An electronic appointment or an online doctor’s consultation is already available. The main trend in modern healthcare has become the creation of medical ecosystems. This is a digital space where medical institutions, research centers, pharmaceutical companies, diagnostic laboratories and consumers interact – people who want to receive medical services at a convenient time and in a form convenient for themselves.
Investing in health and longevity
The Medtech Medical Ecosystem is an international project that combines offline and online services. The projected volume of investments in Medtech in 2021 will amount to $30 billion. Questions about the possibilities and prospects of the Ecosystem are answered by the project manager, Doctor of Medical Sciences Сhoi En Djun, Professor at MMU, member of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the Russian Association of Oncologists and the European Society of Medical Oncologists (ESMO).
Dr. Сhoi En Djun is the chief physician and leading specialist of the Center for Eastern and European Medicine in Moscow, the author of 4 inventions, 102 scientific and educational works. Dr. Choi is one of the developers of universal screening tests for early cancer diagnosis. The technology of noninvasive cancer screening has successfully passed the first stage of testing and has found practical application. Cancer screening can be used to detect cancer at an early stage with an accuracy of 86%.
Fast diagnosis, effective therapy and full patient support
Сhoi En Djun: The Medtech ecosystem is a full-fledged health care service. We create a comfortable environment where you can get access to high-quality medical services in digital and traditional format. Now the Ecosystem includes three interrelated blocks: SMART analyses, diagnosis of diseases and monitoring of health indicators. The functioning of the ecosystem is provided by artificial intelligence (AI or AI) with big data processing (BIG DATA).
SMART analyses – diagnostics in 5 minutes without leaving home
Сhoi En Djun: SMART-analyses are a fundamentally new diagnostic method without invasive intervention based on saliva samples. Patients receive results in a few minutes. With the help of biochemical and molecular diagnostics, more than 100 diseases, both hereditary and somatic, can be detected.
Other studies can be performed in the Ecosystem, for example, virtual biopsy, gastroscopy and colonoscopy. We use technological solutions that significantly simplify the lives of doctors and patients. Instead of a painful biopsy, a spectral analysis of tissues can be done on a tomograph, and ultrasound data can be obtained using a smartphone or tablet with a sensor system.
An innovative method of cancer diagnosis with an accuracy of 86%
Сhoi En Djun: We have developed a unique method for the diagnosis of oncological diseases – noninvasive oncoscreening by saliva. It allows you to determine the presence or absence of a tumor in the human body with an accuracy of 86%. The essence of the analysis is to search the DNA biomaterial for cancer cells that can be detected even before the symptoms of the disease develop.
The method is suitable for the diagnosis of most known types of cancer, and its reliability has been confirmed by the protocols of European cancer centers. We are currently working on the next stage of the technology. Our goal is to learn how to determine the degree of cancer and the localization of the tumor.
Fast and accurate analysis on COVID-19
Сhoi En Djun: The COVID-19 saliva test is another innovative diagnostic method that we offer. The accuracy of the method is 80%, which is confirmed by the research of an independent laboratory at the Covid Center in Abu Dhabi (UAE). For reference, the reliability of PCR tests does not exceed 60%.
Diagnosis and treatment at the digital level
Сhoi En Djun: Many people expect from medicine the same level of digital service that exists in other industries. Ideally, they want to solve their problems through a “one window”. A person submits a request, they “take him by the hand” and help: they make an appointment, arrange a consultation with a doctor, prescribe tests, prescribe medications, monitor the results of therapy, and so on.
The Medtech ecosystem works on the principle of “one window” and makes the help convenient, personalized and transparent. Information about the patient is accumulated in a single database and updated in a timely manner. Data can be transferred to the database from any diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, for example, from wearable personal sensors or from equipment used in intensive care wards.
Diagnostics in the Ecosystem takes place with the participation of artificial intelligence. Neural networks know what questions to ask the patient and how to use a single database of medical knowledge, and also know how to analyze huge amounts of information. With the help of AI, the doctor makes a more accurate diagnosis and does it faster. During the treatment period, artificial intelligence monitors the patient’s condition 24/7. He can decipher the results of tests, monitor medical appointments and remind you about taking the drug.
Disease prevention – reducing risks
Сhoi En Djun: We are developing the direction of preventive medicine, because we understand that people want to be healthy, not to be treated. Users of the Medtech Ecosystem can get an individual genetic passport – their own DNA database. With the help of a passport, you can find out if a person has a predisposition to hereditary, mental and general somatic diseases, determine a possible reaction to products and medications. As a result, a person learns about their own risk zones and, with the help of preventive medicine doctors, can take up prevention in order to avoid the development of the disease.
About Ecosystem Partners
Сhoi En Djun: Even the largest company is not able to implement such a large-scale project alone. Collaboration with IT companies, research laboratories, suppliers of medicines and medical equipment is required. Retailers, banking and insurance companies can become our partners. The ecosystem simplifies the interaction of the doctor with the patient and at the same time acts as an aggregator of goods and services of partners.
In the future, we want to create an omnichannel Ecosystem that covers all spheres of life. Each user will have access to the services of a personal doctor, nutritionist and trainer. Based on user experience, AI will offer personalized solutions for choosing clothes, travel, entertainment, financial services. This list can be continued indefinitely.
Caring for loved ones
In addition, AI will perform a very important social function – to communicate with people who feel lonely for various reasons. Older people feel loneliness most acutely. Virtual interlocutors help to cope with longing and other negative emotions. They adjust to the mood of a person, talk to him, joke and even play intellectual games. Yes, they will not replace live communication by 100%, but they can improve emotional state and health. The ecosystem will take care of elderly parents and children if you find yourself away from them and cannot communicate often.
