“Scientific and technological innovation plays an important role in leading and supporting the development of medicine and health.” In the live class of “Frontiers and Challenges of Medicine” of Nankai University, Li Lanjuan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and an epidemiologist, said that the prevention and control of infectious diseases still remains Five “early” are emphasized, namely early detection, early reporting, early diagnosis, early isolation and treatment, and early control.

Scientific and technological innovation plays an important role in leading and supporting the development of medicine and health. In the past three years of epidemic prevention and control, efforts have been made in discovering the source of infection, cutting off transmission routes, developing vaccines and drugs, and diagnosing and treating the new crown. Academician Li Lanjuan believes that the help of the whole process of these technological innovations supports the fight against the epidemic.
In the live class of “Frontiers and Challenges of Medicine” of Nankai University, Academician Li Lanjuan said that the prevention and control of infectious diseases still emphasizes several “early”, namely early detection, early reporting, early diagnosis, early isolation and treatment, Control early. The fundamental of preventing and controlling infectious diseases is to protect susceptible populations. Academician Li Lanjuan introduced that vaccination plays a key role in the control of infectious diseases. Many people are asymptomatic after being infected with the new crown. It can be seen that the vaccine has a great effect on reducing the severe rate and mortality rate. However, the mutant strain of Omicron has appeared, and the vaccine has not yet played a role in completely blocking the spread of the epidemic. my country’s epidemic prevention and control still cannot be relaxed.
Academician Li Lanjuan believes that intelligent infectious disease prevention and control technology will lead the future prevention and control of infectious diseases. For example, deep learning algorithms based on big data decipher the spread of infectious diseases; multi-dimensional fusion information cloud platform realizes precise prevention and control of infectious diseases; mathematical models based on complex systems simulate the spread of infectious diseases and the effects of prevention and control strategies.
Academician Li Lanjuan introduced that in recent years, my country’s medical science and technology innovation has made a series of major breakthroughs, and the disease prevention and control capabilities have been significantly improved, which has strongly supported the construction of a healthy China. The demand for the development of our national health strategy is to make the common people not get sick, get sick less often, get sick late, and be able to see and afford the disease. However, at present, there are still some shortcomings in the innovation level of medical science and technology, medical and health services and the development of the health industry in China, which need to be strengthened.
Specifically, it is necessary to speed up drug innovation and medical device research and development, and reduce the cost of diagnosis and treatment; promote the innovation and transformation of medical science, improve the level of prevention and diagnosis and treatment technology; strengthen standardized diagnosis and treatment training, improve the level of primary medical care; Optimize medical resources and service models to improve medical treatment problems; accelerate the cultivation of the big health industry and drive healthy economic growth.
