From April 19 to 20, the 2025 China Medical Development Conference focusing on “artificial intelligence (AI) + medical care” was held in Beijing. The conference gathered top experts from multiple disciplines such as mathematics, artificial intelligence, medicine, public health, and pharmacy to jointly discuss the innovation path and development direction of the deep integration of artificial intelligence and medicine.
The 2025 China Medical Development Conference was held in Beijing from April 19 to April 20, where the integration of artistic intelligence (AI) and healthcare has become the center of attention. The event brought together leading voices in mathematics, AI, medicine, public health and pharmacy to discuss innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and policy directions to drive the medicine sector forward in the AI age.

【Knowledge Points】
Traditional medicine mainly focuses on doctor experience and manual diagnosis, relies on manual recording and routine examination, has a long decision-making cycle and limited personalization. The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has enabled medical services to become intelligent and efficient. The innovation of AI not only significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of medical processes, but also helps to early detection and more effective treatment of complex diseases, provides key technical support for the global medical system to cope with complex health challenges, promotes the accelerated transformation of modern medical care, and becomes an important leader in the development of new quality productivity. In recent years, artificial intelligence applications are being accelerated in terms of emergency treatment, remote consultation, examination and testing, clinical auxiliary diagnosis decision-making, public health services, hospital management, etc., and it has become a consensus among all parties to promote the upgrading of people’s health services through “Internet +”.
In November 2024, the National Health Commission and other departments issued the “Reference Guidelines for the Application Scenarios of Artificial Intelligence in the Health and Health Industry”, proposing to actively promote the innovative development of the “Artificial Intelligence +” application in the health and health industry. The guidelines cover 84 specific scenarios in four categories: medical service management, grassroots public health services, health industry development and medical teaching and scientific research, and strive to give full play to the advantages of artificial intelligence in all aspects. In recent years, the country has strongly supported the “Artificial Intelligence +” action, and continuously improved the efficiency and accuracy of diagnosis and treatment through standardized construction, cross-institutional data sharing and vertical model application development. From the Da Vinci surgical robot to the GPT-4 consultation system, artificial intelligence is moving from “tools” to “partners”.
