In the exhibition hall of Heibin Intelligence, journalists were first attracted by a remote ultrasonic robot. The robot uses a flexible and safe seven-degree-of-freedom robotic arm, and can accurately represent the scanning techniques of ultrasound experts 1:1, and experts only need to sit on a small remote operator, can remotely operate the robot's scanning probe to examine the patient. In addition, it is also adapted to the interaction function of doctors and patients, and can transmit the picture of the patient side and ultrasound equipment to the doctor side, and the doctor can view the patient's situation and make diagnosis, which enables patients in remote and grass-roots areas to enjoy high-quality medical resources at their doorstep, breaking the geographical restrictions of ultrasonic medical testing. It is the scene innovation and deep integration of robot and artificial intelligence technology in the ultrasound industry.
An autonomous ultrasonic robot prototype performs ultrasonic scanning
Next, Wang Shuyan, the brand leader of Hebin Intelligent, introduced an intelligent ultrasonic AI box to reporters, which can be connected with the ultrasonic equipment of the hospital, and the detection data of the ultrasonic equipment is transmitted to the AI box, which significantly improves the work efficiency and inspection accuracy of the hospital. For new doctors, the AI box has more important significance, they can complete a scan without missing diagnosis according to the instructions of the AI box, which greatly improves the diagnosis and treatment level of doctors with low seniority. At present, due to the shortage of ultrasound doctors and the long training cycle, many ultrasound examination needs are suppressed, and this smart ultrasound box can shorten the training cycle of ultrasound doctors, so that young doctors can quickly get started.
In addition, the company has further developed an autonomous ultrasonic robot. Autonomous ultrasonic robots can accumulate mechanical division of labor through AI algorithms, learn the operation techniques of experts, and fully realize autonomous operation, thus reducing the dependence of ultrasonic detection on manpower. Imagine that in the future, inspection patients only need to walk into the nearby clinic, they can experience the ultrasonic examination services provided by highly intelligent robots with advanced AI technology, autonomous ultrasonic robots accurately find lesions, and patients no longer need to queue up for ultrasound examinations in large hospitals, which will greatly improve the medical experience of patients and relieve the pressure on hospitals at all levels.
"Through the robot, we can plan a better robotic arm movement path, so that ultrasound examination is more perfect, so as to reduce the incidence of missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis." In the future, autonomous robots can also replace ultrasound doctors to complete basic ultrasound screening work and relieve physical fatigue. It allows the sonographer to focus more on the diagnosis of important diseases." Wang Shuyan introduced to reporters.
Talking about why he chose such an innovative scene, Liu Zhen, founder and chairman of Hebin Intelligence, said, "Because my wife is an ultrasound doctor, I understand the pain points of this industry very well, and I know that most sonographers work every day in a state of overload, so many sonographers suffer from occupational diseases." With this technology, we hope to reduce the pressure of sonographers, improve the efficiency and accuracy of examinations, and enable the majority of patients to enjoy more convenient and intelligent medical services.
Remote ultrasonic robot
Last year, Hefei carried out the "double search" activity, which included enterprises on both sides of the supply and demand into the "capacity list" and "opportunity list" to promote effective docking and cooperation between the two sides. This policy provides valuable landing opportunities, application scenarios and strong endorsements for new technologies, and also helps products optimize and iterate continuously in the process of absorbing feedback. "We are not worried about achieving technology innovation from 0 to 1, the problem is how to apply the new technology to the actual scenario, that is, how to go from 1 to 100, to achieve scene innovation." Liu Zhen said.
In line with the original intention of "improving the quality of life with technology" and the love for science and technology, this young company is promoting the development of smart medical industry and striving to realize the application of new technology in more areas of people's livelihood. Hefei City provides a valuable practice platform for innovative enterprises like Hebin Intelligence, and the two sides jointly explore innovation scenarios. In the future, this approach led by scene innovation is likely to be applied in more fields and bring benefits to more people.
