AIoT is expected to become a medical field shifting power to assist doctors in organ diagnosis of brain or lungs

How to promote medical integration with AIoT technology? New IT technologies such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things will assist doctors in the diagnosis of organs such as the brain or lungs, and analyze the state of endoscopes or ultrasonic devices with artificial intelligence to improve the efficiency of medical services.

With the advancement of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT), it is reported that the Japanese medical equipment factory has also promoted the empirical test of combining medical equipment with these new technologies one by one, and applied to the Japanese government, hoping to get the fastest in 2019. In the year, it became a legal advanced medical related service in Japan.

Manufacturers in Europe and the United States have launched new technologies combining medical technology with new technologies, such as GE Healthcare, a subsidiary of General Electric (GE), which actively introduces artificial intelligence and cooperates with NVIDIA; Philips in the Netherlands also cooperates with SoftBank to promote its use. Artificial intelligence and IoT medical services.

Japan's Precision Instrument Factory Topcon established a subsidiary of the Internet of Things-related business in the United States in 2017 to conduct networking and diagnostic support experiments for ophthalmic medical equipment. It is hoped that the relevant service charging system will be established in 2018, and the cause will be promoted first. , expand related services.

The report pointed out that new IT technologies such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things are expected to become the driving force for the transformation of the medical field. This is a rare opportunity for any medical equipment factory to reshuffle, so not only the medical industry actively develops, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan It is also planned to support the development of related fields.

Hitachi is actively developing artificial intelligence analysis of computed tomography (CT) and other medical imaging equipment to assist doctors in the diagnosis of organs such as brain or lung. Clinical trials began in the spring of 2018, and drug administration was initiated in the same year. The next step in the application is to develop diagnostic assistance techniques in other areas.

Fujifilm (Fujifilm) prefers remote medical equipment detection, analyzes the condition of endoscope or ultrasonic equipment with artificial intelligence, predicts equipment maintenance time and judges fault conditions, etc., reduces hospital's treatment failure due to equipment failure, and improves medical service efficiency. The test will be launched at the end of 2018. Since it is not a direct medical action, the factory is expected to pass the application in 2019 and be immediately commercialized.

As the legislative units are more cautious about the introduction of new medical technology, the new technology application of medical equipment in Japan in 2018 can only be stopped at the experimental stage, and it is impossible to determine when it will be officially commercialized, but progress has begun.
