Recently, WuXi App Tec as well as WuXi NextCode, and Huawei jointly issued China's first Precision Medical Cloud platform in Shanghai. It is designed to create a medical expertise big data cloud platform that covering the whole country, with the standard uniform and reliability to promote the concentration and application of the domestic genomic information and large accurate medical data, to promote the communication and cooperation among relevant government departments, the medical industry, academia and the industry in precision medicine, to comprehensively promote Chinese precision medical plan.
As a strategic emerging industry, Precision Medicine this year has been officially included in the national "Thirteen Five-Year Development Plan." According to related authorities, China's precision medical research is aimed to build a large queue, sample libraries, databases, and knowledge base at the national level, as well as to set up research and development stage, to achieve "the whole process of research from big data acquisition to the application of the clinical diagnosis." However, with the comprehensive development of precision medical research projects in the country, large-scale population genomic, clinical presentation and other related databases have been accumulated. The storage, analysis and sharing of the massive amount of datum will face enormous challenges.
The plain cloud, as China’s first Precision Medical cloud platform that was issued jointly by WuXi App Tec as well as WuXi NextCode, and Huawei, combines Huawei's industry-leading cloud computing capabilities and the network infrastructure throughout the country, the world-class pharmaceutical research and development capabilities of WuXi App Tec, as well as end-to-end data technical experience of WuXi NextCode in the analysis, searching, sharing of genomics and accurate medical aspects. It will help build a national service network cloud platform that is reliable on cloud computing, cloud storage, cloud sharing and exchange for precision medical large data.
Complication with the relevant provisions of the State Food and Drug Administration (CFDA), WuXi App Tec as well as WuXi NextCode, and Huawei will jointly developdata exchange standards and frameworks which is suitable for china’s precision medicalplan through cooperation with third-party security life sciences cloud platform vendors. Previously, the big data cloud platform program of WuXi App Tec and WuXi NextCode has been fully validated and widely used in the world, participating in a number of national precision medical projects in Britain, the United States, the Middle East and other countries and regions before and after. Therefore, the release of the "plain cloud" as China precision Medical cloud platform will not only meet the domestic regulations, but also has laid a good foundation for China to fully participate in the future global cooperation.
"WuXi App Tec is very honored to help Chinese doctors, researchers, enterprises and government departments to jointly promote the Precision Medicine Program," Dr. Ge Li, Chairman&CEO of WuXi App Tec, said, "I hope the plain cloud can help the industry and scientific researchers to more fully utilize the power of convenience genomics and big data to accelerate China precision medical research and personalized health management, and bring gospel for the general public and patients as soon as possible.
