Population aging + chronic disease is high + medical resources are unevenly distributed, and medical artificial intelligence is in great demand
Medical artificial intelligence is the fundamental way to solve medical productivity. In China, the aging of the population, the rapid growth of chronic diseases, the serious imbalance between the supply and demand of medical resources, and the uneven geographical distribution have created a huge demand for medical artificial intelligence. At the same time, China has a large population base, rich industrial portfolio, and sufficient talent reserves. It also provides a good foundation for the development of artificial intelligence.

On the other hand, in recent years, more than 80 national policies issued by the state and a number of special policies for medical artificial intelligence have shown that the development of medical artificial intelligence has welcomed favorable policies. Therefore, China has become the world's leading AI R&D center, and the development of medical artificial intelligence in China is facing very good opportunities.

Lack of quality medical resources, artificial intelligence + medical health change the future
The most prominent problem in the medical field is the lack of quality medical resources. At the same time, doctors have a lot of room for improvement in the accuracy and efficiency of disease diagnosis. For a long time, the demand for doctors has increased in most countries and regions, especially after entering an aging society. To solve the problem of insufficient doctor resources, there is no other way than to increase the supply. However, doctors need a period of training, and the supply cannot be increased indefinitely. So people began to hope for the machine. Because once the machine can be treated, the supply will increase indefinitely. Therefore, the combination of artificial intelligence and medical health is the most important one in many application scenarios of artificial intelligence.
