What kind of "force" is the new quality productivity? What impact can it have on people's work and life? How can we stimulate the new quality productivity? Dr. Gao Yaozong, winner of the 2023 Shanghai Youth May Fourth Medal Model, Vice President of Advanced R&D and Chief Scientist of Shanghai United Imaging Intelligence, can give us the answer. His job is to empower the medical industry with artificial intelligence and promote deep changes in the medical industry with new quality productivity. In his view, new quality productivity is not an abstract concept, it has long been integrated into our lives.

My name is Gao Yaozong, and I am currently the Senior Vice President of R&D and Chief Scientist at Shanghai United Imaging Intelligent Medical Technology Co., Ltd. Recently, the term "new quality productivity" has become increasingly popular, but what exactly is it? In my opinion, new quality productivity is not only a synonym for high technology, intelligence, and digitalization, but also a force that can actually change our lives and work.

What is the solution to developing new quality productivity?

For a long time, the high-end medical equipment market has been monopolized by multinational giants. In 2014, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized the need to accelerate the pace of localization of modern medical equipment during his inspection of United Imaging, which made me determined to return to China to start a business. In 2017, I gave up the generous treatment in the United States and returned to China to join Shanghai United Imaging.

During my undergraduate, master and doctoral studies, I studied in the Department of Computer Science. My research areas were mainly medical imaging and artificial intelligence. After long-term exposure, I feel that the theories in the academic world are very profound and the methods are very innovative, but it is hard to say whether they can be applied in practice. But I believe that the knowledge I have learned must be put into practice. If I can make some contributions to the medical industry with my expertise, my life will be more meaningful.

The needs that doctors discover and accumulate in clinical practice are ready-made and urgently need to be solved. We compare these needs and use our technology to help them solve them as much as possible. Over the past 7 years, our team has achieved many innovative results. It can be said that my daily work is to "deal with" new quality productivity. In this process, I deeply understand that the key to developing new quality productivity lies in the transformation of results. New quality productivity is not just a theoretical concept, but the core goal of our daily work.

What kind of sparks can be created by the collision of technology and medicine?

I have led a team to build an artificial intelligence platform for medical imaging and developed an artificial intelligence reasoning engine suitable for 3D medical imaging. In my opinion, new quality productivity is not only a technological breakthrough, but also a transformation of traditional medical processes.

For example, brain metastases are distributed irregularly, multiple metastases are common, and micro-metastases are very easy to miss. In the past, doctors had to spend a lot of time reviewing patients' brain magnetic resonance images. Now, with the AI ​​system, doctors' pressure on reading images is greatly reduced, and the lesion detection rate is also effectively improved.

We hope to use the power of technology to solve practical problems in the medical field, help doctors improve diagnostic accuracy and work efficiency, and provide additional protection for patients' health.

Can one person achieve innovative research and development by just working hard?

In the field of artificial intelligence, the speed of technology iteration and knowledge update is very fast. As R&D personnel, we must have the enthusiasm to write code, trial and error, and make adjustments!

But as the team grew, I had to withdraw from the front line of R&D and turn to management and marketing. At first, I was worried that I would not be able to keep up with the development of new technologies and doubted whether my daily busyness was worthwhile. But I gradually found that if I did a good job of management and mobilized the enthusiasm of the team, the overall output would be greater than if I worked hard alone. At this time, I began to realize that the work at the macro level is not empty and meaningless, but very real, just like looking up at the sky while working with your head down to ensure that you are moving in the right direction.

Thanks to our efforts, many AI products developed by the team have been used in more than 3,000 hospitals, greatly changing the diagnosis and treatment process. Many doctors have gone from not understanding AI at the beginning to being inseparable from it now. New quality productivity is quietly changing our lives. In the future, I also hope to continue to lead the team to overcome difficulties and allow the majority of patients to enjoy more high-quality medical resources.

Message to youth: Interest is the best teacher. Do as much as possible while you are young, dare to try and make mistakes, and find your own track.

The Nihon Keizai Shimbun published an editorial entitled "A farewell to the bad habit of taking the economy as a hostage" on June 4. The excerpt of the article is as follows: The United States, which leads the world economy, has finally avoided the first treasury bond default in history. US President Biden has reached an agreement with Republican Speaker of the House McCarthy to pass the Financial Responsibility Act, suspending the debt ceiling until January 2025. The unstable factors that shook the world economy have finally moved away. On the other hand, it is evident that fruitless political struggles have led to a decline in the credibility of the United States, which is in a position dominated by Western style democracy. The United States is not only taking its own economy, but also taking the world economy as a hostage. We strongly demand that the US government and Congress bid farewell to this bad habit. The United States has passed a bill to establish a government borrowing limit. Affected by the COVID-19, the US debt

Since May 25th, Henan, which has just entered the wheat harvesting season, has been hit by "rotten rain", seriously affecting the normal maturity and harvest of local wheat. On June 2nd, the reporter walked into Luohe City, the main wheat producing area in Henan, to visit the scene of wheat harvesting in Henan on site. Harvesters shuttle through 160000 acres of high standard farmland in Xidapo, Yancheng District, Luohe City, busy with operations. People's Daily reporter Shen Zhi captured the sound of a telephoto camera, with wheat straw flying high.

Every year, the global grain loss from production to retail accounts for about 14% of the world's grain production. A 1 percentage point reduction in this loss is equivalent to an increase of more than 2700 million tons of grain, enough for 70 million people to eat for a year | "Liaowang" Newsweek reporter Chen Cong Yang Xuan Beidahuang Group Hongwei Farm Co., Ltd., in Shuangyashan City, Heilongjiang Province, unmanned Harvester Operating in the Field, saving food and advocating "CD" has gradually become a social consensus, but the phenomenon of wasting food still exists.
