China International Medical Equipment Fair 2018 taking place in Shanghai, eastern China, during April 11-14 reflected the takeoff of smart medical care in China in 2018, according to Digitimes Research.

First-tier public hospitals and private ones have adopted smart pharmaceutical administration and AI (artificial intelligence)-assisted procedures in medical care, and smart ward and smart medical logistics solutions will be applied to hospitals next, Digitimes Research indicated.

As the China government boosts integration of medical care resources in the same regions and management in chronic diseases, local hospitals and clinics increasingly use cloud computing in medical care operation as well as set up physiological measurement units and adopt portable biometric devices.
