Statistics show that poverty alleviation due to illness and return to poverty due to illness account for 44.1% of all poor households. Health poverty alleviation has become an urgent matter. Previously, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Promoting the Development of "Internet + Medical Health", which also required that the central and western regions, rural poverty-stricken areas, and remote border areas should actively develop "Internet + medical health" and introduce high-quality medical resources according to local conditions. to improve access to healthcare services. "Internet + medical health" has become a powerful helper for the country to promote healthy poverty alleviation.

Hardware: Technology empowers the grassroots to alleviate the problem of poverty due to illness

On January 10 this year, the National Health and Medical Commission held the first press conference of the new year. Hu Qiangqiang, deputy director of the Publicity Department and spokesman of the National Health and Medical Commission, pointed out that 2019 will focus on giving the poor people "a place to see a doctor and money to see a doctor." , less sickness", and continue to promote health poverty alleviation.

In 2017, WeDoctor, a medical and health technology platform, began to use the Internet as a means to help health poverty alleviation. Under the guidance of the National Health Commission's Poverty Alleviation Office, it launched the "Internet + Health Poverty Alleviation" project. The project covers Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces and radiates within the region. Yonghe County, Daning County, Qingjian County, and Zizhou County are four national-level poverty-stricken counties.

During the operation, WeDoctor has donated 10.5 million yuan to help poverty-stricken counties build a national telemedicine collaboration platform for grassroots doctors, providing eight major software systems including remote diagnosis and treatment, remote consultation, cloud case, cloud inspection and remote training, etc. The WeDoctor platform has opened up the high-quality medical resources of more than 2,700 key hospitals, 280,000 doctors, and more than 7,500 expert teams across the country. At present, the project has built 36 Internet consultation centers and 58 Internet grassroots consultation points, which has achieved full coverage of medical institutions in Daning and Yonghe counties, and achieved three-level connectivity of county, township and town medical resources, serving a population of 661,500.

In Pingdingshan, Henan, WeDoctor has established an intelligent grading diagnosis and treatment platform covering the city, county, township and village levels. Through the cloud patrol car, more than 50 inspections such as blood pressure, B-ultrasound, ECG, blood (urine) routine, and biochemistry are carried out. The equipment is "delivered to the door", and the grassroots people can complete the inspection and basic treatment of common diseases in the village.

In one year of implementation, WeDoctor assisted Jiaxian County in Pingdingshan to complete the contracting of 466,700 family doctors, with a contracting rate of 80.88%; 567,400 people were registered, and all 5,167 impoverished people achieved contracting and filing, which is at the leading level in the country.

Software: Internet + general education, creating a "hematopoietic" poverty alleviation force

Because rural doctors in my country are too scattered and are located in remote areas with inconvenient transportation, in order to help grassroots doctors improve their abilities and enable people to trust grassroots doctors, WeDoctor actively promotes the talent strategy, and trains professional general practitioners through the Internet + general education model. In addition to delivering high-quality medical resources to the grass-roots level, we should "teach people how to fish".

In April 2016, WeDoctor and Zhu Changzhu, director of the Department of General Medicine, Fudan University School of Medicine, jointly established the "WeDoctor Academy of General Practice" to create a professional platform for domestic general practice education and training. Provide key general practitioners, general practitioners and primary doctors who meet the competencies of the post.

WeDoctor General Academy has successively supported the training of grassroots doctors and rural doctors in Yunnan, Guizhou, Shandong, Hebei, Guangdong and other provinces. A total of 971 general practitioners and 193 general practitioners have been trained offline, and through Internet teaching scenarios, covering The number of trainees reaches 10,000, which meets the training needs of different regions and different medical resource structures.

At the same time, WeDoctor participated in the construction of the only health management university in China, Hainan Institute of Health Management, and plans to build it into a nationwide training base for general practitioners and a continuing education platform for grass-roots doctors to help improve the national targeted poverty alleviation areas. The hematopoietic function of teachers helps the country to comprehensively improve the competence and empowerment of grassroots doctors.

As a medical technology platform, WeDoctor also empowers grassroots doctors by combining information technology represented by artificial intelligence, big data, and portable medical equipment. According to reports, WeDoctor donated RMB 100 million to Zhejiang University to support the establishment of Zhejiang University Ruiyi Artificial Intelligence Research Center, and launched two major medical artificial intelligence products - Ruiyi Intelligent Doctor and Huatuo Intelligent Doctor, Ruiyi Intelligent Doctor in the lungs Key breakthroughs have been achieved in more than ten specialized fields such as small nodules, diabetic retinopathy, cervical cancer screening, bone age detection, and general-purpose auxiliary diagnosis; Condensed into a set of TCM artificial intelligence diagnosis and treatment applications. The two AI products will become "coaches" for grassroots doctors and family doctors.
