Digital healthcare is a global revolution that develops a new perspective in medical treatment. Over the past centuries, the meidical industry has been the spokesman for the traditional innovators who deployed the interests of patients and their families.As long as someone seriously ill ,the financial burden that caused by the costly expenditures on treatment is nothing short of an  unaffordable disaster , this exactly means waiting for death to the average joe,let alone the poverished .


Thanks to the rise of technology insurgents like Google and Apple, which put patients first rather than interest,we now are able to get access to the easier and cheaper health care. AI doctor,predicative analysis, automatic diagnosis and so many other advanced technologies have contributed to a  better living. Even though it's impossible that these technology giants only live for the benefits of peop,they need to profit. So sometimes we can see some healthy advices are unregulatedly advertised on the internet, notably the Weizexi event came from  the baidu medical care platform . But we should not lose hope,for there is a long way to go  we need patience,persistence and expectation.
