The 2nd Healthcare Development Forum Successfully Held

Dec 19-2025   



The Second Healthcare Development Forum of Peking University’s National School of Development was successfully held.

Opening Address

Lei Xiaoyan, Secretary of the Party Committee of Peking University’s National School of Development, emphasised that health is not only a fundamental human need but also central to achieving global sustainable development. In her opening address, she stressed the importance of examining health from a whole-life-cycle perspective and integrating artificial intelligence (AI) deeply into health management to propel healthcare development to new heights.

Zhou Yan, President of the Alumni Association of Peking University’s National School of Development, noted that we have entered an era of rapid technological advancement. He pointed out that as algorithms decipher the codes of life and data becomes the cornerstone of health, AI is reshaping the future landscape of healthcare. He expressed hope that alumni would seize this historic opportunity to explore innovative ways to integrate AI with health and use technology to safeguard human wellbeing.

Keynote Address

Professor Liu Guo’en, Dean of Peking University’s Institute for Global Health and Development, delivered a detailed presentation titled “Growth, Civilisation and Planetary Health.” He focused on three core themes:

1. Modern growth and the “Great Divergence”: Traditional growth models reliant on resources and scale have reached their limits. Future growth should be approached as a “marathon,” balancing equity, quality, and resilience rather than prioritising speed.

2. Modern growth and Baumol’s disease: Drawing on Baumol’s Cost Disease as a framework, labour-intensive service sectors such as healthcare and education will face persistently rising costs. This raises a critical question: When society pays higher prices for these services, does citizens’ wellbeing actually improve?

3. The Boundaries of Growth and the New Paradigm of “Planetary Health”: Current economic activities are approaching the Earth’s carrying capacity. Professor Liu’s team has developed the “Planetary Health Coordinate System,” which uses AI to integrate tens of thousands of variables. The system explores the interconnections between humanity, other species, the environment, and society, and advances a new developmental paradigm for the harmonious coexistence of humans and the planet.

Subsequently, Liu Chenghui, Founder and CEO of YIZHE AI, gave an engaging presentation titled “The Application and Implementation of Large AI Models and Intelligent Agents in Long-Term Health Management.” He acknowledged that traditional health management relies heavily on personal discipline—altering lifestyle habits, maintaining exercise routines, and undergoing regular check-ups all require considerable willpower. Since its inception, YIZHE AI has therefore dedicated itself to bridging this gap through technology, enabling health management to seamlessly integrate into daily life via AI. Mr. Liu explained that the intelligent health system developed by his team leverages large models and intelligent agent technology to shift the focus from passive intervention to active companionship. Through behavioural analysis, personalised reminders, and sustained positive reinforcement, the system enhances the efficiency and continuity of healthcare institutions’ management while directly supporting users in achieving their health goals.

Roundtable Discussion

Huang Zhuo, Vice Dean of Peking University’s National School of Development, analysed the foundational logic of AI-medical cross-innovation from an academic perspective, emphasising that technological implementation must balance scientific rigour with practical utility. Zhao Bowen shared insights into quantitative technology practices, highlighting breakthrough applications of data-driven disease prediction that make “precision medicine” more than a slogan. Dr. Zou Xiaoliang addressed industry pain points, proposing that AI-empowered healthcare requires closing the “technology-scenario-user” loop. Drawing on frontline clinical experience, Professor Sun Xiaorong detailed how AI-assisted diagnosis improves primary healthcare efficiency, ensuring technology truly serves public health.

Finally, Professor Huang Zhuo concluded that we are currently at a pivotal juncture for the deep integration of AI and healthcare. He expressed hope that academia and industry would continue such in-depth dialogues to jointly explore sustainable, implementable innovation pathways, thereby enabling AI technology to genuinely empower the construction of a Healthy China.
