I can extract side effects

Kunming, Sanqing Headquarters.

Xiang Gaofei hurried into the office, hung his dark blue thick down jacket on the hanger, walked quickly to the desk, and browsed the emails on the computer.

The whole movement was done in one go, flowing and flowing, no more than 30 seconds, and there was no extra second in the middle, and even the assistant on the desk didn't even look at the coffee that had just been made.

He has been so busy recently, commuting between the company and major hospitals every day, he doesn't even have time to stop and catch his breath.

Even during the Chinese New Year, he didn't take much vacation. Instead, he took his parents over and stayed at home for three days, and then he stayed in the company all the time.

Since the successful advent of diagnostic AI, Sanqing and the health department have reached a cooperation agreement to test run it in the first batch of eight tertiary hospitals.

After the above-mentioned intentions were discussed, even the red-headed documents were published, and it was his turn to carry out the specific implementation work.

Diagnostic AI is strong, but how to apply it in the hospital's diagnosis and treatment system is not a simple matter. It is not a simple matter of calling an interface in the system.

The specific situation of each hospital is different. It is necessary to communicate closely with each hospital from top to bottom, deeply understand the business logic behind it, collect the needs of personnel at all levels, and medical data, so that we can tailor our services to satisfy customers. .

Only when the specific requirements and business modules are clarified can targeted optimization be carried out. As for the specific software optimization part, it is the most important task.

Xiang Gaofei replied to the email for two hours at a stretch before finishing the work at hand. He picked up the coffee on the table and found that it had cooled down.

"Xiaoping, get me a hot cup." He called the assistant at the door, leaned back, let out a long breath, and the tense brain nerves relaxed.

In less than a minute, a strong aroma of coffee wafted in, and then a middle-aged woman in her early thirties, with a capable temperament and professional attire, walked into the door.

She put the small and exquisite coffee cup on the table, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiang, you are tired. Drink a cup of coffee to refresh yourself. I used the freshly brewed espresso from the coffee machine. I specially made double servings according to your taste." concentrate."

Nodding to Gao Fei, he held it in his hand and took a sip, a strong burnt bitterness mixed with a mellow aroma exploded on his tongue, making his eyelids twitch, and his brain instantly became clear as if he had received an electric shock.

It wasn't until the liquid passed through the throat that the silent taste buds returned to normal and felt a little sourness on both sides of the tongue.

For years, he'd been waking up to this double espresso every day, like breathing water.

When I was studying abroad, my life was really hard. In addition to studying hard every day, I had to work part-time to earn living expenses, and I squeezed out part of the meager living expenses to send home.

Although the school's scholarship is okay, it can only meet basic needs.

The main reason is that his family is too poor, his parents are not in good health, and he still spends so much time studying.

Other classmates can earn money to support their families after graduating from college, but he has to study hard for six or seven years until he graduates with a doctorate, so he can only work more to support his family.

During that time, he slept only four hours a day, relying on non-stop cheap espresso to survive.

Even later, a single shot of espresso was no longer enough, and I still felt sleepy all the time. I could only rely on the bitter stimulation of a double shot of espresso to maintain a trace of clarity in my exhausted body and mind.

Later, I couldn't hold on anymore, so I switched to majoring in computer science. At least I could earn some extra money by programming, and I didn't have to clean the dishes anymore, which was a little easier.

After graduating, he even found a high-paying job, married a wife and had children in Eagle Country, which can be regarded as a success in the worldly sense.

However, the heavy pressure at work also made him breathless. In addition, his talent was not in this area, and he was still not as handy as chemistry, which led to the following series of tragedies.

Fortunately, he turned around and met his senior brother again, so he returned to China and resumed his old career in Sanqing.

Although he turned around and switched to computers, his relationship with medicine is very close, which on the contrary allows him to take advantage of interdisciplinary aspects.

Coupled with the success of his career, he sat on the high position of the president of the branch company of Sanqing Group, and he was finally happy and happy after suffering.

Still, the daily espresso habit persisted.

Especially when he is busy at work, the stimulation of double espresso can always give him a conditioned reflex, and he is instantly full of fighting spirit.

Just like muscle memory, it has become a part of his body and he can never quit.

After Xiang Gaofei drank his coffee, he was instantly revived with full blood, so he called the subordinate in charge of the hospital to inquire about the progress of the business.

"What's the latest news from the hospital?"

The subordinate showed a look of embarrassment on his face, he hesitated to speak.

Xiang Gaofei remained calm and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"

The subordinate smiled wryly: "We have made a lot of improvements according to the needs of the hospital, but after the new version was completed, as soon as we proposed to try it out in the system, the hospital kept refusing it, always worrying a lot, saying that we were worried about this and that, which led to work It’s not going very well.”

"Under our repeated inquiries and questioning, the hospital made a request."

"They hope that we can first connect the diagnostic AI to the guidance robot, and then consider fully connecting it to the hospital's diagnosis and treatment information system after a trial run."

Xiang Gaofei's expression turned ugly. Although he had some understanding of the hospital's conservatism, the complicated situation in this area still exceeded his expectations.

But he didn't get angry, but murmured and said, "Since they said that, they must have their own reasons."

"Maybe it's because I'm afraid of trouble, or I don't have confidence. I feel that the changes are too big at once, and I'm afraid of problems. These are the reasons, and it's understandable."

"As a manufacturer, we must consider from the perspective of customers, do more work, and try to dispel their doubts."

"It's a relatively safe plan to do a fixed-point trial in a certain area first, and then popularize it after it has an effect."

"What do you think about this guidance robot?"

The subordinates were already prepared, and quickly said: "Many hospitals have introduced many medical robots in order to meet the intelligence and informationization."

"The most common among them is the intelligent distribution robot, which mainly undertakes the work of delivering medicine, delivering food into the isolation area, and recycling quilts and medical waste in the hospital area. These robots can automatically open and close doors, take elevators, avoid obstacles, and Functions such as charging do not require human operation.”

"The distribution robot can also replace nurses in delivering meals, medical records and test sheets. It has remote real-time communication capabilities and can communicate directly with nurses and patients. It already has preliminary intelligence."

"Secondly, the guidance robot can provide 24-hour uninterrupted service without manual management. It can provide expert doctor introduction, registration and payment, medical guidance, department guidance, health education, postoperative precautions, intelligent consultation and other functions. It is relatively simple, but it is also in line with the future intelligent development trend of hospitals."

"Each of these eight hospitals has three or four guidance robots, but the robots are not smart enough to complete integrated medical services, and they are in a rather weak situation."

"The hospital is also interested in the high intelligence of Sanqing's diagnostic AI. They want to connect to the guidance robot first and use the waste, so that they will have more confidence in the diagnostic AI."

"Look, this is a detailed work report."

Looking at the report, Xiang Gaofei frowned, but quickly relaxed it and nodded.

"It makes sense. At the software level, the role of diagnostic AI may not be obvious enough, but if it can be combined with hardware such as robots, it will have a shocking effect."

"But will this robot company agree?"

The subordinate nodded and added.

"Don't worry about this. The guidance robots in these hospitals belong to the same third party, Zhengyuan Medical Robot Company. They are very willing. As soon as they heard the request from the hospital, they immediately contacted us and said they hoped that Sanqing It is possible to license diagnostic AI for commercial use and allow them to access their own robots."

"Their strength in hardware is not bad, but the software is average and not smart enough. Many functions need to be manually selected by patients, which is no different from registration machines. In terms of human-computer interaction, it is similar to mobile assistants."

"In this way, after the novelty of the patient is over, they don't like to use it very much. The hospital bought a bunch of these robots, but they didn't have the effect of replacing manual services, and they were very dissatisfied. Get up, in a state of half-dead loss."

"They are now eager to cooperate with Sanqing and take advantage of this trend. If they can combine software and hardware to make a real intelligent medical guidance robot, then this business can be completely revived."

Xiang Gaofei chuckled, very satisfied: "That's not bad, do their robots have detailed technical parameters?"

The subordinate handed over a technical document and explained.

"I have also experienced this guiding robot in the hospital. Its functions are very simple. It can only complete basic inquiries, guidance, and registration functions. It can't do anything else."

"Their robots are divided into three styles, and they are all similar in function. It is nothing more than the difference between high configuration and low configuration."

"The lower end is a base with a giant screen on it, and the higher end is a human figure with a head and a body, and the screen is mainly placed on the body."

"There are many functions. This pre-screening and triage system can interact with patients through voice, introduce doctors in the hospital, display the doctor's specialties, and visit time, and then recommend corresponding departments according to symptoms. An infrared temperature measurement system is also installed. Real-time detection of patient temperature."

"After determining the subject, the patient can scan the QR code on the screen to register, provide route guidance after paying the fee, and display the walking route map. If you are on the same floor, the robot can take you to the desired place."

"A chatting system is also provided, but it's all about some health promotion content, which is very rigid. It is estimated that patients will get bored after listening to two sentences."

"In addition, the guidance robot also has the laser autonomous navigation function, and the app remote control function. These are the most basic configurations."

"The hardware is a surprise, because it is large in size, and the battery capacity is relatively high. It is equipped with a fast charging function. It only takes one hour to fully charge, and the energy consumption is also very low. The working time is about 12 hours. If you use it for a long time In a static state, it can persist for 20 hours, which is very suitable for night shifts."

"Then walking is also stable and flexible, it can automatically accelerate and decelerate, and the automatic obstacle avoidance function is very sensitive."

Xiang Gaofei's eyes suddenly brightened: "That's not bad, this robot company is willing to pay for the hardware."

The subordinate smiled disdainfully: "Maybe it's because the money is too much, one set costs hundreds of thousands, so the hardware is more sincerely given, otherwise the software is so bad, how can the hospital not use some fancy hardware to supplement it?" Spend the money."

Xiang Gaofei laughed and said: "It's so expensive, it seems that the guidance robot really doesn't make money."

The reason is very simple, the price will be expensive if you sell less, and if you can really sell the volume, the price will definitely come down.

Moreover, Xiang Gaofei seldom sees this kind of guidance robot in the hospital. It can be seen that the hospitals that buy this product are very rare. It is estimated that they buy it back to be an intelligent model and create outstanding performance.

The subordinate nodded: "This is a hardware company. Its main business is delivery robots. That can reflect their advantages in hardware. The guidance robots are really not good, and the software is a mess."

Xiang Gaofei laughed loudly: "This is our advantage. The hardware of this robot is too simple and the technical content is not high. Mr. Wei must have no idea. The best way is to cooperate with the robot company and make use of each other's advantages. , implement AI diagnosis in the hospital as soon as possible.”

"You should contact this company immediately and advance the cooperation immediately."

Xiang Gaofei looked solemn, and immediately made a decision.

The strength of Sanqing's diagnostic AI lies in software. Without suitable hardware access, the application in hospitals is actually very slow and complicated.

Because the experts in the hospital are relatively old, they are not so easy to accept new things, and they are all relatively conservative.

It took them a long time to embrace electronic resume systems, let alone AI diagnostics.

If the AI ​​diagnosis is directly connected to the hospital system, it will be equivalent to a earth-shaking change, and these veteran experts simply cannot accept it.

Considering everyone's affordability, it is more in line with their demands to realize intelligence in some less important places first.

If it can be implemented on the guidance robot first, and a shocking sample can be made, then the subsequent advancement will be much easier.

The next day, Xiang Gaofei met with the representatives of the robotics company. The two parties had a pleasant discussion and soon signed a series of cooperation agreements.

After the meeting, the two teams proposed new technical solutions for the guidance robots that have been put into use in the hospital.

It is mainly for the software, because the robot has been sold, and there is not much room for improvement in the hardware.

It took about half a month to complete a comprehensive system upgrade of the guidance robots in ten tertiary hospitals.

The tertiary hospitals are relatively rich and powerful, and they buy the most high-end humanoid guidance robots.

These robots have a white round head, which is made into a female shape, with complete facial features, soft lines, eyes, mouth, nose, ears, everything is available.

There is also a pair of slender arms on the upper body, which can make gestures of waving and indicating directions.

As for the entire chest area, a large screen is placed.

The robot even has a slender waist, and the round base of the lower limbs is made into a mermaid-like shape.

Although it is not a species at all with the lifelike robots in science fiction films, the distance between the two is not so far away.

Especially when Mei's face appears on the screen, with questions and answers directing the robot to make quite human movements.

Everyone present took a deep look at each other.

At this moment, everyone was very clear.

You are making robotic history yourself.
