China’s medical service system has been focusing on treatment, which forms public hospitals’ core business while revenue
all comes from treatment services. But with the gradual formation and implementation of “Health China” National Strategy,
the development of ageing population and the emphasis on health by China society, “preventive care, home care and
personal care before hospital admission, and rehabilitation care after hospital discharge” will become new focuses strongly
supported by governments and society.
In this presentation, some innovation related to new health service model by leveraging internet of things (IoT) technologies
will be presented. Some of our work related to sleep monitoring, dietary monitoring and exercise assessment with IoT support
will also be shared.
