Technology Powers Science-Based Epidemic Prevention

"Yunqi Capital Tech π" shares updates from Yunqi Capital's portfolio companies, exploring how cutting-edge technology pushes the boundaries of real-world applications and tracking the present and future of tech commercialization. In this edition, we bring you the latest from Yunqi robotics portfolio company Keenon Robotics.

In recent days, multiple regions across China have been optimizing and adjusting COVID-19 prevention and control measures, gradually easing restrictions. Hospital fever clinics are bracing for their first wave of "impact." How to streamline medical workflows and strengthen the sentinel role of fever clinics has become a pressing concern.

Drawing on a deep understanding of the State Council's Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism's Notice on Further Optimizing Medical Treatment Processes and Ensuring Current Medical Services and the Ten New Measures for Further Optimizing COVID-19 Prevention and Control, Keenon Healthcare's fever clinic solution effectively addresses multiple needs: hospitals' practical requirements for independent examination and diagnosis at existing fever clinics, the need to upgrade infection prevention and control and implement tiered, classified diagnosis and treatment, as well as government needs for real-time monitoring and reporting of fever clinic data for epidemic command and control. The solution offers universality, foresight, convenience, feasibility, and scalability.
