Digital Hospital

Digital Hospital provides large hospitals with a shared, collaborative, and mobile platform. It is dedicated to building an open ecosystem converging Internet and healthcare for more efficient, precise, and intelligent patient experiences and more advanced, sustainable hospitals.

Industry Trends

Rising living standards and an increasing demand for quality medical services have made patient-oriented service models and agile, efficient digital platforms trends in the modern healthcare industry. Technologies such as Internet, cloud computing, big data, and AI ensure that this transformation is within reach.

From silos to integration

Hospitals are gathering data of existing HIS, LIS, and PACS systems to build clinical data centers and integrated platforms. In this way, hospitals can share and exchange information and implement comprehensive process control.

From fixed to mobile

Hospitals are gathering data of existing HIS, LIS, and PACS systems to build clinical data centers and integrated platforms. In this way, hospitals can share and exchange information and implement comprehensive process control.

From isolation to collaboration

Hospitals are collaborating in multiple areas, including working as a medical consortium, establishing a hierarchical treatment system, performing separate treatment on acute and chronic diseases, and implementing two-way referrals. Medical information such as electronic medical records (EMRs) and data centers are shared. Medical resources are used more rationally. In addition, the telemedicine system is used to facilitate inter-department, cross-disease, and inter-hospital collaboration.

Business Challenges

Data silos

Most hospital service systems are constructed vertically and independently, resulting in data exchange difficulties.

Unintelligent services

Unintelligent services struggle to provide satisfying patient experience, efficient workflows, and timely operations data.

Lack of collaboration between departments

Communication and collaboration between doctors from different departments, doctors and patients, and logistics staff are inadequate due to the lack of an efficient platform.

Difficult system maintenance

Isolated systems and a wide variety of application systems and hardware cause hospitals to struggle with system O&M.

Typical Scenarios

Description
HUAWEI CLOUD Digital Hospital fully integrates data sources such as medical information systems, hospital facilities, and medical equipment by leveraging Huawei-developed IaaS and PaaS capabilities. IaaS capabilities cover compute, storage, network, security, and databases. PaaS capabilities cover big data analysis, heterogeneous algorithms, AI, and block chain. Digital Hospital, as a part of the inclusive AI strategy, offers more intelligent, efficient, and cost-effective hospitals. It also enables upper-layer services in the healthcare industry.
- Open architecture
Digital Hospital's open architecture features the decoupling of software and hardware, separating application from data, pooling infrastructure, and microservice software.
- Interconnected facilities
Millions of IoT devices can be connected in real time and a massive amount of data can be exchanged by using the IoT platform and enterprise service bus (ESB).
- Ease of use
Semi-automatic annotation, automatic parameter optimization, and automatic network design enable you to get started quickly without coding. This solution is easy to work with regardless of whether you are an expert or beginner in AI.
- Cloud-edge-device synergy
In certain scenarios, performance can be improved by 5 times, and bandwidth reduced by 30 times. Over 1000 connections are supported using Cloud Container Engine (CCE), which occupies only 6 MB of memory on edge nodes.

Solution Advantages

Resource Sharing

Application systems and platforms in and off the cloud are integrated based on experience in formulating medical data standards and ESB technology compliant with industry standards, such as HL7.

Intelligent Service

Precision medicine, efficient treatment, and optimized decision-making can be achieved with the help of technologies such as voice, semantics, visual angle, and knowledge mapping.

Ease of Use

Easy-to-use Digital Hospital interfaces enable software providers to focus their attention on supporting hospitals rather than worrying about incompatibility. For example, service developers can incubate AI-aided features without coding.

Security and Trustworthiness

Digital Hospital builds a full-stack, secure, and regulation-compliant platform, based on the industry's best practices, national and international standards. This platform and HUAWEI CLOUD have passed grade-4 and grade-3 certification, respectively.
