Assisting in disease prevention, artificial intelligence takes the lead
Big data, the Internet and artificial intelligence are promoting the digitization process of the medical system. The new intelligent and platform based applications will further enhance the quality of medical care and provide personalized solutions for disease prevention.
Scientists, doctors, and engineers have invested considerable time in developing new digital applications. The goal of these tasks is not only to detect diseases in the early stages, but also to achieve disease prevention. Dr. Enise Lauterbach, a cardiologist from Trier, Germany, said, "The diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases are already very advanced in technology and have saved many lives. If diseases can be prevented, the effect will be even better
Dr. Lauterbach emphasized that "digital healthcare applications can give patients greater self-determination. By understanding their own health data, patients can learn a lot and become responsible experts." As a digital pioneer, she firmly believes that a fully informed and actively involved patient can better manage their own health, rather than just focusing on disease. As introduced by two experts, digitalization of the healthcare system will be a driving factor that can change and improve the lives of many patients. Medical staff and patient relatives can also participate, while reducing the burden through monitoring and remote care. The digitally linked system not only helps to compensate for the shortage of nursing staff in an aging society worldwide, but also improves the level of medical services in underdeveloped rural areas.

According to the World Health Organization, 90% of people worldwide breathe polluted air every day. Air pollution causes 7 million premature deaths annually due to diseases such as cancer, stroke, heart disease, and lung disease. 90% of premature deaths occur in low - to middle-income countries with high emissions of industrial, transportation, and agricultural pollutants. -
Recently, a landmark study on neural cells was published, in which researchers claimed to have discovered that brain neurons can modify their own DNA on their own. For a long time, the biomedical community has believed that human somatic DNA is fixed. According to Science, the discovery that "brain cells can modify their own DNA" has been evaluated as "possibly one of the major discoveries in the field of molecular biology in recent years". Researchers analyzed the donated brains of 6 healthy elderly individuals and 7 non secondary Alzheimer's disease patients and found that patients with Alzheimer's disease carry six times more APP variant gene varieties in their neuronal cells than the general population. Therefore, researchers speculate that the ability of brain cells to modify DNA on their own may contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease.

Under the trend of domestic substitution in the medical device industry, the drive to explore overseas markets is also increasing. Going global is the key for the medical device industry to seek new growth curves and enhance international competitiveness.Moreover, China is implementing a more proactive opening-up strategy. Jointly building the "the Belt and Road" has become a popular international public product and international cooperation platform to achieve higher quality and deeper mutual benefit and win-win results with countries along the line.
