Abstract

 This study aims to explore the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the context of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, with a view for promoting the top-level design and rapid layout of hospital-orientated AI application, in order to provide a new path for the Healthy China Initiative. Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, China has conducted epidemic prevention and control using the strength of the whole country, and simultaneously developed global cooperation by donating medical supplies, sending medical teams, and sharing treatment experience and high technologies. In fighting against the epidemic, the front-line medical staff has obtained valuable experience in medical AI application. AI has played an outstanding role in the anti-epidemic frontline and indicates the urgent and strategic demands for medical AI. After reviewing the medical AI application status and development direction, we suggest that China should make a comprehensive layout of AI application in hospitals nationwide and cultivate a prosperous medical AI ecology, thus to lay a key foundation for future hospital construction in China. To this end, the government should make an overall top-level design for medical AI application and shift forward interventions so as to change the passive situation. It also should scientifically coordinate resources, strengthen hardware construction, improve the databank, and improve the guarantee system for professional teams. Armed with medical AI, hospitals can fight against large-scale acute respiratory infectious diseases with better efficiency.
