Abstract:
Artificial intelligence (AI) has entered a period of vigorous development although it has only 65 years since its inception. AI technology is currently widely used in finance, medical care, security, transportation, education, autonomous driving, and so on. In recent years, the concepts of 'big health', cloud computing, and medical big data have frequently appeared in the world, which have also promoted the accelerated development of AI in the medical field, such as electronic medical records, medical image recognition, disease risk prediction, health management, auxiliary diagnosis, and drug research. In 2017, the State Council issued the "New Generation AI Development Plan", which proposed to promote the application of new models and new methods of AI treatment, and establish a fast and precision medical system. Intelligent medical has received extremely high attention, and it is predicted that intelligent medical will account for 1/5 of the overall AI. Since the late 1980s, under the vigorous promotion of the government, general practice (GP) has been formally established and has achieved considerable development in China. In 2011, the State Council issued the "Guiding Opinions on Establishing a General Practitioner regime", and the GP has entered a rapid pace. In the development stage, the GP service model is gradually promoted at the grassroots level. In 2018, the State Council issued the "Opinions on Promoting the Development of ' Internet +' medical health", which proposed to explore the construction of intelligent health management and intelligent elderly community service system, optimize and promote "Internet +" family doctor contract, education and popular science services. This article summarizes the application and development status of AI in GP as follows, GP service, family doctor contract, grading diagnosis and treatment, general practitioner training, and community public health services, and also analyzes the current challenges, and finally look forward to the future development prospects.
