The MIT Technology Review journal recently published an article titled "AI Could Alleviate China's Doctor Shortage," which described the vital role that intelligent medical treatment plays in relieving the shortage of medical resources and the pressures of the medical-care field as well as reducing misdiagnosis and the rate of missed diagnoses. This has been achieved through the introduction of the national AI strategy for the enhanced development of the healthcare industry. In the article, Chief Physician Wu Chongchong, of the Imaging Department at Hospital No. 301, performed image analysis and diagnosis with the help of a diagnosis platform complemented by the use of intelligent medical imaging. The article repeatedly cited the research team's assessment of PereDoc as a pioneering technology in the field of intelligent medical treatment.

As one of the world's oldest, most influential journals of its kind, MIT Technology Review focuses on emerging technologies and their dramatic influence on commerce and society. It provides more than three million professionals and business leaders in the science-and-technology sector with prospective information and original in-depth research and analysis of the industry trends. Accordingly, this special report on PereDoc describes its leading position in the field of healthcare.

What exactly is PereDoc?

Installed within a special hardware unit called the PereBox, PereDoc's intelligent medical imaging-aided diagnosis platform focuses on the R&D of medical image recognition and detection, playing the role of hinting, assisted diagnosis and making the diagnosis and treatment plan for doctor's clinical diagnosis so as to improve the diagnosis quality and doctor's efficiency based on the world's leading cloud computing, big data and AI technologies. PereBox has been deployed in dozens of tertiary grade-A hospitals, thereby enhancing doctors' ability to read film accurately and efficiently. This April, Beijing Shijitan Hospital will establish the AI pulmonary nodule clinic, in which the core technical support PereDoc will also be included. As the right hand of doctors, it will conduct comprehensive screening of over 120 pulmonary diseases.

PereDoc is powered by industry development and technical innovation

Notably, PereDoc focuses not only on product R&D and iteration, but also on the resource sharing and sustainable development of the entire medical industry. In 2017, PereDoc established the "Joint Institute of Intelligent Medical Imaging" with more than 180 key hospitals, which by far is the largest joint institute in the world. It concentrates on the innovation and development of intelligent medical imaging, with its cooperation scope and scientific research ability both at the forefront of the industry. In the future, PereDoc will push forward the cooperation with over 10 top medical institutions from the United States, Japan and Germany so as to benefit the world together based on science and technology.

"China is now in rapid development. At present, totally 131 enterprises are working on the application of AI to the medical industry," according to MIT Technology Review. Undoubtedly, the voyage age of AI has arrived and the intelligent medical treatment has played a crucial role in solving the most basic livelihood issues. PereDoc will join hands with excellent partners to exploit the value of medical big data, boost the upgrade of the traditional medical treatment with excellent technical quality and advance the rapid development of the intelligent medical industry in an open and pragmatic attitude.
