Global debut! Southern Hospital, in collaboration with Huawei and multiple medical institutions, has released a hospital wide artificial intelligence platform (HAIP)

【Smart CityOnline Brand Column】On April 10, 2026, the "AI driven" event with the theme of "Digital Intelligence Integration Empowering Healthcare" will be heldSmart HospitalThe Summit Forum on Building a New Paradigm was held in Guangzhou. This forum is guided and supported by the Guangdong Provincial Health Commission and the Guangzhou Municipal Health Commission. It is jointly organized by Southern Hospital of Southern Medical University (hereinafter referred to as "Southern Hospital") and Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Huawei"). Leaders from relevant government departments, representatives from multiple top hospitals and medical information technology enterprises across the country attend the forum to explore in depth the path of AI technology's large-scale implementation in the medical industry. At the meeting, Southern Hospital, together with Huawei and industry partners, released the Hospital AI Platform (HAIP) and the "Hospital AI Platform Technology White Paper" for the first time globally, and unveiled the Joint Innovation Laboratory for Medical AI Full Scene Smart Hospitals, leading a new paradigm of smart healthcare.

The HAIP platform is a core achievement of Southern Hospital, Huawei, and medical industry partners in deepening medical engineering collaboration and promoting digital medical innovation. The platform is positioned as a hospital exclusive "AI operating system", integrating scattered AI capabilities into a shared, evolving, and empowering unified digital base by coordinating the computing power, data, and model resources of the entire hospital. It promotes the transformation of medical AI construction from "single point deployment and scattered application" to "unified planning and global collaboration".

HAIP adopts a three in one architecture of "capability base, intelligent center, and tool engine", relying on independent innovation computing power bases such as Ascend and Kunpeng to build a 100% independent innovation AIDC computing power cluster;DCSThe AI container base achieves computing power segmentation and intelligent task scheduling, increasing AI computing power utilization by more than 30%. By providing a unified data view for the entire hospital through an AI data lake, we can completely break down data silos and build a "data granary" for AI training; The knowledge base, memory bank, and KV Cache acceleration capability of the AI data platform enable millisecond level retrieval response, improving inference accuracy. Realize intelligent annotation of all types of data and generation of multimodal AI corpus through the ModelEngine artificial intelligence tool platform; The data flywheel supports rapid iteration of the model, and the more it is used, the more accurate it becomes; The platform has powerful NL2Agent natural language generative driven intelligent agent capabilities, allowing doctors to easily develop exclusive generative digital avatars without needing to understand code; The native multi-agent collaborative architecture supports the collaborative operation of various AI applications, and multi-level collaborative capabilities enable automated deployment, iteration, and upgrading of models between tertiary hospitals and grassroots medical institutions.

At present, Southern Hospital has implemented scenario based applications such as the comprehensive management model for chronic kidney disease - "Smart Kidney", perioperative anesthesia management model - "Southern Smart Anesthesia", pathology AI assisted diagnosis, medical record quality control, electronic medical record AI assistant, and "Southern Medical Xiao Zhi" intelligent agent center, covering clinical diagnosis and treatment, patient service, scientific research innovation, and operational management.

In the future, Southern Hospital will build a hospital level AI resource system through the cloud edge collaborative architecture of the general artificial intelligence platform HAIP and the general artificial intelligence assistant HAIC, carry out the construction of AI full scenario smart hospitals, and turn smart hospitals into "sustainable system engineering", realizing AI empowerment of doctors and grassroots, and helping to balance the layout of high-quality medical resources; At the same time, it supports the accumulation of expertise from renowned traditional Chinese medicine experts in hospitals into reusable digital assets, providing a replicable path of "intelligent base+business process empowerment" for global medical institutions.

During the forum, Southern Hospital and Huawei, together with several top hospitals and partners across the country, jointly released the "White Paper on Hospital General Artificial Intelligence Platform Technology". The white paper system elaborates on the HAIP design concept, technical architecture, and application scenarios, clarifies the core requirements and challenge response plans for medical AI construction, builds an open, efficient, and secure industry value system, and provides standardized reference and practical guidance for the national intelligent hospital AI platform construction.

In addition, Southern Hospital, together with Huawei and industry partners, unveiled the joint innovation laboratory for medical AI full scenario smart hospitals. The laboratory is based on collaborative innovation in medical engineering, integrating Huawei's globally leading digital intelligence base, clinical experience from Southern Hospital, and ecological partner resource advantages. It connects the transformation link of AI achievements from scientific research and development to clinical implementation, accelerates the transformation of intelligent medical innovation research achievements from the laboratory to the application front line, and from pilot scenarios to full scenario landing and coverage.

The summit forum held this time, along with the global launch of HAIP, is an important milestone for Southern Hospital, Huawei, and all medical industry partners to work together and tackle challenges. The platform is linked by technological innovation and supported by an open ecosystem. It uses technological innovation to solve the pain points of medical AI landing, reshapes the path of smart hospital construction with platform based solutions, sets a benchmark for the global development of "artificial intelligence+medical and health" towards standardization, scale, and inclusiveness, and provides a reference for global medical institutions to explore the transformation of medical intelligence through Chinese practices.
