Increasing the financing of over 100 million yuan, what will this medical AI vanguard rely on the second half of the AI?
Author:Arterial network Time:2022.08.31
Affected by various factors, the popularity of investment and financing in the medical and health field in the first half of 2022 compared with last year. According to arterial orange data, in the first half of 2022, a total of 1,598 financing incidents occurred in the global medical and health industry, a decrease of about 43%during the peak of the first half of 2021, and the overall calmness. Among them, digital medical treatment has declined even more.
In such a major environment, Fosun Xingmai announced the completion of a new round of strategic investment by Fosun Pharmaceutical, Chinese Medicine, Jin and Anting Industry. There is no doubt that this makes it a step step in the competition in the second half of the medical AI.
The arterial network learned that, as the first project that focused on medical artificial intelligence, "software, hardware, operation and medical services" as one of the "software, hardware, operation and medical services" projects, Fosun Pulse has built a multi -product matrix framework and penetrated into different details. In the field, break the boundaries of medical technology and promote the implementation of AI medical technology. At the same time, the powerful "industry -university -research" strength has continued to be approved by national key projects such as the "Ministry of Science and Technology National Key R & D Plan", "National Nature Key Project", "Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Unveiling the List", "One Four Five -Year". Fosun Xingmai has become a rising rising rising rising rising on the AI medical track with its flexible business model and coordinating Fosun ecological resources, which has received widespread attention in the industry.
How can this low -key AI company be able to get a large amount of financing against the market, and what experience can be used for the industry? The arterial network understands this and hopes to reference for the industry.
AI is fierce in the second half of the game, and the ability of commercialization is the key
Looking back at the development of the domestic AI imaging industry, it is not difficult to find that "obtaining permits" is only the beginning of commercialization, not the only measure of successful commercialization. At present, the mainstream AI image products have basically solved the problem of the AI landing application, but products that can deeply participate in the diagnosis and treatment process are still quite rare. The reason is that on the one hand, the AI solution with software as the main manifestation is subject to medical ethics and workflows, and there are many difficulties in commercialization. On the other hand, most of the current AI products are mainly focused on improving the efficiency of a single department. For The overall efficiency and income improvement of the hospital's overall efficiency are not obvious, and it is difficult to bring the user's overall recognition.
This makes the current situation of poor commercialization of medical artificial intelligence and generally "difficulty in charging". As a result, the industry has also invested inverted and output -artificial intelligence companies have raised billions of financing, but only in exchange for unsatisfactory 10 million income. Although technological progress does require a lot of resources, and it also needs to reflect the recognition of technology through high valuations, for the sustainable development of the industry, perhaps the entire industry should reflect on this. What deviations exist in the current business model? Is there any good way to break through? In this regard, Fosun apricot pulse gives his answer.
Inherited the DNA of the Fosun Pharmaceutical Group of the medical and health industry, and its in -depth accumulation in the fields of major health, medical and health, Fosun Xingmai has explored the model innovation since its establishment. Multi -product matrix and "AI+X" product form to open the market.
The so -called "AI+X" is the characteristics of the strong adhesion of AI. The combination of AI with X factin, medical equipment, consumables, drugs, informatization systems, and medical services The combination is implemented; thereby enhancing the value of the traditional medical industry, truly solving the needs of patients, doctors and hospitals, and breaking through the problem of difficulty in AI charges.
According to He Chuan, the chairman of Fosun Global and Chairman of Fosun Xingmai, Fosun Xingmai is in the stage of commercialization. The composite business model of its software and hardness, SaaS and software sales has begun to achieve results. It is relying on Fosun ecology to extend outward, and cooperates with multiple governments to achieve "landing, replication, effect".
Soft and hard integrated to create differentiated competition tracks
Compared with the application mode of pure software, the model of software and hardware and software service has high performance and adaptability. It is obviously favored by medical institutions in practical applications. However, there is quite a lot of room for improvement in the entire industry. Fosun apricot veins use their "hardware" solutions to pursue the industry characteristics of "hardware to make hard money".
Fosun Xingmai firmly believes that the trend of domestic medical devices and high -end equipment, choose independent research and development hardware, and equipped with the same independent AI auxiliary diagnostic software and information management systems to create a three -in -one solution. In 2021, the "Guidance Standards for Government Procurement and Imported Products" jointly released by relevant departments proved the premium of Fosun apricot veins: the "Standard" clearly stipulates the proportion requirements of government institutions (institutions) to procure domestic medical devices and instruments. Among them, all 137 kinds of medical devices are required to purchase domestic production 100%; 12 medical devices require 75%of domestic production; 24 kinds of medical devices require 50%of domestic production; 5 medical devices require 25%to purchase domestic production.
In terms of selecting market entry, Fosun apricot veins aim at the pathological field. As a "gold standard" for tumor diagnosis, its market has a lot of imagination: the global market space exceeds 40 billion US dollars, and it also has a scale of nearly 40-50 billion yuan in China. Taking the cervical cancer market as an example, the number of women in the country is about 100 million people each year, the toll items of screening are about 60 yuan, and the charging items of hospital clinics are about 200 yuan. It is estimated that there will be nearly 10 billion yuan in market capacity throughout the year.
Pathological requirements for slicing images are high, and instruments that can ensure stable production and imaging standards are the basis for developing AI pathological algorithms. Therefore, in response to the pathological product line, Fosun Xingmai launched an integrated solution of software and hardware -Xingmai "Mirror Ling". Xingmai "Mirror Spirit" in the industry's first pathological soft hardware integrated system not only includes digital micro -image scanners and image management systems suitable for hospitals at all levels; With the global leading algorithm scientist team, the development of artificial intelligence products on the basis of digitalization is realized; eventually meet the multi -scenario needs of slicing management, digital diagnosis, scientific research teaching, quality control management, department management, and remote pathology, and empower the pathological department to comprehensively upgrade and change and change Essence
It is reported that its pathological product line has covered the application of respiratory virus, lung cancer cell testing, breast cancer FISH fluorescent and bladder cancer detection, and builds a solid competitive barriers in the field of AI pathology.
Professor Liu Dongge, chairman of the Pathology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and the director of the Department of Pathology of Beijing Hospital, highly evaluated Xingmai's "Mirror Ling". He believes that the pathology doctors in my country are relatively insufficient, and the differences between urban and rural areas in the region are relatively large. Digital pathological construction is very important. This system can better solve the current medical pain points, better serve the majority of patients, and improve the medical level. Serving healthy China.
It is believed that in the context of the country's encouragement of domestic replacement, the leading domestic medical device leading enterprises will enjoy the double dividends of the industry's high -speed growth and domestic replacement. We see that Lianying Medical, the leading enterprise of domestic medical imaging equipment, has recently been launched, and has made great progress all the way. Fosun Pulse, which has independent research and development capabilities, and the international leading products of products, may also have the opportunity to become the next "joint film" for digital pathology.
SaaS service is the first to run through, breaking the "difficult fee" spell
SaaS is a mature model in many industries. However, how to form SaaS products and integrate with medical AI and truly landing have always been the industry's difficulty. The SaaS model of Fosun apricot is an innovative product combining medical AI, hardware, service, operation and other factors. At present, this model helps hospitals to improve operating efficiency and create sustainable revenue growth.
The SaaS model of Fosun Pulse originated from the cooperation with Foshan Foshan Foshan Zencheng Hospital (hereinafter referred to as "Foshan Zen Medicine"), the first ranking of non -public medical institutions. The cooperation combines medical AI technology with Foshan Zen medicine medical service capabilities to form a new model of professional departments. In addition to greatly improving the efficiency of the department, it also empowers his hospital through remote forms to access Fosun Xingmai SaaS SaaS SaaS Medical institutions for services provide value -added services such as remote reading, talent echelon construction, quality control management, and new technologies. This model is centered on Foshan Zen Medicine. It has radiated nearly a hundred grass -roots medical institutions in the Greater Bay Area, and enhances the availability of medical services in the overall area. At the same time, Fosun Xingmai has also obtained a credible cloud national standard service certification to ensure that it has excellent data security guarantee capabilities.
Based on the experience of the private hospital system area of the Greater Bay Area, Fosun apricot pulse has been further expanded in the public hospital system through government cooperation. Medical institutions, realize the "big hands holding small hands", solve the pain points of "have no physician" in the grass -roots medical institutions, greatly increase the patient's consultation rate, which is in line with my country's promotion of "provincial high -quality medical resources expansion and sinking construction", strengthen county medical medicine Great needle built by the body.
Remote empowerment of grass -roots medical care for government cooperation templates
Since 2019, the state has improved the service capabilities of grass -roots medical institutions as an important strategy. Under this strategic guidance, all over the country will improve the county's medical service capabilities as an important task to supplement the shortcomings of basic public services. It is clearly proposed to form a medical community in the county, and gradually realize the sharing of medical resources in the region to further enhance grassroots service capabilities capabilities , Promote the formation of the first -level diagnosis, two -way referral, rapid division of treatment, and upper and lower linkage.
Chen Qiyu, executive director and co -CEO of Fosun International, said that under the current trend of population structure, the contradiction between the structured supply and demand of medical services, especially the contradictions of uneven urban and rural distribution. How to solve this unevenness is a problem that government departments, medical circles, industries, and investment circles need to discuss and cooperate together. AI technology is a good auxiliary means, which can not only assist doctors, but also become assistants of medical institutions, medical institution managers and patients' self -management system, thereby improving the accessibility of high -quality medical resources, and maximizing medical services Fairness.
Fosun Xingmai has successfully cooperated with Xuzhou Tongshan Health and Health Committee with its unique operating service of the Digital Smart Professional Division to connect 31 medical institutions in the district to create a regional imaging medical union. The model of diagnosis+central hospital diagnosis+core hospital quality control "has changed the status quo of" equipment lack of physicians "in grassroots hospitals, accelerating the implementation of class diagnosis and treatment, and realizing that" minor illnesses do not leave the town, the serious illness can not be out of the zone. "
The project helps the region's medical institutions to establish a unified quality control standard, promote resource sharing and reduce repeated inspections. During the landing period, the number of pilot hospitals doubled, and it is expected to save nearly 10 million yuan in fiscal expenditure. The cost of directly borne by patients will be reduced by about 80 million yuan.
Professor Liu Shiyuan, chairman of the Radi Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, has cooperated with Fosun Xingmai for a long time and witnessed the development of Fosun Xingmai. He expressed his views on this: "China’ s scanning volume of radiation images every year , And the growth of radiologists is only 4.1%; in addition, there are no doctors in the radiology department of grass -roots hospitals, which leads to many grass -roots medical equipment idle and not well applied. A series of artificial intelligence products and the listing of information solutions based on the medical disciplinary community have greatly improved the work efficiency of the radiology department of the hospital. At the same time, they empower the grass -roots medical institutions and make full use of medical resources to achieve the goal of national hierarchical diagnosis and treatment. " In terms of 5G long -range medical care, in order to promote the standardized application of ultrasound at the grassroots level, Fosun Xingmai collaborated with China Unicom and Ruijin Hospital "Ruisheng Zhiyuan -5G Smart Ultrasonic Remote Diagnosis Platform" The level of ultrasound diagnosis of grass -roots hospitals can enjoy the ultrasonic imaging examination and diagnosis from the three -level hospital in remote areas, "no villages and no villages". This is also an important practice of its AI+X differentiated competition.
Professor Zhou Jianqiao, Ultrasound Department of Ruijin Hospital, said that ultrasound equipment is widely distributed in China, but ultrasound doctors are seriously lacking. Different from radiation images, ultrasound images need to completely rely on the scanning method of ultrasonic doctor. Ruijin Hospital and Fosun Xingmai cooperate with AI+ultrasound as the starting point to focus on cross -independent innovation of medical workers, creating "5G remote transmission, intelligent diagnosis and treatment equipment, medical care, medical care Information technology and artificial intelligence auxiliary diagnosis "is the 5G++smart medical empowerment system for the starting point; and strive to achieve a 5G+smart medical service platform with the goal of building a national medical ultrasonic image smart center to improve the integration of the quality of smart ultrasound service quality in the Yangtze River Delta The development strategy will reach the goal of reaching the national standardization and intelligent integration demonstration effect in the future; through 5G+smart diagnostic+specialist medical courses, it will be expanded to provide comprehensive service support for medical, teaching, research, management, and services. Essence
Multi -subject room landing realization MDT diagnosis and treatment system
The success of various business models of Fosun apricot veins. In addition to the support of Fosun's ecological resources and accurate market demand judgment, its multi -product matrix has also played a significant role. Most AI products are only applicable to the improvement of the single department, but the three major AI auxiliary product lines of radiation images, pathological images and ultrasonic images of Fosun apricot veins have completed the complete production and research layout of "one horizontal and one vertical". "One horizontal" refers to the horizontal opening of the video department, pathology, ultrasound, respiratory, cardiology, and oncology department, and the first is to cover the diagnosis and treatment of "early screening, early diagnosis, early treatment, follow -up" disease diagnosis and treatment. Process, realize the use of medical AI technology across medical and clinical departments.
Taking one of Fosun Xingmai Star Products -the intelligent detection system of the lung multi -disease types as an example, the system passes through the lung AI imaging auxiliary diagnosis, lung AI intelligent follow -up, artificial intelligence microscope all -in -one machine, the world's first tracheal AI AI -Rose intelligent auxiliary analysis system and artificial intelligence PD-L1 assessment system can achieve full-process auxiliary diagnosis and treatment of early sieve, follow-up management, fast on-site biopsy evaluation, and efficacy evaluation. Process coverage provides doctors with comprehensive clinical information and reference.
This integrated solution has been welcomed by users, which meets the needs of multidisciplinary consultations. It can provide high -efficiency digital tools for MDT diagnosis and treatment to provide MDT diagnosis and treatment for various departments such as video departments, pathology, and respiratory departments. Optimized.
One -stop lung intelligent diagnosis and treatment product from clinical to the medical technology department
The "Heart Shadow" of Xingmai is another star product line of Fosun Xingmai. It runs across the radiation image department, cardiology, cardiac surgery, and rehabilitation department, providing an integrated MDT solution for cardiovascular disease. Apricot "Heart Shadow" first assists the radiology department for intelligent treatment of coronary CT images, and automatically labels anatomical information such as coronary atherosclerosis, lesions, and stenosis. This important physiological information is used to accurately assist in -mind/surgery decision -making treatment plan with dual information on anatomy & physiology. The unique virtual bracket and virtual bridge technology of Xingmai "Heart Shadow" will also assist the radiology of the radiology department. Objectives for precision treatment. During the heart recovery process after surgery, the "heart shadow" of apricot veins can also continue to evaluate the health status of patients with cardiovascular patients.
At the same time, Xingmai's "heart shadow" can be completed by the medical staff in the hospital. It does not require engineers to intervene, so that the system can quickly deploy at three hospitals and grass -roots medical institutions at all levels, making the calculation results and surgical solution design more professional. In addition, all data calculations and circulation of the system are completed locally in the hospital. There is no need to be discharged and has excellent data security.
One -stop cardiovascular intelligent diagnosis and treatment product from clinical to the medical technology department
This system plays a positive role in the implementation of health poverty alleviation and hierarchical diagnosis and treatment in remote areas of Guizhou. In 2020, Fosun Xingmai cooperated with the Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital to achieve MDT consultation with 15 district hospitals of 15 districts and counties in AI, help district and county hospitals to establish a rapid standardized AI image assist diagnosis and FFR analysis and surgical planning. The maximum integration of medical resources and advantages in poor areas. Within a few months, AI helped more than a thousand patients with coronary heart disease. MDT remote consultation based on FFR analysis and surgical solutions was diagnosed with crown heart disease. Director Zhang Jiazheng, Department of Radiology, Shanghai First People's Hospital, said that about 11 million people in domestic coronary heart disease were about 11 million. Apricot "Heart Shadow" is based on coronary CTA's artificial intelligence cardiovascular solution. The number of patients is reduced by 10-20%to avoid waste of medical resources.
As a leading domestic enterprise driven by AI technology, integrating "software, hardware, operation and medical services", Fosun Xingmai has achieved very few products in the industry that can lay out in many fields, software and hardware integration, diagnosis and treatment, diagnosis and treatment Combined with the real landing. Its unique "AI+X" model, and the blessing of Fosun ecological resources, make it form a product force and commercialization ability that is different from others. At the same time, Fosun's long -term industrial operation experience has also made Fosun Xingmai pay special attention to the efficiency of the use of funds. Since its establishment in 2018, Fosun Xingmai has achieved the current commercialization results at the cost of only more than 200 million yuan. Compared with the investment of billions of dollars in the industry, it reflects extremely high operating efficiency. These may be the key to the large amount of financing.
Through this round of financing, after obtaining strategic support provided by industries such as Gold and Anting Industry in China Medicine, Fosun Xingmai will have more powerful resource aggregation capabilities. In the future, it will provide more quality integrated solutions for industrial partners and medical institutions through wider channels.
"Operating an enterprise is a process of long -distance running, dedicated to leaning ice. We will always insist on doing the right thing, insist on doing difficult things, insist on doing things that need time accumulation, continue to maintain entrepreneurial passion, create value for shareholders and society, realize the realization of the society, realize the realization AI creates a healthy and happy life of 1 billion families. "He Chuan said.
From the "display concept" in the first half to the transformation of the "display strength" in the second half, the medical image AI itself will also iterate and upgrade quickly, and its development will be jumping rather than linear. What medical imaging AI companies can laugh to the end on the AI track? We wait and see.
