to clarify the future investment and overall scale of IoT development in the health sector, and vigorously promote the application of Internet of Things technology in the health field.
The attention and promotion of IoT technology in the medical industry by various countries has stimulated ICT manufacturers to invest in the medical Internet of Things. Semiconductor manufacturers such as Philips, Siemens, ST, TI have basically monopolized the RFID chip market; IBM, HP, Microsoft, SAP, Sybase, Sun and other international giants have seized the favorable position of RFID middleware and system integration; Alien, Intermec, Symbol, Companies such as Transcore and Impinj offer RFID tags, antennas, readers and other products and equipment.
China's medical demand is strong, and the medical market is vast. The leading enterprises in the ICT field are paying more attention to the Chinese medical market in the application of Internet of Things technology. They have deployed medical Internet of Things in China to seize the opportunity of medical Internet of Things.
