The Shanghai Municipal Government released the "Shanghai Work Plan for the Development of Medical Artificial Intelligence (2025-2027)", aiming to build Shanghai into a global center for medical artificial intelligence. The plan clarifies Shanghai's key tasks and goals in the field of medical artificial intelligence in the next three years, covering three levels: basic research, platform construction and practical application, aiming to promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence and medicine, improve medical service levels, and promote health High-quality development of health undertakings. The plan emphasizes improving innovation capabilities, increasing investment in basic research in the frontier fields of artificial intelligence, and encouraging cooperation between scientific research institutions and medical institutions to strive for breakthroughs in related fields.
On December 24, the General Office of the Shanghai Municipal People's Government announced the "Shanghai Work Plan for the Development of Medical Artificial Intelligence (2025-2027)." The plan clarifies the main tasks and goals in the next three years, aiming to respond to the country's strategic deployment of the "artificial intelligence +" action, promote the deep integration of medical innovation and artificial intelligence, and promote the in-depth integration of artificial intelligence and medical innovation. To create a globally influential highland for medical artificial intelligence technology innovation, application demonstration and industrial development, this work plan is formulated.
The plan emphasizes the importance of improving innovation capabilities. Shanghai will focus on the cutting-edge fields of artificial intelligence, such as brain science, computational biology, etc., to increase basic research efforts, encourage cooperation between major laboratories and medical institutions, and strive to achieve important theoretical breakthroughs in related fields. At the same time, Shanghai will also promote breakthroughs in algorithm technology and improvements in computing power, and build a public computing power platform to support the cluster development of intelligent computing power.
The plan proposes the task of building a support platform. These include establishing new infrastructure for medical and health data, formulating data classification and application standards, building a municipal health data platform, and promoting the effective management and application of various medical data. In addition, Shanghai will also focus on building an artificial intelligence drug research and development platform and a medical artificial intelligence testing and verification center to ensure the safety and effectiveness of medical products.
The plan also clarifies a wide range of practical applications of medical artificial intelligence. We will focus on promoting the in-depth integration of artificial intelligence and clinical medical care, such as clinical decision-making assistance, intelligent imaging diagnosis, intelligent surgery and rehabilitation services, etc. At the same time, it will also promote the application of artificial intelligence in the fields of traditional Chinese medicine and public health, improve the intelligent level of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment, and enhance the emergency management capabilities of public health events.
Through this series of measures, Shanghai hopes to vigorously promote the innovation and application of medical artificial intelligence in the next three years, provide citizens with more efficient and accurate medical services, and promote the high-quality development of health care.
Highlight:
Shanghai will increase basic research in the frontier fields of artificial intelligence and promote cooperation between scientific research institutions and medical institutions.
Medical and health data infrastructure will be established, a drug research and development and testing verification platform will be built to ensure the safety of medical products.
Emphasize the application of artificial intelligence in clinical medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, public health and other fields to improve the intelligence level of medical services.
All in all, this plan from the Shanghai Municipal Government reflects its determination and foresight to develop medical artificial intelligence, points out the direction for Shanghai's construction in this field in the next three years, and is expected to promote Shanghai's remarkable achievements in the field of medical artificial intelligence and benefit citizens. Lead the development of the industry.
