Intelligent guidance, AI nurses, auxiliary diagnosis and treatment
"AI + medical care" into daily life, how has medical treatment changed?
Read the prompts
Hospitals apply artificial intelligence technology to make it more convenient for patients to seek medical treatment, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of doctors' diagnosis and treatment. Professionals said that at present, artificial intelligence is still not "intelligent" enough, and to be further applied in the medical field, it is necessary to strengthen learning. In addition, the artificial window should also be kept open to provide convenience for special groups.
In a hurry in a huge hospital, I can't find a place to go; There is a long queue for registration and payment, which often takes more than half an hour; All kinds of inspection reports, you have to run multiple windows to get them all... Improving the patient's medical experience is a must-answer question for every hospital.
A few days ago, the "digital chaperone" launched by the East Hospital of Shanghai Renji Hospital allowed patients to experience the convenience of seeking medical treatment. In the hospital, patients can navigate through the camera scene, check the examination report with their mobile phone, pay online, and view the number of people in line in real time in the mini program to better plan the consultation process.
In fact, these changes in medical treatment are not uncommon in the medical field. In recent years, the rise of artificial intelligence technology has given smart medical care more room for imagination. With the hospital as the main scene, the blessing of new technology has changed the participation and mode of action of both doctors and patients.
Intelligent guidance helps patients clarify their line of action
Recently, Ms. Wu rushed to Shanghai Xinhua Hospital with her 10-year-old son, and as soon as she entered the hospital, she turned on the intelligent guidance function of the "outpatient service" module on her mobile phone.
Nearly half of the outpatient clinics of Xinhua Hospital are pediatrics, and the hospital has nearly 600 subspecialties. Previously, patients who wanted to get on the right call had to wait in long lines at the pre-screening table. With the gradual implementation of the all-source appointment system in Shanghai, once patients register the wrong number, they may be delayed for a longer time.
With intelligent guidance, these medical troubles are greatly reduced. Ms. Wu entered the symptoms of "diarrhea" on the guide interface, and then the system asked whether she had vomiting, abdominal pain, and the age of the child. After Ms. Wu filled in truthfully, the system quickly gave suggestions for medical treatment and guided her to pediatric gastroenterology or pediatric internal medicine.
Fan Yiling, head of the emergency office of Renji Hospital, introduced that from the perspective of the medical process, in the hospital scene, intelligent guidance can help patients clarify the line of action, avoid disorder caused by repeated flow, and make the originally complex process smooth and simple.
Not long ago, AI nurse "Xiaowei" was launched in the Internet Hospital of Renji Hospital, providing age-appropriate services for the elderly who are not good at operating smart devices and answering daily medical questions. At the same time, the Internet Hospital of the hospital has realized the whole process of customer service guidance such as registration, consultation, payment, reimbursement, drug logistics inquiry, etc., and incorporated the functions of inspection report inquiry and interpretation.
Reduce waiting times for pregnant women in the hospital
Every year, about 2,5 pregnant women give birth at the Shanghai First Maternal and Child Health Hospital, affectionately known as the "Cradle of Shanghai." How to make pregnant women and their families have a good medical experience? Recently, the reporter learned from the hospital that shortening the average waiting time in the hospital is one of the key factors, and this is inseparable from the support of artificial intelligence technology.
"In the past, each pregnant woman visited the hospital about 16~18 times on average, including card registration, prenatal examination and delivery, but now with the remote fetal monitoring system, pregnant women can achieve home examinations within a certain gestational week, and the number of prenatal examinations is expected to be reduced to 14." Professor Wang Yu, President of Shanghai First Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital, said that the use of the intelligent booking and evaluation system is also expected to reduce the average waiting time of pregnant women from 68 minutes to 16 minutes, improving the efficiency of pregnant women, especially in suburbs, other provinces and cities, and improving the medical experience.
From 2D CT images to 3D stereoscopic models at a glance, it only takes a few minutes. With a simple drag of the mouse, you can customize the section, angle, and vascular disconnection position on the model, helping doctors complete accurate surgical planning in minutes.
During the physical examination, 42-year-old Ms. Wang found a mixed ground-glass nodule in her lower right lung, about 1.5 cm in size, and CT preliminarily diagnosed early lung cancer, and experts recommended surgery. But to Ms. Wang's distress, the surgeon told her that the nodule was near the hilar of the basal segment, not in the traditional sense, but between two lung segments. So the entire lobe may have to be removed.
After examining Ms. Wang's CT images in detail, the team of Professor Xiao Haibo from the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery of Xinhua Hospital decided to use the intelligent lung surgery planning system developed by SenseTime to perform fully automatic AI 3D reconstruction of the lungs to achieve accurate positioning of lung nodules.
Xiao Haibo introduced the advantages of the surgical planning system: "AI can automatically complete the three-dimensional reconstruction of the lung based on CT images, saving the time of doctors to rebuild themselves, in addition, doctors can perform simulated surgery on the system, predict and plan each step of the actual operation in advance, and greatly reduce the risk of misoperation." "In the end, with the blessing of the surgical planning system, Ms. Wang's operation process was very smooth.
Improve the efficiency and accuracy of diagnosis and treatment
"In the hospital scene, whether in the emergency department or the ward, seeing a doctor is the core demand of patients." Fan Yiling talked about the further application of artificial intelligence technology, saying that systems and programs can make the diagnosis and treatment process more standardized, but the order and experience of doctors are different, and artificial intelligence is playing an important role in minimizing the occurrence of diagnosis and treatment errors.
Fan Yiling explained using examination images as an example: "In daily work, about half of the films do not need to be interpreted by high-level doctors, but in the past, the technology was immature and could only rely on doctors, but now it is different, such as chest CT, which can be screened by artificial intelligence, and the routine examination workload of doctors is reduced by more than half." ”
In July this year, at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference Health Summit Forum, Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine demonstrated the application of AI-assisted diagnosis and treatment covering multiple parts and organs of the whole body, which can provide intelligent services for different clinical departments in the whole process of diagnosis, treatment and healing, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of doctors' diagnosis and treatment.
Regarding how to make artificial intelligence technology better serve medical consultations, Xu Jian, deputy director of the information management department of Xinhua Hospital, said that at present, for the same disease, different doctors often give different treatment plans according to their own treatment ideas and priorities, while artificial intelligence can only give a fixed treatment plan at present, and learning needs to be strengthened in the future.
Fan Yiling said that for some elderly people, while guiding them to gradually accept artificial intelligence to participate in the medical process, the artificial window should continue to be open to provide convenience for people in need. (Daily Worker)
