• Digital intelligence empowers regional obstetrics quality management

Digital intelligence plays an important role in empowering regional obstetric quality management, and is also the fastest and most powerful tool to achieve health equity. In the field of obstetrics-related digital intelligence, Guangzhou has demonstrated a unique “Guangzhou experience”. In terms of maternal health management, the Guangzhou Women and Children’s Medical Center has launched the “Sui Hao Pregnancy” platform, which allows pregnant women to record their pregnancy information at home after registration, so that the community health service center can know the situation of pregnant women in time and provide health guidance. Medical institutions can also reasonably arrange prenatal health care for pregnant women. In terms of obstetric clinical expertise, Guangzhou Women and Children’s Medical Center provides diagnosis and treatment services for a variety of difficult pediatric diseases, including congenital heart disease, hematological tumors, etc., and has successfully carried out many multi-disciplinary treatments at home and abroad through telemedicine. We will continue our efforts in the field of digital intelligence and to promote the modernization and high-quality development of obstetric services.
