Tencent will build a new generation of artificial intelligence open innovation platform for medical imaging in four dimensions

China Securities Network News (Reporter Ren Mingjie) On April 12, at the 2018 China “Internet +” Digital Economy Summit, Chang Jia, head of Tencent’s “Internet +” Medical Center, introduced that relying on Tencent’s open platform to gather the resource advantages of 13 million partners , as well as Tencent Miying's technological breakthroughs in the field of medical AI, the national new generation artificial intelligence open innovation platform for medical imaging will drive cooperation and innovation from four dimensions: innovation and entrepreneurship, cooperation across the industry chain, academic research, and HP public welfare.

Chang Jia said that in terms of innovation and entrepreneurship, in conjunction with the "AI Accelerator" of Tencent's open platform, Tencent will open up the five major resources of AI technology, investment, mentors, industry resources, and market, start the recruitment of AI entrepreneurs and trainees, and help focus on artificial intelligence medical care. The entrepreneurial team has polished its own AI products and completed project upgrades; in terms of cooperation across the entire industry chain, "Tencent Miying" has currently established artificial intelligence medical laboratories with many domestic tertiary hospitals. Medical experts and Tencent artificial intelligence experts work together to promote AI Exploration of technology in the medical field; in terms of academic research, the National New Generation Artificial Intelligence Open Innovation Platform for Medical Imaging will work with domestic and foreign medical experts and academic journals to promote AI+ medical academics through joint subject research, cutting-edge application exploration and cross-industry academic research. Scientific research and advice. In addition, Tencent also announced a strategic cooperation with the international medical publishing house AME to jointly produce academic journals focusing on artificial intelligence medical research to promote the commercialization of artificial intelligence medical research results. Previously, Tencent AI Lab also reached a strategic cooperation with Springer Nature, a leading international academic and educational publishing group, to jointly promote interdisciplinary research in the field of "AI + medical care" and explore the use of academic prizes and industry-university-research exchanges. and other forms, integrating global scientific research resources to support interdisciplinary cooperation in the medical industry and artificial intelligence research; in terms of HP public welfare, Tencent will further promote the new model of "technology + public welfare" this year.

In November last year, the Ministry of Science and Technology announced the first batch of national new-generation artificial intelligence open innovation platforms, and clearly relied on Tencent to build a national new-generation artificial intelligence open innovation platform for medical imaging. The launch of Tencent's national new generation artificial intelligence open innovation platform for medical imaging is a concrete manifestation and a concrete measure to implement the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan" issued by the State Council. According to the plan, by 2020, China's overall AI technology and application will be in sync with the world's advanced level, by 2025, the basic theory of AI will achieve a major breakthrough, and by 2030, the overall AI theory, technology and application will reach the world's leading level and become the world's major AI innovation center.

Chen Guangyu, vice president of Tencent, expressed the hope that the opening of the new generation of artificial intelligence in medical imaging countries can play the role of a "connector" to open up the innovation chain of medical AI, accelerate cross-border research between artificial intelligence and medicine, and promote the overall healthy development of the AI+ medical industry.

In August last year, Tencent launched the first product to apply artificial intelligence technology in the medical field, "Tencent Miying" - led by Tencent's Internet + Cooperation Division and integrating Tencent's internal companies including Tencent AI Lab, Youtu Lab, The capabilities of several top artificial intelligence teams such as the Architecture Platform Department are developed by integrating leading AI technologies such as image recognition, big data processing, and deep learning with medicine across borders to assist doctors in disease screening and diagnosis. In just half a year, Tencent Miying has expanded its application from single disease to multiple diseases, from early esophageal cancer screening to lung nodule, diabetic retinopathy, breast cancer, gastric cancer and other diseases, and has launched nationwide More than 100 top tertiary hospitals help doctors improve diagnostic efficiency and accuracy, and jointly promote the integration of artificial intelligence technology and hospital capabilities.
