AI and IoT Power Self-Serve Health Clinics
Advances in China’s standard of living provide more people with access to healthcare. Nonetheless, with life expectancies now averaging 76.5 years, medical costs are on the rise.
And while the number of top-tier hospitals throughout the country has more than doubled, the annual number of outpatient visits increased almost fourfold during that same period. Improving patient outcomes now relies on the use of new technologies such as real-time analytics, facial recognition, and the IoT.
Innovation enables more people to get better access to healthcare information and advice without going to a hospital or waiting to see a doctor. It can also reduce the strain on overburdened medical personnel and resources by automating collection, transmission, and storage of healthcare data used in patient records.
The Intelligent Health Management Solution from Shenzhen Dingsheng Intelligent Technology is helping to fulfill this mission.
Jessica Hsu, Sales Director at Shenzhen Dingsheng Intelligent Technology, explained how the solution provides comprehensive self-service health exams.
“The system includes approximately 50 physical examination indicators that measure vital signs and monitor for key chronic diseases,” said Hsu. “By setting it up in everyday locations like drugstores, community centers, and shopping malls, we make it easy for people to get comprehensive checkups.”
To illustrate how it works, imagine that a 68-year-old man we’ll call John comes across the Health Management Solution at a shopping mall. Overdue for a checkup, and not wanting to wait in his doctor’s office, he decides to try it out.
First, John scans a QR code on his smartphone to log in. The intuitive interface helps him enter background information and guides him through checking his blood pressure, heart rate, and body composition. He uses the system’s built-in modules to do these tests without any assistance.
The software compares John’s results with standard reference points and provides him with a report containing healthcare suggestions. While the report is uploaded to John’s account, he also prints a copy.
Because John has questions, he video-chats directly with a remote medical professional who also has his report.
