Ministry of Education Engineering Research Center for Mobile Digital Hospital System

Founded in 2018, Ministry of Education Engineering Research Center for Mobile Digital Hospital System was under the governance of Ministry of Education and administered by Peking University (PKU) and Peking University People's Hospital (PKUPH). In recent years, the center has been devoted to carrying out fundamental research and development in intelligent medical care, intelligent health and seniors’ care; moreover, it has taken clinical research as the core and focused on R&D and applications such as the construction of intelligent hospitals, the development of various structured clinical database in hospitals, intelligent image recognition and intelligent new drug development. PKUPH takes part in the operation and management of this engineering research center, and is responsible for its application and demonstration.

The development and research on various clinical structured databases in hospitals，including special disease databases; the construction of a database of emergency rescue; the construction of a regional health association and intelligent medical management system; the construction of a multi-campus collaborative information system; R & D and promotion of following technologies and products: intelligent first aid, intelligent diagnosis and treatment, rehabilitation treatment and chronic disease management, online health management and health education, intelligent pension services and so on; R & D of biometric recognition technology and its products for emergency patients;large-scale genome recognition, proteomics, metabolomics and other research and new drug development based on big data and artificial intelligence(AI); intelligent image recognition; Clinical decision support and prediction based on AI.

Founded in 1918, Peking University People's Hospital (PKUPH) has had a consistent commitment to providing high-quality patient care, excellent education, and innovative research. It is not only the appointed hospital of the National Health Commission, but also the affiliated hospital and the Second Clinical Medical College of Peking University. The hospital has two campuses: Xizhimen Campus and Baitasi Campus; there is a Tongzhou Campus under construction. PKUPH established the HIS system in 1995, and was the first hospital to apply the system over China. In 2015, the hospital met the Four-Level standard of the National Health Commission's Maturity Evaluation of the Hospital Information Interconnection Standardization.

There are 44 staff members in the center, including 18 scientific researchers, 11 technical staff, and 15 administrative staff; 6 of them are senior and 8 are senior associates; they specialize in clinical medicine, Epidemiology and Health Statistics, computer science, software engineering and computer innovation technology and so on.

Our center has provided several platforms for clinical researchers in recent years, including 1) the clinical research data platform, which has every visit’s clinical data of more than 4.44 million patients; 2) the clinical epidemiology and health statistics service platform, which provides free consulting services in medical research such as scientific research on epidemiological research design and statistical analysis method; 3) four laboratory scientific research and technology sharing platforms, including molecular biology, morphology, medical bioinformatics applications and biological sample library, all of which are fully open to the clinical researchers; 4) the experimental animal service platform, which provided "animal procurement and breeding, animal experiment technology, veterinary care, professional consultation and training" and other services for medical, teaching and research staff in PKUPH.

Wang Tianbing, who is in charge of our center, has been the leader of the National Key Research & Development Project "Data Standardized Technology of Diseases", which devoted to the data governance of hospitals and the standard establishment of the structured clinical data. In recent years, the center has completed the data governance of medical data generated by multiple major clinical information systems of PKUPH, and developed a hospital-level clinical research data platform and otherstructured databases of some special diseases; it also has established a biological sample bank, with 55,250 patients’ sample and 433,289 tubes in total, including more than 20 types of samples, such as tissue, plasma, serum, white blood cells, urine, DNA, amniotic fluid, placenta, feces, bone marrow, and etc. The team members of our center have got many national R&D projects and published several SCI papers in recent years, and among them, the highest impact factor is 11.6 and the average impact factor is 5.14.
