Chinese Invention

China is a country with a long history. There are a large number of inventions in China. These inventions help the society make great progress and make important meanings till now.

The campaign (指南针) is one of Chinese old great inventions, which can date back to the Warring States Period. It is made of magnet (磁铁) and can show the north and south to people. With the development of technology, the campaign also improves. In the Song Dynasty, the scientist Shen Kuo invented a new campass like a boat and could move around. From then on, the campass is used to guide the boat on the sea. In the Song Dynasty, the campaign is mainly used to guide the trade boat on the sea and explore in the forest etc. This helps the sailors to tell the direction and decide where to go correctly. The campass not only helps people and boat on the sea to know the direction, but also helps people to explore on the land.

The campass is as one of the Chinese Four Ancient Inventions and is very famous in the world. It helps the trade and communication between the different countries in the world, which helps the society move forward a lot.

During the novel coronavirus outbreak, hospitals all over China have used smart technology to care for patients and make work easier for doctors. The outbreak will help smart healthcare develop faster in China, according to Xinhua.

Robots lend a hand

Robots are being used to fight the virus. For example, medical workers at the Third People’s Hospital of Shenzhen are using robots to do routine (常规的) medical tasks.

Developed by Chinese AI company UB Tech, these robots can offer medical advice, deliver (递送）medicines and disinfect (消毒) wards (病房) and other areas. They can also check temperatures, according to China Daily.

Liu Yue, head of the hospital’s fever outpatient services (发热门诊), said the robots have made work much easier. “It greatly reduces our burden (负担), and it can also prevent us from missing infected patients,” Liu said.

Remote (远程的) healthcare services

It can be dangerous for medical workers and patients to come into contact ( 接 触 ) with each other. But with remote medical services, doctors at different hospitals can share photos and videos to come up with the best treatment. China’s three biggest telecom companies are providing hospitals across the country with 5G support. This allows them to transfer(传送) large amounts of data (数据) quickly.

For example, on Feb 27, doctors in the cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou used 5G technology to treat a severely (严重地) ill 67-year-old patient in Wuhan, according to China Daily. By diagnosing (诊断) patients remotely, doctors can protect both themselves and their patients.

AI makes work more efficient (高效的)

Ask Bob is an AI-powered consultation ( 咨 询 ) platform. Developed by Ping An Smart Healthcare, it can provide users with information about the virus, help people do medical self-checks, check their mental ( 心 理 的 ) health and choose the right face masks, according to China Daily.

Ping An Smart Healthcare has also developed AI software that can read CT images and provide accurate ( 准 确 的 ) analyses (分析) to doctors. This can speed up the diagnostic process and allow doctors to give faster treatment.
