【Global Network Intelligence Reporter Zhang Yang】 Recently, Baidu’s management has been making major adjustments. All signs indicate that Baidu’s determination to reform, and the beginning of the new year, Robin Li has also issued an internal letter “to welcome the new era — content distribution. , Linkage Services, Financial Innovation, and Artificial Intelligence "He said: "To welcome the new era, we must also clean up the door." On the 8th, it was reported that Baidu had completely abolished the medical department that involved drug delivery O2O, but this did not mean that Baidu will withdraw from the medical field. On the contrary, in the 2017 Yabuli Business Forum, Baidu Chairman Li Yanhong said: “There is a huge opportunity in the medical field and it is also very relevant to Baidu. It will use artificial intelligence to participate in it.”

In his internal letter of February 7, Li Yanhong stressed: "We must eliminate products that are not competitive in the market. If we can't do that, we shouldn't mix there, and don't stick there. When the withdrawal is withdrawn, the customs will be closed. , and we will focus on resources that have advantages and strategic importance for us."

It is understood that Baidu Mobile Medical Division was established in January 2015, the main business is through the O2O joint domestic hospitals to launch a registered appointment, in addition to drug-related drug delivery services. The medical department involved in the abolition did not look good inside Baidu. In addition to the lack of internal and market competitiveness, industry analysts said that Baidu's abolition of the medical division will not rule out the impact of medical-related incidents such as the “Wei Zexi incident” last year.

However, the abolition of the medical division does not mean that Baidu will withdraw from the competition in the medical field. It will abolish the relevant news. The relevant head of Baidu Media yesterday responded that it was only a normal adjustment and that its AI and services in the medical field will still increase its investment.

Baidu’s chairman, Li Yanhong, responded to this at the 2017 Yabuli Forum’s annual meeting and said that there is a huge opportunity in the medical field and it’s also very relevant to Baidu. It will use artificial intelligence to participate. Such as smart registration, intelligent diagnosis and treatment, collection of genetic data, pharmaceutical research and development and so on. "The current medical system also has many irrationalities. The important method to change it is artificial intelligence."

In fact, as an important part of Baidu, Baidu's medical business has always attracted attention from the outside world, and Li Yanhong also has high hopes. In the internal letter, Li Yanhong mentioned, “If we say that our smart-questioning system can reach an average level of a doctor’s profession, then it’s entirely possible to use an intelligent system to assist these doctors in making some judgments. Sequencing and artificial drug technologies in the development of new drugs will also be very useful."
