In those years, those "medical dreams" of "Technology"!
Internet medical care , as a new application of the Internet in the medical industry , has been unstoppable in recent years. Internet medical care represents a new development direction of the medical industry, which is conducive to solving the contradiction between global medical resource imbalance and people's increasing health care needs.
Not only is China vigorously developing "Internet +" and "Internet medical care", the world's large Internet and e-commerce giants seem to be focusing on the big cake of medical care, waiting to share this feast. Counting the “technical giants†at home and abroad, the medical industry has become one of its targets in the investment layout of these years. They are not a small tester. The huge investment tells us that they are serious this time. of.
Which foreign "technical giants" enter the medical field
1. Google ~ "Large multitasking network for drug development"
Google, as a US multinational technology company, is committed to Internet search, cloud computing, advertising technology and other fields, and develops and provides a large number of Internet-based products and services. In recent years, he has been involved in big data, population health, genetic maps, etc., and is currently working on "smart medical products (smart contact lenses)", "aging research and drug development (Calico)" and "health platform (Google Fit)" And other fields to enter. Google uses its advantages of mastering large amounts of user data, improving forecasting techniques, lowering drug costs, and screening for effective pharmaceutical ingredients to accelerate drug development. Compared to data from health care providers or product providers, Google's data is broader and more healthful.
Currently, Google has partnered with pharmaceutical companies such as Chicago drug giant AbbVie and Stanford University's PandeLab, and has completed "Lift Labs" (a company that is developing a device for Parkinson's patients to relieve hand tremors). ) the acquisition. Google's research products are mainly "smart contact lenses", which are mainly intended to measure blood sugar through the tears of users and correct the patient's vision. In the process of pharmacy, Google has not focused on the traditional medical field. Because medical research is not its mainstay, especially in the field of clinical research, Google does not easily get involved in areas that require too much clinical approval.
2. Apple ~ " wearable medical device"
Apple, also a high-tech company in the United States, entered the medical field as a "Healthkit." "Healthkit" is a mobile application platform that collects and analyzes the health data of users of its products. It can integrate data from other health applications on the iPhone and iPad, such as blood pressure and weight. Its functions integrate seven categories of information such as body data, fitness, personal, nutrition, results, sleep, and organs to fully display the user's personal health data.
At present, Apple has reached cooperation with 14 top hospitals in the United States. The content of the agreement is to let doctors guide patients with chronic diseases through Apple's own health system, and give health advice in time before the onset of illness. At the same time, more than 600 developers have integrated HealthKit into their health and fitness applications. While cooperating with the hospital, it has not given up the olive branch to large pharmaceutical companies. It is said that Apple has cooperated with large pharmaceutical companies such as GlaxoSmithKline.
While improving the "Healthkit" product, Google also upgraded it, and "ResearchKit" was born. DesignKit is designed primarily for doctors and scientific researchers to use mobile devices to collect frequent and accurate user information for medical health research. The diseases it targets are mainly chronic diseases such as Parkinson's disease, diabetes, cardiovascular, asthma and breast cancer.
Compared to "Healthkit" and "ResearchKit", Apple's expansion products include apple watch and AirStrip. The function of these two products is mainly to monitor a series of healthy exercise data such as exercise, heart rate, sleep and so on. In the future, Apple may submit a product to the FDA for use with the Apple Watch. Of course, once Apple Watch becomes a medical device, it must undergo strict FDA approval, and this will inevitably slow down, thus slowing Apple's innovation process, so these still need to be considered for avoidance.
3. Samsung ~ "Samsung Medical"
As the largest multinational conglomerate in South Korea, Samsung Group has expanded its business to the medical industry in recent years. "Samsung Medical", formerly known as Samsung Electric, is currently in the field of digital medical patents, digital medical platforms, diabetes management, wearable medical watches, mobile medical vehicles and smart hearing aids.
Samsung has its own product for wearable devices, and that is "SAMI." The "SAMI" platform will likely use cloud networking to support real-time data transfer for watch and mobile health applications. At the same time, the "SAMI" platform provides API software interfaces to third-party developers, allowing third-party teams or organizations to build a collection platform for digital health data.
Samsung's real goal is to become the world's leading mobile medical company by combining mobile devices and mobile services. For Samsung, mobile medical is to integrate all resources. Currently, its subsidiary "Samsung Madison Medical Devices Co., Ltd." has already started business. .
In addition to the current "cloud medical", Samsung is also committed to the traditional pharmaceutical industry. Located in Incheon, Samsung Biopharmaceuticals has become a well-known pharmaceutical company producing biologics worldwide and has a large-scale production capacity model. Samsung said the health care program is only part of its more comprehensive strategy to find a way out of combining the medical market with information technology.
