Smart healthcare is ready to go in the Internet of Things era

Internet of Things technology has opened up the era of Internet of Everything, and with the acceleration of smart city construction and the gradual penetration of Internet of Things technology into various industries, the concept of “Smart +” has emerged, such as smart energy, smart transportation, and smart medical care. "Flowing everywhere" can be said that the Internet of Things technology has brought a "new revolution" in the industrial model to various industries. As an important part of a smart city, smart medical care is also affected by the push, so what subversive changes will the Internet of Things technology bring to the medical industry? How does the group of heroes compete in the field of smart medical care?

As we all know, medical care is about "life and death" and is one of the most concerned people's livelihoods. Governments around the world attach great importance to the construction of smart medical care. According to research institutions, global smart medical service expenditures by 2018 are as far as the future. The monitoring, diagnostic equipment, life support, and physiological data monitoring will reach 30 billion U.S. dollars, and the global smart medical service expenditure growth rate will reach 60% from 2016 to 2018. It can be seen that the driving force of IoT technology for smart medical care is unquestionable!

Wisdom Medical English referred to as WIT120 is a new medical form in the Internet of Things era. It is the result of the application of the Internet of Things in the medical and health industry. Specifically, smart medical technology is a combination of ICT technology, Internet of things technology and big data technology. Means to create a medical information platform for health archives, realize the interaction between patients and medical staff, medical institutions and medical equipment, and gradually achieve informationization. Together to provide patients with efficient, convenient and easy to use, low-cost, intelligent medical health services.

Internet of Things technology improves medical service quality

The current ageing trend of society is obvious. For the whole society, it is not only the change of population structure, but also the overall medical service structure. At present, there are many problems facing us, especially the medical problems represented by “low-efficiency medical system, poor quality medical services, and difficult medical treatment and expensive medical treatment” are the main focus of the society. Large hospitals are overcrowded, no one in the community hospitals, and complicated patient procedures. These problems are caused by poor medical information, polarized medical resources, and incomplete medical supervision mechanisms. These problems have become an important factor affecting the harmonious development of society.

With the introduction of various new Internet of Things technologies, smart medical care will change the current status of medical services, new changes in hospitals and doctors and patients, and medical services will be more flexible and open, which can continuously improve the quality of medical services. For example, the establishment of electronic medical records and disease information platforms will help the hospital to paperless and further open up the sharing mechanism of patient information. Therefore, patients can enjoy safe, convenient and high-quality medical services with shorter treatment time and basic medical expenses. Specifically, smart medical care has the following four advantages over traditional medical care:

1. Using a variety of sensor devices and medical instruments suitable for home use, it is possible to collect various types of human vital signs data in a faster and real-time manner, which is beneficial for hospitals to obtain more abundant data more frequently, and at the same time reduce the burden on medical staff.

2. The collected data is automatically transmitted to the hospital data center through the wireless network. Medical personnel use the data to provide remote medical services, which can improve service efficiency, alleviate hospital queuing problems, and reduce transportation costs.

3. Data storage and management, to achieve wide-spread data sharing and deep utilization, so that a large number of medical data can be analyzed and mined, which can help solve key medical records and incurable diseases.

4. It can provide long-term, rapid and stable health monitoring and diagnosis and treatment services for sub-health populations, the elderly and chronically ill patients at a low cost, reduce the risk of onset, and indirectly reduce the demand for scarce medical resources (beds, etc.).

Internet of Things technology promotes business opportunities in related industries

In addition to improving medical services and saving medical resources, the introduction of Internet of Things technology will accelerate the rapid development of medical cloud platforms, care robots, and high-precision medical equipment, and is expected to become a new business opportunity for the medical industry.

The health/medical cloud platform includes four main lines of medical care, health care, care and epidemic prevention. Combined with terminal and information and communication technologies, medical information services such as personal medical records, patient information management and health promotion can be improved as a whole. It is predicted that the market size of the health/medical cloud platform will exceed $7 billion.

Nursing robots have also become one of the main business opportunities in medical services. The functions of companionship, communication and support will become important trends in the future.

On high-precision medical equipment, IoT technology has a broader deployment space, in which components, key materials, integrated development of software and hardware, etc. are areas to be expanded. How does Qunxiong compete in the field of wisdom and medical care?

The application potential of IoT technology in the field of smart medical is very great. Many manufacturers have already realized this. From upstream chip manufacturers to equipment manufacturers to integrators, they are looking for cooperation. I hope that they will all be applied in the smart medical industry. A certain market share.

At present, the medical and health industry presents two trends, that is, the extension of medical services from central hospitals to grassroots hospitals, and the extension of services from hospital-oriented clinical medical treatment to mass homes. Based on this situation, Huawei has launched an end-to-end smart medical solution, based on IOT fully connected platform for medical data collection/exchange, audio and video conferencing, webRTC, ICT business orchestration and other multi-technology capabilities in telemedicine, chronic disease management, etc. Get the actual application in the scene. Help third-party medical terminals and application software vendors to achieve easy development, easy integration, and shorten TTM.

As the core technology provider of the information industry, Intel provides a large number of open and scalable medical IoT solutions, and actively cooperates with various business partners in the industry to explore solutions that can better serve medical institutions. The smart healthcare solutions currently available include mobile medical solutions and big data analytics solutions.

A&S believes that although the impact of IoT technology in the field of wisdom is great, the Internet of Things must be integrated with ICT technology and embedded in medical devices, combined with business characteristics and user needs, in order to play its role, so In the field of smart medical care, upstream and downstream enterprises such as hospital health equipment terminal providers, network solution providers, medical health application software vendors and technology solution integrators should gather their respective strengths to create health with industry partners in an open manner. The industrial ecological chain and the creation of a good industrial ecology are also crucial to promoting the healthy development of smart hospitals.

Microstepping is a method of controlling stepper motors, typically used to achieve higher resolution or smoother motion at low speeds.
Micro Stepper Motor divides each full step into smaller steps to help smooth out the motor`s rotation, especially at slow speeds. 
Microstepping is achieved by using pulse-width modulated (PWM) voltage to control current to the motor windings. The driver sends two voltage sine waves, 90 degrees out of phase, to the motor windings. While current increases in one winding, it decreases in the other winding. This gradual transfer of current results in smoother motion and more consistent torque production than full- or half-step control.
