Under the national development plan guided by “Healthy China” and “Digital China”, in order to promote the development of medical-engineering integration disciplines, deepen medical-engineering cooperation and common prosperity, the 8th Conference on Biomedical Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence was held online on September 28, 2022. Mr. Jiang Song, an academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences and researcher of Institute of Applied Physics and Computational Mathematics, Mr. Tian Yunhui, deputy director of  Science and Technology Department of Sichuan Province, Mr. Zhang Lin, vice president of Sichuan University, Ms. Chen Lei, vice president of West China School of Medicine/West China Hospital, Sichuan University, and Mr. Lv Jiancheng, dean of School of Intelligent Science and Technology of Sichuan University, delivered speeches at the opening ceremony of the conference.

With the theme of “Intelligence-supported Medicine, Cluster-based Innovation”, the conference, focusing on the national plan of “Health China 2030”, aims to bring together the cross-disciplinary edges of computer science and technology, software engineering, mathematics, control science, clinical medicine, and other disciplines, and explore the future development and opportunities of integration between intelligent science and technology and medicine in the frontier areas of intelligent control systems, intelligent robotics, intelligent information systems, etc., with the goal of improving health-related technological innovation. 


As the honorary chairman of the conference, Mr. Jiang Song, an academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, said in his speech that last year’s conference was themed on the integration of medicine and mathematics, and this year’s conference is centered on medicine and intelligent technology to promote related research from basic to frontier and from data to intelligence, empower traditional advantageous medical science with frontier intelligent technology, and bring together various research groups to form a cluster of cross-integration and innovation. Facing the needs of people’s life and health, we should take the initiative to respond to the medical challenges and pain points in the era of big data and intelligence, and carry out innovative research, so as to achieve the self-sufficiency and self-improvement of national biomedical science and technology.


Mr. Jiang Song, a research fellow, delivers a speech.

In his speech, Vice President Zhang Lin mentioned that the current new round of technological revolution and industrial change, as well as the breakthroughs in energy and other fields, have provided more sources of innovation for cutting-edge disruptive technologies, and the disciplines, science and technology, as well as natural sciences and humanistic and social sciences increasingly become more integrated. As a “double first-class” university, Sichuan University focuses on big scientific problems and key core technology breakthroughs, and guided by the five pioneering programs, makes good use of big scientific devices and big platforms to vigorously promotes basic disciplines and new engineering disciplines, and takes “medicine+”  and “Information +” as a breakthrough to energetically improve the originality of “from 0 to 1”, comprehensively promote the development of multidisciplinary integration, strive to realize the change from discipline-oriented to problem-oriented, from thesis-oriented to demand-oriented, from technology-driven to demand-driven, and make real research, real learning and real contribution.


Vice President Zhang Lin delivers a speech.

Lv Jiancheng, Dean of School of Intelligent Science and Technology of Sichuan University, and Chen Lei, Vice President of West China Hospital of Sichuan University, said in their speeches that the School of Intelligent Science and Technology of Sichuan University and West China Hospital of Sichuan University, as important carriers of the new round of double-class construction of Sichuan University, attach great importance to the interdisciplinary research of medical-engineering combination, use intelligent science and technology, vigorously carry out clinical multicenter research based on clinical problems, and continuously strengthen the building of multidisciplinary integrated teams.  In the context of strengthening the construction of organized large teams, both the school and the hospital have explored the frontiers of medicine in order to improve the construction of special subspecialties, the medical quality of single disease and the patient experience, and to benchmark with the world-class standards. It is hoped that this conference will build an open communication platform between various interdisciplines and unite the government, industry, academia and research communities for joint integration and development.

The conference brings together leading talents, experts and scholars from medical units of famous universities , research and industrial institutions at home and abroad, bringing the most cutting-edge medical and intelligent scientific results at home and abroad to the participants, and building an exchange platform for big data artificial intelligence innovation methods to serve people's health needs. We will continue to promote the development of medical-engineering integration and explore the path of interdisciplinary innovation, so that more scientific and technological achievements can benefit people's life and health.
