On the afternoon of April 16th, a release event for medical corpus achievements was successfully held at the Chengmai Center. The event saw the release of the first batch of high-quality medical corpora and usage management rules to national AI healthcare enterprises and research institutions. It also included the signing of data supply agreements with ecosystem partners and strategic cooperation agreements for data circulation, officially embarking on a new journey of compliant circulation of medical data elements to empower the industry.
At the event, three clinical-grade specialized corpora were officially released: Physical Examination & Health, Weight Management, and Ultrasound Medical Imaging. These are high-quality medical corpora that have been meticulously annotated under expert guidance, covering multiple diseases and modalities. They provide an authoritative, secure, and usable data foundation for research and application in scenarios such as health risk assessment, chronic disease prevention and intervention, and intelligent assisted diagnosis. Currently, efforts are accelerating to jointly build a medical corpus center with the City People’s Hospital and the Luohu Hospital Group. Five additional corpora—Pathology, Radiology Quality Control, GCP, CT, and DR—are also being rapidly developed. In the future, this will form a matrix of medical corpora across eight specialized fields.
To ensure the secure and compliant use of data, the “Luohu District Medical Corpus Usage Management Rules” were introduced at the event. These rules implement a management model featuring categorized applications, full-process compliance, and portable results, adhering to the principles of data not leaving the domain and full-process traceability. This allows enterprises and research institutions to use the data with confidence and innovate freely within the compliant framework.
During the ecosystem cooperation segment, strategic agreements were signed. The District Bureau of Science, Technology, and Industry Information Technology completed medical corpus data supply agreements with three ecosystem partners. The District Bureau of Government Services and Data Management reached a strategic cooperation agreement with the Shenzhen Data Exchange on medical corpus circulation. Together, they will research key mechanisms such as data rights confirmation, pricing, and circulation, innovatively exploring the “Luohu Path” for compliant medical data circulation.
This release event is a significant measure by the district to implement market-oriented reforms for data elements and promote the deep integration of the data industry with the life and health industry. Moving forward, the district will continue to build and utilize the medical corpora effectively, open up more application scenarios, attract national AI healthcare innovation resources, and promote the deep integration of “data + algorithms + scenarios + industry.” The goal is to gradually achieve an ecological closed loop from data supply to scenario empowerment, and further to industry leadership, creating a “Luohu Model” for the market-oriented allocation reform of data elements.
Chengmai Center
The Chengmai Center is a modern cultural and commercial complex located in Haikou, Hainan Province, China. It serves as a key hub for business, shopping, and entertainment, reflecting Hainan’s rapid development as an international tourism and free trade destination. While the center itself is a contemporary construction (opened in the 2010s), it is situated in a region with a long history, as Hainan Island has been part of Chinese civilization for over two millennia.
City People’s Hospital
City People’s Hospital is a modern public healthcare facility in Shenzhen, China, established in the early 1980s to serve the rapidly growing population of the new Special Economic Zone. It has since expanded into a major comprehensive hospital, reflecting the city’s development from a small town into a global metropolis focused on innovation and public welfare.
Luohu Hospital Group
The Luohu Hospital Group is a major public healthcare network in Shenzhen, China, established to serve the rapidly growing population of the Luohu District. It was founded in the early years of Shenzhen’s development as a Special Economic Zone, evolving from a basic community clinic into a comprehensive medical consortium. Today, it represents the modernization of China’s urban healthcare system, integrating several hospitals and community health centers under one management to improve medical service efficiency and access.
Luohu District Medical Corpus Usage Management Rules
The “Luohu District Medical Corpus Usage Management Rules” is not a cultural site or place, but a regulatory document. It is a set of administrative guidelines established by the Luohu District authorities in Shenzhen, China, to govern the collection, storage, and application of medical data for purposes such as public health research and management. Its history is tied to China’s ongoing development of digital healthcare systems and data governance frameworks in the 21st century.
District Bureau of Science, Technology, and Industry Information Technology
The District Bureau of Science, Technology, and Industry Information Technology is a local Chinese government administrative office, typically found at the district or county level. Its primary function is to implement and manage regional policies related to technological development, industrial innovation, and information infrastructure, rather than being a historical or cultural site. These bureaus are modern institutions, established as part of China’s ongoing efforts to drive scientific and technological progress and digital transformation within its local economies.
District Bureau of Government Services and Data Management
The District Bureau of Government Services and Data Management is a modern administrative entity, typically established in the 21st century by local Chinese governments. It was created to centralize public services and leverage digital technology, reflecting China’s nationwide push for “Internet + Government Services” and more integrated, data-driven governance to improve efficiency and accessibility for citizens.
Shenzhen Data Exchange
The Shenzhen Data Exchange is a pioneering marketplace established in late 2021 to facilitate the secure and compliant trading of data as a commodity. It was created as a key national pilot project under China’s broader strategy to develop a data element market and digital economy. The exchange aims to standardize transactions, protect rights, and unlock the value of data assets in a regulated environment.
Luohu Path
Luohu Path is a historic pedestrian street in Shenzhen, China, originally established in the early 20th century near the border with Hong Kong. It became a major commercial hub and crossing point, famously known for its bustling trade and the iconic Luohu Bridge, which connected the two regions. Today, it remains a vibrant shopping and transit area, reflecting Shenzhen’s rapid development from a border town into a modern metropolis.
