Preface On February 2, 2016, Vice President Li Liang of Beijing Chest Hospital was elected as the “Best Director” in the annual China Internet Medical List, which is a beautiful talk among TB control workers nationwide. When TB prevention and control met the Internet, President Li Liang was awarded as the “Best President” of the country for his outstanding contribution in TB prevention and control and network information construction, which is a very good start and indicates that the information construction of TB control is becoming more and more steady towards wisdom and maturity. The road is under our feet, and the future is even more exciting. Full Article The 2015 World Health Organization annual report on tuberculosis has revised China’s tuberculosis epidemic from the second to the third place in the world. However, the TB epidemic in China is still very serious and is not commensurate with its status as a large country, and it is clear that TB control has a long way to go. With today’s fast-developing mobile Internet linking China to the world, the battlefield in China’s fight against TB has expanded deeply toward the mobile web as a broad platform. In 2003, when I was still working at the Wuhan Tuberculosis Control Center, I inadvertently created a “TB bar” with the screen name “lshlook” in a Baidu posting bar for users to communicate with each other, and in it I answered some common questions about the TB treatment process. Due to my busy schedule, I started to look for enthusiastic volunteers willing to help on the Internet, but I could not find anyone who was willing to contribute to the effort. These young people had suffered from TB and suffered physically and mentally. They used their enthusiasm and love to quickly build the Baidu TB bar into a reality. On March 21, 2014, Dudu was invited by the Chinese Center for Disease Control as an outstanding representative of volunteers to attend the “World TB Day” held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. On March 21, 2014, Dodo was invited by the Chinese Center for Disease Control as an outstanding representative of volunteers to attend the “World TB Day” theme event held in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, and delivered a passionate speech in front of representatives from all over the world, and was warmly received by Ms. Peng Liyuan, the world ambassador of TB and AIDS. This group of young TB volunteers with ideals and ambitions formed a team to Tibet in 2015 to carry out a Tibetan charity walk. The western region is in a remote area with poor economic and health conditions, and is a region with a high incidence of TB in China, where support is needed even more. The volunteers gave their all and used their strength to carry out science promotion all the way, Baidu officials, and government agencies also supported the participation, and this unusual journey to the west received high attention from the media. Second, consciously and voluntarily, TB practitioners took the initiative to get involved in the mobile network The rise of mobile networks and self-publishing in China is something to write home about, making it incredibly easy for people to connect and communicate. With the rise of microblogs, many provincial TB control structures across China opened their own official microblogs in 2011-2012, but more notably, some TB practitioners have seized the opportunity to open their own personal microblogs, both from the management and from the grassroots level, and they have written many popular TB articles. The bloggers have written many popular articles on TB, and they have changed their serious faces to lively and highly readable ones. Some bloggers also organized themselves to plan many interactive topics with netizens, and everyone was highly motivated and involved, which immediately brought doctors and netizens closer together. The latest information on tuberculosis prevention and treatment was quickly and widely disseminated in this form, and even penetrated into people’s hearts. The development of WeChat seems to be even more rapid. It seems that overnight, a variety of TB-themed “WeChat groups” established by TB clinical experts, disease control personnel, and basic TB researchers nationwide sprang up, and almost all TB control practitioners joined one or another TB WeChat group overnight. Some veteran tuberculosis experts were also pulled into various groups for communication, which undoubtedly played a good role in the exchange of tuberculosis-related information, business learning, and even discussion of difficult cases. Currently, there are several famous WeChat groups in the circle, such as “National TB Experts Forum”, “TB Imaging”, “CTCTC China TB Clinical Trials Collaboration Center”, “TB Alliance”, “TB Alliance”, and “TB Alliance”. “TB Alliance”, “China Anti-TB Journal Authors Readers Editors Group”, “TB Window”, “pediatric?TB? group”, “TB?from?bench?to?bedside”, “TB Chapter Group of Medical Promotion Association”, etc. The number of speeches per day ranges from tens, hundreds to thousands. The numerous brainstorming sessions have benefited many practitioners, including the author, by allowing them to speak freely about TB prevention and control and research issues. Although there are many advantages of professional WeChat groups, we all quickly realized that it has many disadvantages: first, the fragmentation of information, and second, the sense of disconnection between doctor and patient communication. These disadvantages are the result of the limitations of social media itself. Both QQ groups and WeChat groups, despite being lively, are characterized by information fragmentation and inefficient utilization from a professional point of view. WeChat public number solves a huge obstacle for the efficient and repeated use of information. Initially, when I searched for the word “tuberculosis” in public numbers, there were only a few public numbers, but less than a year later, there are already thousands or even tens of thousands of public numbers. The China CDC Tuberculosis Prevention and Control Center has also put itself down and given its own public number a very friendly name: “Tuberculosis Matters”, and the acceptance of Internet users has increased greatly. The content of the articles in the public website is high class, but the text is as lively and interesting as possible to meet the reading habits of young people. Many other public subscription numbers also pay great attention to the content of TB prevention and treatment, and the public number “Medical World” has organized several video lectures on TB, which have received more than 10,000 hits in one day. Tuberculosis Help”, a public website created by the Tuberculosis Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and the Clinical Center for Tuberculosis Control and Prevention of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention in cooperation with their partners, once created a myth of over 20,000 subscribers in one night. The founder of “TB Help”, Professor Li Liang, an expert in tuberculosis control, is proud of the prospect that in the near future, the number of subscribers to “TB Help” will exceed one million. In the author’s opinion, this estimate is obviously a bit conservative (don’t shoot the bricks, Li fans). Our “neighbor” – the most popular “gay” social networking software in China, “Light Blue”, which leads the anti-AIDS movement on the Internet “They are even working with the UN and Chinese health agencies to undertake research to prevent the spread of HIV. It seems that we still have a lot of work to do and a long way to go. At present, from the content of the public is a large meal and coffee, but the people need more home-cooked meals, is steamed dumplings and wontons on garlic and onions, is shredded potatoes and roast pork tiger skin and green pepper with rice, in addition, the lack of interactivity is a major drawback of the public. Cell phone software APP is becoming more and more powerful, with the development of science and technology, now cell phones are becoming more and more functional and powerful. Not as simple and rigid as in the past, it has now developed to a degree comparable to computers, and in some aspects even beyond. app both social tools, public subscription numbers and other aspects of the characteristics, and even data analysis and collation. There are still many medical APPs that attract attention, but not many of them focus on tuberculosis, such as “Tuberculosis Doctor” and “Tuberculosis Assistant”, which are jointly created by the Tuberculosis Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and the China CDC Tuberculosis Clinical Center and its partners. There are only 8,000 users, and most of them are limited to medical and nursing staff. With the early promotion of the web version, it already has a certain number of users, and after the development of the APP in the past two years, the business has expanded more rapidly, and many TB doctors have made good use of this mobile application. Dr. Tang Shenjie was awarded the Outstanding Doctor of 2014 for his hard work and was widely praised; Dr. Lu Shuihua’s personal homepage has exceeded 6 million hits and is expected to exceed 10 million hits within the year, and was named the star of post-consultation service; nationwide, more than 400 TB doctors, including Chen Wei, Lin Minggui, and Zhang Li, have opened personal homepages to provide free services for TB patients on the mobile network all year round. Tuberculosis patients are provided with free services; online articles written by doctors such as Zhang Zhongshun and Lei Jianping are widely read. The domestic media has been highly sensitive to the expansion of the TB battle to the mobile network, and relevant reports have appeared in the press, and President Li Liang was awarded the “National Outstanding President” for his outstanding contribution to the construction of the TB prevention and control network. This is certainly a good start. What we are looking forward to is an opportunity, which is brought to us by the joint progress of technology and network, and we can definitely make a quantitative to qualitative leap. Third, the government gives strength, professional deep plowing and mobile health care together to innovate a new model of TB prevention and control December 16, 2015 – December 18, 2015, with the theme of “interconnection, sharing and governance – building a community of destiny in cyberspace”, the Second World Internet The 2nd World Internet Conference was held in Wuzhen, Zhejiang Province. As an emerging field, “mobile healthcare” received great attention in this conference. President Xi Jinping mentioned in his opening speech that “changes, including online hospitals, are a microcosm of China’s Internet innovation and development.” According to incomplete statistics, other guests mentioned the term “mHealth” more than 60 times. Since 2014, the Internet gene has been implanted into the traditional medical industry, and multi-dimensional medical platforms such as mobile Internet-based medical O2O, medical e-commerce, appointment booking, post-visit follow-up, cloud HIS system, and doctor forums have started to blossom. The three giants of the domestic Internet, BAT, have also begun to step into the field of mobile medical. “Internet” + medical, the most important thing is to release the value of doctors, so that the optimal allocation of physician resources, so that patients can “find the right doctor”. Whether it is the Internet giants in the mobile medical vertical area of occupation, or entrepreneurial companies in more medical niche areas of deep plowing, during this period will certainly appear more focus on improving the status of medical technology innovation, through the “Internet +” to improve the relationship between doctors and patients, to help the domestic medical reform process. First, the participation of tuberculosis doctors and practitioners who are specialized in the field of tuberculosis will definitely create a platform for tuberculosis doctors and tuberculosis patients to provide a network-based doctor-patient service and data sharing platform, which will be a new model beneficial to both tuberculosis doctors and tuberculosis patients. Data analysis and management can provide first-hand information for the macroscopic decision-making of tuberculosis in China, we have come to the era of big data in life sciences today, life sciences will become the world’s leading role. The explosion of data makes the research methods of evidence-based medicine are outdated, the limitations of random samples are becoming more and more prominent, the advantages of the whole data are on the horizon, the whole data model: sample = total. The clinical practice area of medicine is seeing innovation, and the force leading to it is none other than the Internet. The road, right underfoot, and the future, even more exciting.
