February 4-5 may, Beijing Sigma Center ushered in the "Microsoft Research Asia 2010 digital health and medical seminars (Microsoft Research Asia eHealth Workshop2010)", "digital health and medical" became the focus of discussions on the spot.

150 guests from all over the world, experts and scholars, to take this opportunity to share the results of the work, and through the Exchange to explore new opportunities for cooperation. The Assembly also invited the experts from large research institutions to demonstrate the application of computer technology to improve medical services in the next 10 years of research results.

Faced with the Conference organizers, Dr. Zhang Yi Chao said: "the potential of cooperation is the driving force for this meeting."

Whether it is dedicated to speech recognition technology-technology strategy Director Dr. Zhang Yi Zhao (see left), or focus on multimedia analysis technology of Li Peng, Ph.d., Vice President, Microsoft Research Asia from different areas of computer scientists, are jointly committed to using information technology to improve the health of humanity.

Dr. Zhang Yi Chao said: "our goal is: regardless of the business community, academia, from medical research areas related to different people together, to promote dialogue, let them know and understand each other, thereby creating new opportunities for cooperation.

We firmly believe that technology will enhance human health, play a more important role. ”

"I used to work in the field of speech recognition", Dr. Zhang went on to say that "the earliest speech recognition technology users, actually require interpretation of the medical reports of doctors, such as t

he need to read x-rays and entry of Radiology doctors medical report. Extract information from data techniques, such as natural language processing and machine learning, it can be applied to the medical field because the data from the medical point of view, these areas are very similar with the medical field. ”

Dr. Li Peng (see right) is the Microsoft Research Asia, Vice President, media Computing group leader, he used the example of traditional Chinese medicine to explain his work in the field of multimedia analysis and improve links between the health care work.

"In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, experienced TCM will source through physical contact know.

The body can be seen as a system, I have been thinking that if we collected a large number of related medical data, is available from their symptoms to infer their physical condition? "

Some human and natural concern deepened in this regard to calculate interest.

" On the one hand, this also age-related, with age, your relatives or your own number to hospital will become more frequent, you will start to realize the importance of health. "Dr. Zhang said:" I've never known as the ' healthcare ' end. At present in the United States, a 75-year-old is likely to go jogging or playing tennis for hip replacement surgery. This a few years ago and perhaps impossible. Because of our improved treatment technologies, and people's expectations are increasing. Imagine that one day, our technology enables people to live to be 120 years old, but has a new therapy or methods to allow people to live to be 150 years old, our expectations are also increasing. People can never be satisfied. ”

"Digital health and medical" seminars to create opportunity and Microsoft on the future of forces, including the construction of the "health solutions research group" construction, Microsoft is committed to use the software innovation to promote the dev

elopment of the world health.

The seminar also pay special attention to the health services sector in the upcoming changes.

A number of trends such as: efficiency and effectiveness and continuous improvement; particularly the aging society, use technology to collect data and improve health standards; use of computer analysis capabilities to assist doctors work, driving the change to come.

"We believe," said Dr Zhang Yi Chao, "interdisciplinary joint efforts resulted in significant advances.

”

This workshop also established a technical poster session, including data mining, mobile devices and sensors, natural language processing, signal processing, data visualization and medical imaging technology and extensive research in the field of technology posters in this get display.

Dr Lee talks about his research focus is to promote the progress of the case for the medical sector:

"We are carrying out a large number of multimedia content analysis.

We utilize multimedia data to analyze its low level features. Then extracted semantic annotation of Humanities. High level features can be used to get from the original data more useful information. ”

"Medical areas with extremely approximate.

We use different sensor to collect human data, and we also use environment sensor and environmental data. We put all the data together, low level data itself may not very meaningful, but if you join our applied to multimedia data like data analysis, we can extract useful high-level information that can help patients understand their medical problems or help doctors query records. ”

This workshop from Microsoft Research Asia University Relations Group Senior Manager MiranLee organization.

Microsoft Research Asia Dean hung xiaowen Institute leadership opening, on their studies. Zhang Yi Chao-Li Peng, and Zhu Wen Wu, Ph.d., discusses the Research Institute of related projects, Vice President of the song of Roland summarizes her team in the University and collaboration. The next meeting of 12 lecture. In addition, Dr. Zhang Yi Chao-closing statement before published also presided on electronic health challenges and opportunities of round-table discussions.

Symposium organizers hope that this seminar provides the benefit of Microsoft Research Asia and throughout the medical research community.

"Our Research Institute Fellows will have many opportunities to engage in and medical-related research," said Dr Zhang, "if they can learn more about the issues and areas of opportunity.

Ultimately, we want to promote more meaningful cooperation. If you are a professor and a member of the Japan Korea Professor found them in some way have cooperation prospects, this would be a good result. ”

All the experts of the common wish is to promote the progress of the world health career, looking forward to the day of an early arrival! "

our goal is to save lives," Zhang, Ph.d., concluded that "basically, we measure our own standards are: ability to create in 5 years, 10-year time period, improving people's health system and method".
