"Just as WeChat has largely replaced text messaging and mobile phones have largely replaced computers, in the future, medicine will also be replaced, not iterated." This is the change that digital medicine will bring. "Today, the Institute of Digital Medicine of Shanghai Jiao Tong University was established. Ning Guang, dean of the research institute, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and president of Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, said so. "Medicine is an applied discipline, and after the development of any other discipline has truly matured, human beings will definitely prefer to use it for medicine, because the public's pursuit of health is endless." What we want to study is how to provide more perfect and more acceptable ideas, technologies, products, services to medicine, and services to the people. ”
With the updating and iteration of 5G, artificial intelligence and other technologies, digital technology has entered all aspects of public life, and the concept of "digital medicine" came into being. Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine and its affiliated hospitals actively respond to the new policies of the state and Shanghai Municipality on digital transformation and development, and continue to exert efforts in the field of digital medicine and hospital informatization. It is reported that the institute will be in line with the construction concept of "small center, large network", around the construction of "five major centers" - digital medical research center, digital public health research center, digital medicine research center, digital medicine transformation center, regulatory scientific research center, to create a first-class digital medical science and technology innovation research highland and industrial application transformation base, to cultivate first-class digital medicine composite leading talents with innovative thinking and international competitiveness, to help the high-quality development of Shanghai's biomedical and health industry.
At present, the institute has welcomed a number of top experts to join: in addition to Ning Guang as the president, Yang Shengli, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, is the director of the academic committee of the institute, Wang Hui, president of the School of Public Health of Jiaotong University, is the executive vice president of the research institute, Sun Kun, president of Xinhua Hospital, Guan Haibing, head of the Network Information Center of Jiaotong University, Zhang Xianming, head of the Institute of Translational Medicine of Jiaotong University, Wang Zheng, vice president of Renji Hospital, Wang Xudong, vice president of the Ninth Hospital, Chen Tong, vice president of the First Municipal Hospital, Zheng Yuanyi, vice president of the Sixth Municipal Hospital, Cheng Jinke, dean of the School of Basic Medical Sciences of Jiaotong University, is the vice president of the institute.
It is reported that the establishment of the Digital Medicine Research Institute will effectively promote the integration and complementarity of science and engineering and medicine, give full play to the advantages of interdisciplinary disciplines, and comprehensively promote the new leapfrog development of the Medical College of Jiaotong University. "The core of digital medicine is to adopt digital high-tech, thereby improving the level of health management and disease diagnosis and treatment of the whole population, the Digital Medicine Research Institute relies on the headquarters of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the School of Medicine and affiliated hospitals to carry out systematic construction, through the integration of public health, basic medicine, clinical medicine, pharmacy, computer and artificial intelligence, systems biology, biological engineering and social disciplines and other multidisciplinary clusters, to create a domestic top digital medicine innovation research and transformation application base in government, use, production, learning and research. It will help Shanghai to become a science and technology innovation center with global influence and an Asian medical center city, and strive to build a world-class digital medicine innovation and demonstration base. Fan Xianqun, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, vice president of Shanghai Jiao Tong University and dean of the School of Medicine, introduced, "The research institute is not limited to a certain field and certain topics, and the technological development related to digital medicine should become the direction of our efforts." During the covid-19 epidemic prevention and control period, the well-known suishen code is actually an excellent example of digital medicine. According to reports, the institute will invest hundreds of millions of yuan in 5 years, combined with multiple forces to create a digital medicine composite talent team, teaching staff and research center platform.
Lin Zhongqin, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and president of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, said that he hopes to build the Digital Medicine Research Institute into a digital medical science and technology innovation research highland with first-class talents and first-class achievements, create a "Jiaotong University sample" for the construction of digital medicine, and contribute to supporting the national strategic scientific and technological strength and realizing China's high-level scientific and technological self-reliance.
Today, the "New Model of Digital Life Cycle Health Management" innovated by Wang Hui and her team was released at the same time, building an active health index to empower the government, family doctors and the public for future digital life cycle health management; Fang Yong, Vice President of Jiaotong University School of Medicine, and Professor Wang Yanfeng of Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory signed an agreement on behalf of both parties to cooperate and build a digital medical research institute to further effectively promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence and medical health industry through digital innovation.
