Yuan Yaxiang: Cross -cooperation between mathematics and health circles. First of all, we must learn the language of the other party

The Yangtze River Daily Da Wuhan client August 5th. "Mathematicians like to use abstract symbols. Medicalists often talk about professional terms; to promote cross -cooperation between mathematical and healthy circles, they must first learn each other's language and fully communicate. "On August 5th, the World Health Academician Forum in 2022 was held in Wuhan in the form of a whole process. Yuan Yaxiang, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and researcher at the School of Mathematics and Systems of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that mathematics is very useful in the field of health. Strengthen cross -cooperation in the two areas.

At the forum on the day, Academician Yuan Yaxiang delivered a speech on the title of "strengthening discipline crossing and promoting the application of mathematics in the health field". He introduced that the solution of many problems in the health field can be attributed to scientific issues; and the final solution of scientific issues requires a good mathematical method.

For example, in preventing health care, dynamic monitoring of personnel health, analysis and comparison of physical examination data, prediction of physical condition, etc., all need to use mathematical models; mathematical methods also need to be used in drug design and research and development; In the macro layout of medical and health resources, mathematical demonstrations and methods are also needed, such as hospital doctors and nurses, the inventory management and deployment of drugs, and the configuration and dispatch of emergency station ambulances.

In addition, the application of medical big data, artificial intelligence auxiliary diagnosis and treatment, medical image, and big data modeling of major illnesses, and mathematics are everywhere.

Academician Yuan Yaxiang mentioned that in 2021, the Ministry of Science and Technology launched a key special project of mathematics and application, layout many research projects in mathematics and other fields. He hopes that in the future, he can also lay out in the field of health to promote cross -cooperation in mathematics and health.

"Not only must the language of the mathematical and health care, we can fully communicate and understand each other; but also pay attention to the cultivation of talents." Academician Yuan Yaxiang suggested that when cultivating mathematicians, you cannot simply ask for accomplishments in mathematics. We must open interest during the course settings, and learn more about the basic knowledge of other disciplines; when scientists in other fields, scientists must also strengthen the training of mathematics to allow mathematical skills, knowledge and methods to promote the development of disciplines.

Academician Yuan Yaxiang also encouraged experts for the mathematical and health circles: "Now is the good era of scientific research. We must cherish opportunities, strengthen cross -cooperation, and promote the application of mathematical achievements in the medical field." )
