A cross-border wind across the medical and IT industries is guiding the direction of the global investment community. According to the observation of Morning Post, the BIT concept has become a new investment trend in the medical and health field. BIT refers to a new model that combines biotechnology (BT) and information technology (IT). Such a combination will be produced in the future medical field. The revolutionary impact of information technology-driven research is triggering dramatic changes in the field of biotechnology that will revolutionize people's perceptions of health and ways to treat disease.
According to public data, since 2013, more than 3.7 billion US dollars of venture capital has been invested in the modern medical field related to mobile big data technology. In the first half of 2014 alone, the investment in this field was as high as 2.3 billion US dollars.
According to statistics, a relatively high proportion of these investments have entered various fields related to mobile health, such as turning a smartphone into a sphygmomanometer and using a mobile phone to shoot medical quality-quality inner ear photos, which has stimulated Apple, including Technology giants such as Qualcomm and Microsoft are working on developing mobile health products or investing in such projects.
Another part of the funds mainly entered the field of medical big data . According to estimates by McKinsey & Company, the business opportunities in the field of medical big data are as high as $300 billion to $450 billion annually, mainly in the areas of R&D applications and super-data analysis systems for data acquisition smartphones.
The new trend in the future of health care will be a new model such as BIT, which will revolutionize the field of medical technology and completely reverse the way traditional medical devices treat diseases.
"BIT" acquisition acceleration
On September 11, Google announced the acquisition of biotechnology company lift Labs, which is involved in medical equipment . Lift Labs develops daily necessities for patients with Parkinson's disease and trembling. In recent years, Google has increased its investment in bioscience and health-related projects. In addition to smart contact lenses that helped diabetics monitor blood sugar, they also acquired a lot. Biotechnology companies are actively deployed in the medical field.
In fact, in addition to Google, other technology giants such as Apple, Intel and Samsung have also developed their wearable devices or personal applications through the acquisition of biotechnology companies, and they have extended their reach to the medical and health field. The biomedical giants have combined information technology to develop new products. Expanding its medical device field and detonating the new medical trend of “BT+ITâ€.
Medical device companies have also acquired information technology companies. On September 15, Cognizant acquired triZetto Corp, a healthcare IT business service provider, from private equity firm Apax Partners for $2.7 billion, the largest merger ever undertaken by Cognizant. transaction.
Earlier, Thermo Fisher acquired Life Technologiess, a genetic testing equipment manufacturer, for $13.6 billion in May.

China's new "BIT" model
In recent years, the combination of biotechnology and information technology in China has been heating up. The most eye-catching new BIT product is mobile medical equipment.
At present, China has the largest and fastest-growing mobile phone user population in the world. Therefore, BIT's product model will also be favored by the market. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than a thousand APPs on mobile medical care, mainly in the face of the hospital's B2B model and the patient's B2C model. In the face of professionals' business support applications such as Xingshulin, the doctors who meet the needs of seeking medical consultations, Dr. Chun Yu, health monitoring and management such as Jiu'an Medical, Neusoft Xikang, Sannuo Bio.
In May of this year, Ji'an Medical's iHealth wholly-owned subsidiary announced that it will cooperate with the medical company CareInnovations. After collecting the health data of the elderly over 65 years old, iHealth will provide relevant data to the insurance company. Liu Yi, Chairman of Jiu'an Medical It is revealed that a small blood glucose meter called “iHealth Align†will be sold in the global Apple Store, which can be connected to mobile phones and is currently FDA-approved.
In August, 5U family doctors, Dr. Chunyu, and other doctors received tens of millions of yuan in financing for mobile medical solutions. This shows that the new BIT model is favored by investors.
In fact, as the incidence of chronic diseases rises and the population ages, the need to monitor health in real time is growing. Wearable devices and APP applications can help doctors better understand early disease information and reduce the need for expensive treatment and long-term hospitalization during periods of limited medical budget. I believe that BIT's new model will pay for chronic disease management, aging, and medical insurance. Three aspects open the breakthrough. (21st Century Business Herald)
