Health protection is smarter! China comprehensively promotes the development of "artificial intelligence+medical and health" applications
2025-11-05
What kind of sparks will be generated when artificial intelligence encounters healthcare? On November 4th, five departments including the National Health Commission and the National Development and Reform Commission released the "Implementation Opinions on Promoting and Regulating the Development of 'Artificial Intelligence+Medical and Health' Applications", which clearly proposes to deeply empower the high-quality development of the health industry with the new generation of artificial intelligence, and better meet the growing health service needs of the people. This document is not only a "construction drawing" for technical implementation, but also a "health commitment" filled with warmth. Grasping the development trend of artificial intelligence, opinions outline the "timetable" for promoting and regulating the application and development of "artificial intelligence+medical and health" in China - by 2027, establish a batch of high-quality datasets and trustworthy data spaces in the health industry, form a batch of clinical specialty vertical large models and intelligent agent applications, and widely apply intelligent assistance for grassroots diagnosis and treatment, intelligent assistance for clinical specialty diagnosis and treatment decision-making, and intelligent services for patient visits in medical and health institutions; By 2030, the basic coverage of intelligent auxiliary applications in grassroots diagnosis and treatment will be achieved, and the widespread use of artificial intelligence technologies such as medical imaging intelligent auxiliary diagnosis and clinical diagnosis and treatment intelligent auxiliary decision-making in hospitals at or above the second level will be promoted. The "artificial intelligence+medical and health" application standard specification system will be basically improved, and a number of globally leading science and technology innovation and talent training bases will be built. This means that in the coming years, artificial intelligence will be deeply integrated into the entire chain of health services, including prevention, diagnosis and treatment, rehabilitation, and health management. Scene implementation, benefiting multiple parties. These technologically advanced images are expected to gradually integrate into China's medical and health daily life - community doctors open the intelligent diagnosis and treatment system, and on the screen, artificial intelligence has automatically pushed medication reminders and dietary suggestions for hypertensive patients based on residents' health records; Imaging devices equipped with artificial intelligence algorithms accurately identify small lesions in CT images, prompting doctors to pay attention; Young mothers use the traditional Chinese medicine intelligent tongue diagnosis mini program on their mobile phones to identify their children's physical constitution... In response to common and frequently occurring diseases at the grassroots level, artificial intelligence is expected to become a "capable assistant" for doctors - establishing a grassroots intelligent auxiliary diagnosis and treatment application, providing intelligent applications such as auxiliary diagnosis, prescription review, follow-up management, and traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment to grassroots doctors, and improving the service capabilities of grassroots general practice auxiliary diagnosis, disease differentiation diagnosis, medical imaging auxiliary diagnosis, etc. It is worth noting that medical imaging intelligent auxiliary diagnosis will realize the development from single disease to single organ multi disease, and improve the efficiency and reporting quality of imaging diagnosis. Resolving the "bottlenecks" and "pain points" in the medical process, a series of heartwarming measures are "on the way" - precise appointment triage guidance, intelligent pre consultation, cloud accompaniment, intelligent follow-up... In secondary and above hospitals, patients will enjoy intelligent services throughout the entire process from pre diagnosis, during diagnosis to post diagnosis. Promote bedside intelligent devices, carry out disease monitoring and early warning, bedside intelligent nursing and other services; Promote cross regional and cross institutional mutual recognition and sharing of inspection and testing results; Promoting intelligent services such as mobile payments, one-stop settlement for medical insurance, rapid claims settlement for commercial insurance, satisfaction surveys, and post hospital management will focus on improving patients' medical experience. As a brilliant treasure of Chinese civilization, traditional Chinese medicine will also undergo intelligent upgrading. For example, building a specialized knowledge base for traditional Chinese medicine clinical diseases and a knowledge base for clinical medication to support the construction of a large-scale model for traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment; Encourage traditional Chinese medicine research and development institutions, as well as planting and production enterprises, to establish a full process traceability system for traditional Chinese medicine, achieving intelligent management of the entire process of traditional Chinese medicine planting, processing, and use; Encourage the research and development of intelligent diagnostic equipment for traditional Chinese medicine in various regions, to achieve quantitative collection and analysis of "four diagnostic" information. Safety and standardization are the lifeline of the development of artificial intelligence healthcare. Optimize the industry management and audit system, innovate regulatory methods and warning mechanisms, strengthen data security and personal privacy protection... The opinion chapter clarifies the requirements for "regulating security supervision" to ensure the safe, reliable, and controllable development of artificial intelligence. In this intelligent revolution that concerns the health of billions of people, China is moving towards a smarter, more inclusive, and safer medical future with a clear roadmap, systematic policy support, and firm innovation pace.
