Received Baidu venture capital, NEA investment, MORE Health to be a real "virtual cross-border hospital"
For Chinese patients with terminal illness, a new type of service is likely to bring more hope for life. Middle-aged man Li Shizhen (pseudonym) has a history of long-term diarrhea. In 2017, he found his symptoms of blood in the stool and then examined stage IV colon cancer in the hospital. At that time, her daughter was just three years old. He found that he had advanced cancer and suspected distant metastasis. The remote transfer means that the meaning of the operation is not great. With the last hope, he turned to a Sino-US cross-border medical institution to seek medical advice from the United States. Later, George Chang, director of the Department of Rectal Cancer Surgery at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in the United States, and George Chang, deputy director of the Center for Colorectal Cancer, participated in his consultation and concluded that the clinical evidence for distal metastases was not sufficient. This judgment was confirmed after performing a high-resolution enhanced CT examination. After eliminating the possibility of distant metastasis, Li Shizhen was able to complete the corresponding chemotherapy and radical surgery within half a year, and now there are no cancer cells in the body. This Sino-US cross-border medical institution is MORE Health. Dr., one of the founders and director of the American College of Surgeons Robert Warren told reporters that he has more than 20 years of research and experience in the medical industry . He has also been a patient with liver cancer and has undergone the whole process of illness, chemotherapy and liver transplantation. It is for this reason that he has deep experience and experience in both doctors and patients, which makes him more eager to promote quality medical services. By signing more than 700 leading US medical professors and experts, MORE Health provides telemedicine services for Chinese patients, and has now completed more than 2,000 consultations with an annual growth rate of over 100%. Recently, MORE Health completed the B round of financing, including the Baidu venture capital and the Silicon Valley well-known venture capital fund New Enterprise Association (NEA). Gathering American doctors in a week Medical treatment in the United States has been on the market for several years. However, the past form is often the case where the patient himself travels to the United States, and then he is treated as a tourist in a US hospital. The cost is huge and the number is more than one million, which is unbearable for ordinary people. The MORE Health medical service platform hopes to use the advanced medical technology in the United States to help more patients with severe diseases in ordinary families. On MORE Health's online consultation platform, domestic critically ill patients need to provide their own complete medical records. After five days, they will receive evaluation and treatment advice from top US experts. Thereafter, the platform will continue to schedule a video consultation with an American expert. In addition to the top doctors and patients and their families in the United States, there are also doctors and a professional medical translator in the country. After the joint consultation, the patient will receive a personalized opinion. Through such online consultation methods, American doctors and Chinese doctors have reached a consensus on treatment plans after discussion, and the final medical plan can be implemented locally in China. MORE Health contract doctor Dr. from MD Anderson Cancer Center, Stanford Medical Center and other medical institutions. Milind Javle, Dr. Anthony Lucci, Dr. John A. Chabot, Dr. Edmund W. Tai, Dr. Robert Warren, Dr. Marc Shuman, Dr. Pierre Theodore “In the past, if you want to enjoy the leading medical resources in the United States, you must go to the United States for medical treatment. The online consultation service provided by MORE Health allows patients to reach American doctors within a week and spend only a few thousand dollars in the country. Execution. For those who are unfortunately suffering from severe illness and their families, MORE Health offers the most cost-effective and efficient solution.†Dr. Robert Warren said when talking about the original intention of starting MORE Health. He is a director of the American College of Surgeons and a specialist in gastrointestinal and liver oncology. He has been selected as the "Top American Doctor" by the US authority "US News" for 14 consecutive years. He is also the former director of cancer surgery at the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center. And he believes that the ultimate goal of medicine is to benefit the public, so it has generated interest in cross-border medical care. “It’s not so much just about treating existing patients. What I hope to do is to always advance this goal: how to more and better bring advanced medical resources to more patients?†Dr. Warren said. After the treatment plan is completed, the electronic prescriptions issued by American doctors can also obtain the most advanced American new drugs for domestic patients, which is often a new hope and opportunity for domestic patients suffering from various incurable diseases. Taking lung cancer drugs as an example, there are only seven drugs for treating lung cancer in China, but in the United States, there are more than 50 effective drugs for lung cancer. After the treatment plan is submitted, MORE Health will provide a three-month follow-up visit and be followed up by a professional case manager to ensure that the patient's condition continues to improve. In addition, the MORE Health consultation platform also reduces the difficulty of seeking medical treatment across borders through professional medical translation and systematic processing of medical records. On the platform, the patient can switch between Chinese and English with one click, and the unit of measurement will be converted to a familiar local usage. After the patient provided the Chinese case data, MORE Health used the machine-manual method to complete the translation of the case information within 10 hours, and then the proofreading team of the doctoral degree in medical or biological sciences in the United States to proofread and organize In accordance with the format of the US system, submitted to the hands of American doctors. In addition to written translations, in the Sino-US bilateral joint consultation, case managers act as bilateral real-time interpreters to ensure that doctors from both China and the United States can communicate smoothly. A screenshot of the consultation provided by MORE Health, including: Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Diseases, Brigham And Women's Hospital, Peking University People's Hospital, Dr. MORE Health. Waxman (Harvard Medical School), Dr. Zamanian (Stanford University Medical Center) In addition to the cancer-recovered patients mentioned at the beginning of the article, there are many patients from China who have been effectively assisted by cross-border treatment. Dr. Robert Warren recalls that a critically ill patient's original domestic treatment program was a major operation. However, the US expert group believes that taking certain drugs plus some non-invasive treatments can effectively improve the condition. Therefore, this final solution not only saves the patient's expenses, but also protects him from the risks and pains of surgery. It is reported that after using the MORE Health platform, 75% of cancer patients changed their original treatment methods after the consultation between China and the United States, and the user satisfaction reached 95%. Currently, MORE Health's customer base covers China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Hong Kong, and South Korea. Cross-border hospitals providing serious medical services “The knowledge and experience of physicians is the most critical part of the entire medical practice.†Dr. Robert Warren believes that MORE Health's model is successful because he has worked with the team in the US hospital system for decades and has brought many of the nation's top doctor resources to the MORE Health system. At present, MORE Health's doctor team is quite large, with more than 700 experts in various fields in the United States, including cancer, cardiovascular, neurological, pediatric, and rare diseases. Its cooperative hospitals cover the top medical institutions in the United States, including cancer, neurology, and pediatrics. Some well-known hospitals in the United States, including Stanford Hospital, University of California San Francisco Medical Center, Columbia University Medical Center, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Tufts Medical Center, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Boston Children's Hospital, etc. are all partners at MORE Health. In the list. Although the team has many years of experience in the United States, in fact, in order to provide formal medical services in the Chinese and American markets, the threshold is quite high, so the understanding and execution of the specialized market is also very important. “At present, many service organizations have taken a fancy to the booming medical market in the United States, claiming to provide cross-border medical services. But in fact, they can only provide medical services to the United States, or online consultation services. MORE Health provides rigorous and serious medical services – doctors directly issue treatment plans and drug prescriptions.†Dr. Robert Warren explained to reporters. In the United States, related services such as telemedicine often face strict legal requirements. Currently, US law requires that all formal telemedicine procedures must comply with the US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). “The privacy requirements for patient cases in Europe and the United States are very high,†Dr. Robert Warren said that on MORE Health's exclusive consultation platform, all medical records, doctors' opinions, discussion dialogues, and treatment plans were developed using high-standard encrypted transmissions, which are more secure than online banking systems and comply with US HIPAA. Provisions. In addition, the platform has been certified by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), doctors can read the patient's medical imaging and other information through the platform, directly provide medical diagnosis services. At the same time, MORE Health has insured the medical malpractice liability insurance for all the cooperating doctors, so that doctors and medical institutions can safely join this relatively new medical model in the market. “When we contact a doctor, almost every doctor asks these two questions: Is there a HIPPA? Is there a medical accident insurance? Both are indispensable.†Dr. Robert Warren said that MORE Health has spent several years meeting all regulatory requirements and building a high level of competition barriers. After solving the legal barriers, another difficulty is how to allow busy doctors to quickly and efficiently understand the patient's data in a user-friendly manner. "When the network bandwidth is insufficient before 2010, this mode can't be done." Dr. Robert Warren said that due to the increase in bandwidth, MORE Health has created a medical image browsing system that can optimize the image transmission speed on the cloud platform, so that huge files such as medical images and electronic pathology images can be transmitted without loss and smoothness. The doctor's time. The technology is patented and FDA-approved, which means that American doctors can easily view a variety of medical images and patient data needed through the MORE Health consultation platform and serve as the basis for diagnosis and treatment. MORE Health CTO Hu Bo told reporters that the platform uses the capsule format developed by their team to store medical data, which can greatly optimize the storage, extraction and maintenance capabilities of the database, and lay down the development of artificial intelligence for computer deep learning and cognitive computing. basis. “Structured data is the foundation of machine learning and is lacking in many Chinese hospitals. At present, the MORE Health platform is structured at both the database level and the application level. Through the capsule format, many complete patient data can be accumulated gradually. The data is de-personalized. In the end, this will form a huge data gold mine. In the future, through AI analysis, it will bring valuable value to medical research and practice.†Hu Bo said. Help Chinese doctors grow and fill the gap between China and the United States When talking about the original intention of MORE Health, Dr. Warren said that the progress has now been very close to what he expected. In 2011, MORE Health was formally established. Its founder except Dr. Robert Warren also includes Dr. Dr., former director of hematology oncology at the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center. Marc Shuman and other senior experts in the medical industry, they all feel the huge gap between the Chinese and American medical market, and hope to use advanced technology to make up for this gap. "Chinese doctors are not capable, but they are really too busy." Dr. Robert Warren recalled that when he visited a hospital in China, he found that the advanced level of equipment in China's large top three hospitals is not different from that in the United States. However, because of the pressure to receive critically ill patients from all over the country, some doctors have to look at 80 cases in one morning. . In small cities and rural hospitals, the medical resources for critically ill patients are relatively loose, but they often fail to meet the standards required for treatment. For critically ill patients, under the pressure of time, many Chinese doctors can only take the treatment of the assembly line, and can not give personalized treatment plans, so that the misdiagnosis and doctors and patients problems are heard. Under such circumstances, the rich doctor resources in the United States can just make up for this gap that needs to be filled. Through the MORE Health online platform, doctors can easily read the patient's complete medical record data and provide a personalized solution after the consultation, which is undoubtedly more in line with the patient's needs, which in turn leads to a higher cure rate. On the other hand, the prospective treatment of major diseases that have been invested in large-scale research hospitals in the United States for many years often has a significant effect on Chinese patients. And in terms of the types of drugs, the United States has more choices, bringing new hope to Chinese patients. "Drugs are like doctors' weapons." Dr. Robert Warren said that through the MORE Health platform, patients can not only get medical services in the United States, but also legally obtain therapeutic drugs in the United States. Both are beyond the reach of many other platforms. At the same time, the development time of a famous doctor is long, and there will be two to three times the growth of cross-border medical care in the next five years. According to Research and Markets' forecast this year, the cross-border medical market will grow to $150 billion by 2026. In the interview, Dr. Robert Warren said that he hopes that MORE Health will not only provide patients with better treatment, but also train more excellent doctors for China. “Many domestic second-tier doctors are very eager to learn from American doctors. We hope that by working with MORE Health, they can benefit from it,†Dr. Robert Warren said, "I hope that after 30 years, China's medical level will reach a similar level with the United States."
