China Speech Valley, a hub for the AI industry in Hefei, East China's Anhui province, recently held a summit forum to promote the development of the AI+ healthcare industry.

Industry leaders, experts and scholars discussed the cutting-edge technologies in the field and industry trends at the forum, which also helped promote exchanges and cooperation between local government, enterprises, medical institutions, scientific institutes and universities.

Doctors at major hospitals in Anhui shared their views about the role of AI in medical treatment. They agreed that AI can help save time and improve medical services.

Hou Gang from the China-Japan Friendship Hospital said the hospital is looking forward to cooperating with China Speech Valley in developing more products to treat interventional respiratory diseases.

The forum also saw the launch of a number of new AI-assisted medical products developed by enterprises in China Speech Valley.

Anhui Infervision, a company that develops medical-related AI technology, has created an auxiliary diagnostic system that is being used by dozens of hospitals nationwide to combat the pandemic.
