College of Electronic Information Engineering and the Affiliated Hospital Forge a New Ecosystem in Intelligent Healthcare

To deepen the integration of medical and engineering disciplines and promote the innovative application of artificial intelligence technology in the healthcare sector, the College of Electronic Information Engineering at Hebei University, in collaboration with the Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University, held the “DeepSeek Intelligent Healthcare Application Seminar” on March 13.  

During the meeting, young lecturer Li Licong from the School presented a keynote report titled “Exploring the Mysteries of AI: Medical and Engineering Collaboration to Create the Future.” He systematically outlined the development trajectory of artificial intelligence technology and, combined with the research achievements of the college's digital medical engineering team, delved into typical applications of AI in areas such as the diagnosis of heart and brain signal-related diseases, medical image recognition, and the development of smart wearable devices. The intelligent diagnostic algorithm for myocardial infarction and the ECG acquisition system developed by his team have already undergone pilot trials in several hospitals across the country, generating enthusiastic discussions among the attending clinical doctors.  

Engineer Han Delin from the hospital's information centre shared insights on “The Application Practices of DeepSeek at the Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University.” Through specific case studies, he elaborated on the technical challenges, process optimisations, and outcome transformations encountered during the deployment of the DeepSeek platform in collaboration with the digital medical engineering team from the School. “By using AI-assisted intelligent consultation, we significantly improved the speed of electronic medical record generation, greatly reducing the average waiting time for patients,” Han Delin visually demonstrated the revolutionary value of intelligent healthcare in enhancing service efficiency.  

The teams from both sides also engaged in in-depth discussions on topics including “Clinical Adaptability of AI Models,” “Data Security and Privacy Protection,” and “Human-Machine Collaborative Work Models.”  

Attendees included Du Kaihua, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Telecommunications; Dong Bin, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Vice President of the Affiliated Hospital; former President Zhang Haisong; as well as clinical doctors, key faculty representatives, doctoral students, and technical staff from both sides, totalling over 80 participants. The Director of the Hospital’s Information Centre, Yang Guojie, presided over the seminar.  

The successful hosting of the seminar marks a significant step forward for Hebei University in the field of interdisciplinary integration between medicine and engineering. In the future, both parties will continue to deepen “AI + Healthcare” innovative research by jointly establishing a cross-disciplinary talent pool and sharing medical big data resources, using intelligent methods to resolve the contradictions of supply and demand in medical resources, contribute Hebei University's wisdom to the Healthy China strategy, and promote more “Hebei University Solutions” across the nation.
