Husband and Wife Doctors Safeguard Health of Villagers with iFLYTEK Medical System

iFLYTEK continues to support Shu Xuezhong and Xue Yonghua clinical work as they aid rural areas across Ningxia, China. Now located at the Sile Village Clinic in Changle Town in the Shapotou District of Zhongwei City, the two utilize the application of internet healthcare-assisted diagnoses at the grassroots level, enabling villagers to enjoy quality medical services.

Shu Xuezhong is 49 years old and has been practicing medicine for 30 years. After graduating from Ningxia Health School, Shu followed in his father's footsteps and used his medical knowledge to treat rural patients.

Xue Yonghua, Shu's wife, is also a village doctor. She received medical training at the Haiyuan County Hospital and studied obstetrics study at Guyuan. Xue helps delivers babies in the village.

"We lived in Zhoutao Village, Haochuan Town of Haiyuan County before 2014, where villagers were scattered. The high mountains, deep valleys, and poor road conditions made it difficult to visit even patients who lived near me."Shu Xuezhong is the village's only doctor.

Shu receives more than 20 patients a day on average. Due to his patients' issues describing their symptoms and providing accurate diagnoses, iFLYTEK's Intelligent Medical Assistant has become a day-to-day tool in his work.

"When there is a seriously ill patient, the system can give detailed summaries on the conditions of the disease." Shu Xuezhong says that the smart medical approach of the Intelligent Medical Assistant is of great help to primary-level medical staff. Shu and Xue are only two of the many doctors in the region who use the product.

Ningxia is reported to be the country's first "Internet Plus Healthcare" demonstration zone. Between July 2020 and the end of May 2022, the system provided a total of 27.998 million times of diagnoses, completed 225,000 medical searches in total, and served 6,448 grassroots doctors in Ningxia. Covering over 95% of common diseases at the grassroots level, the system effectively assists grassroots doctors in improving their medical proficiency. As an increasingly indispensable diagnosis and treatment assistant for rural doctors, the system allows patients to enjoy high-quality medical services in their communities.
