Just after the "West Lake Theory", Cheng Guohua, one of the organizers, did not have a rest. In the dark clouds of Hangzhou on Friday, he would also prepare a speech at the Zhejiang Hospital Conference in the afternoon. In this gap, Cheng Guohua still accepted the interview of the arterial network reporter.
Cheng Guohua, the founder of Jianpei Technology, has always acted in a low-key manner, and Jianpei Technology also reflects his consistent style. In addition to the annual West Lake Theory and its achievements, Jian Pei is rarely exposed in the media, and always insists on quietly practicing in the field of artificial intelligence.
It has been more than six years from 2012 to today.
Vision: The Choice of Mobile Internet and Artificial Intelligence
When Jian Peigang was founded in 2012, “ Medical + Artificial Intelligence†could only see a little spark from abroad. At that time, it was the beginning of the mobile Internet era, and various “Internet +†products began to appear in the market. In the face of the sudden change of the situation, Jianpei and his party are retreating into the valley. Is it a technology that follows the artificial intelligence boldly, or is it trying to seize the high ground in the trend of the Internet model? In the end, Cheng Guohua made a decisive decision: to do artificial intelligence.
This decision implied Cheng Guohua's precise insight. In June 2012, a tiny news touched him - IBM Watson and the Anderson Cancer Center signed the first cooperation agreement, the amount of about $ 2.4 million, to explore artificial intelligence analysis big data to help diagnose skin cancer.
This news made Cheng Guohua realize that the original medical AI can also be commercialized. This incident is a major breakthrough in AI technology in history, and it has also changed the road of Jianpei Technology.
Combined with the changes in the future, Cheng Guohua once again talked about the choice of the year: "Internet and artificial intelligence technology are crucial for medical treatment, but there is a big difference. My analysis at the time was this: Internet model for medical care The field is more manifested in its indirect role, for example, through the Internet model, patients can quickly match the right doctor, find a better way to treat their own disease, connect patients and doctors in a way that spans space. But at this stage, the Internet also has its shortcomings, that is, busy hospitals are more busy, and grassroots hospitals are in the door, because people will try their best to find better medical resources."
"In contrast, artificial intelligence as a technology exists, whether it is a first-class hospital or a grassroots hospital will benefit. This technology can precipitate the expert experience of the first-class hospital well, and send it to the grassroots, let the grassroots Doctors carry out work that has not been able to operate in the past, such as reading and report writing, greatly improving the medical level of primary hospitals, and promoting the stratified diagnosis and treatment; large hospitals benefit from the diversion of primary hospitals, and also from doctors' cumbersome mechanical work. Freed up, able to have more energy to deal with some special situations, which is good for the whole society."
"We have to do the right thing, not a fashion thing." Cheng Guohua concluded.
West Lake on the origin of health: obscure medical artificial intelligence
The goal is set, everything is going well. The entrepreneurs of Jianpei Technology are a group of IT old rivers and lakes. Cheng Guohua himself also graduated from Nanyang Technological University. The deep learning algorithm for data analysis is not a problem for them. The real problem is that the algorithm is done, but no data can be analyzed. In 2013, no hospitals knew about artificial intelligence, and even less believed that artificial intelligence could bring subversion to the medical industry . After contacting a number of hospitals, doctors have determined that this is a scam rather than a technology. What about cooperation?
After several twists and turns, with the help of friends, Jianpei Technology contacted a hospital in Chabul County, Xinjiang, and was willing to provide data to help Jianpei do clinical testing. After confirming the cooperation, Cheng Guohua immediately carried a few servers and sat alone on the train to the desert.
In the following two months, Cheng Guohua learned some work from the radiology department during the day and went to the hospital's PACS system at night to transfer the desensitized data back to the Jianpei headquarters in Hangzhou, waiting for the headquarters to establish a database and use the algorithm to image. Mark it.
This is a very successful attempt. Although the accuracy at the time could not be compared with the present, the doctor was still very satisfied with it. But talking about the future of artificial intelligence, doctors still have no hope that this is too far away.
In the next two years, Jian Pei tried another disease such as lung nodules and breast cancer. In the course of clinical testing, Jian Pei found that the data of the feeding algorithm is a big problem. So how do you get more data? Maybe you have to let more people know about artificial intelligence first - Jianpei needs to cultivate this market.
After the plan was finalized in early 2015, Jian Pei began to fully participate in the preparations for the meeting and set the name of the meeting as “West Lake Theoryâ€.
This year's "West Lake Theory" is an excellent start. IBM, Huawei and other large companies and six academicians from China participated in the meeting. At this meeting, many scholars discussed the issues, development and future of "AI+Medical", and artificial intelligence has also entered the eyes of more doctors.
War without smoke: What does AlphaGo mean for Li Shishi?
West Lake Onjian just opened the corner of artificial intelligence in the medical field, and truly let the world know about artificial intelligence. In June 2016, AlphaGo played against Li Shishi. When we relished the results of the game and the future of artificial intelligence, Cheng Guohua saw four words - human-machine wars.
In the interview, Cheng Guohua recalled the scene at the time: "I saw this game, I think, why is Google going to do such a game, just to showcase its achievements? No, it is to create artificial intelligence."
This year's "West Lake Theory" immediately added the "human-machine war" to the theme of the conference and became the first forum in China to hold a medical AI human-machine war.
"As the first person to eat crabs in China, this year's hot scene of 'West Lake on Jian' is still vivid. This forum created two domestic firsts, one is 'Medical Wars', we invited seniors The imaging diagnostic experts and the reading robots competed on-site to showcase the black technology of big data technology to drive artificial intelligence. The second is the on-site Sino-US MDT consultation. The world-class cancer treatment experts gathered together to verify the latest treatment of various cancer treatments. Results."
In the same year, Jianpei Technology participated in the World Lung Nodule Detection Challenge Competition (LUNA2016), which defeated many medical AI products in the world with the “Doctor of the Doctor†and created a world record. The Chinese team's AI technology can go global in the medical field, which means that the domestic AI technology has the same atmosphere as the international.
In August 2017, “Dr. Yu†was selected as the only medical artificial intelligence project in CCTV’s “Tactic†program, and competed with Alibaba Cloud in the final final.
"This is a war without smoke," Cheng Guohua said. "People only saw our products on CCTV1's show, but they couldn't see the undercurrent. The medical artificial intelligence broke out in 2017. The expansion, before the director of 'tactful people' found us, he has seen nearly 100 medical artificial intelligence AIs in the country, and finally we are on the stage."
Dr. Yan's path to success: Jianpei business model exploration
Asked about the core competitiveness of Jianpei, Cheng Guohua summarized it in four words – down to earth.
As can be seen from the data, Jianpei Technology has been in the Pre-A round since its establishment six years ago, but the company's achievements are not necessarily linked to the rounds of financing, especially in the field of artificial intelligence.
In the stage of widespread burning of artificial intelligence, Jianpei relies on providing services such as cloud computing and cloud storage to the hospital to achieve profitability. “We have been groping on the front line, so we know the needs of the various departments of the hospital. This is our behavior model. We are the IT team and it is easy to make profits by developing systems and software. At the same time, our entire team is very economical, but we have to Guaranteed income, whether it is corporate income or personal income. Then, without financing, we must maintain behavior and income, we have been in a state of ruin, either success or success."
“It is difficult for us to judge the good or bad of financing behavior. It may not be a wise choice to slow down the expansion.†Cheng Guohua added, “If we can explore the income model, then we will take investment.â€
The principle of prudent and prudent is accompanied by Jianpei step by step to the present. Including artificial intelligence, CAD and other systems, Jianpei's products have been deployed in nearly 600 hospitals, and nearly one hundred are in negotiation.
At present, Jianpei's products cover the reading robot (å•„ doctor), self-service cloud film, intelligent image cloud system and other products, which can provide a complete set of information services and auxiliary reading services for hospitals.
Frontier exploration: landing, approval and development trends
The theme of this "West Lake Theory" forum is "Internet + Wisdom Medical Openness and Integration". Open refers to the opening of hospitals, the opening of data and the opening of ideas. The integration is to integrate existing data and technology. Throughout to seek new understanding.
Naturally, there were also many issues that were of concern to AI participants. The first is the approval of NMPA (CFDA). Now there are 30 to 40 products in the country for inspection. Cheng Guohua summarized the speeches of the directors at the meeting as the following three points: First, not all FDA products are listed for clinical trials. The data sets used are derived from real-world data and can be used for preclinical evaluation and clinical Evaluation, clinical evaluation can be used in prospective and retrospective clinical. The state's products for AI+ medical devices, including AI, medical devices, and software, have certain requirements for quality evaluation. It is necessary to refer to the 20551 standard, which evaluates the quality of software from eight characteristics, especially for AI. Sex and compatibility requirements.
Secondly, the data labeling process needs to be strictly regulated, especially the clinical general rules. Taking ophthalmic AI as an example, the existing consensus comes from the clinical diagnosis and treatment guidelines of the fundus group in China.
Finally, the offset control of the data is very important, especially retrospective data. To ensure that control is carried out, doctors need to establish a common and effective consensus, which is one of the reasons for this forum.
In addition to the approval factors, Cheng Guohua believes that the policy of a region has a great influence on the development of artificial intelligence enterprises: “Zhejiang has always been at the forefront of the country in terms of the Internet, and its policy inclination is also obvious. The core of Zhejiang No. 1 Project is Digital economy."
In general, everything in artificial intelligence is booming, borrowing the end of Cheng Guohua in the "West Lake Theory": "The future is an era of openness and integration. We hope that the greatest openness is the opening of human thoughts. I hope that everyone here is here. Experts and colleagues, join us in the open trend, let us create a better era."
