作为医疗数字化转型的核心载体，云计算技术正推动行业步入以"医疗上云"为特征的新发展阶段。国家《"十四五"全民健康信息化规划》首次将医疗信息系统云化部署纳入战略布局，标志着我国医疗信息化建设正式迈入云端化、集约化、智能化新周期。
“医疗上云”的背后离不开需要基础技术、综合成本、行业认知和内在需求等多方面的合力，历经十余年技术迭代，云计算基础设施已具备支撑核心医疗业务的能力，传统本地化部署模式正被云端SaaS服务逐步取代。这种转变不仅降低IT基础设施的重复建设成本，更通过持续迭代的云服务模式，使医疗机构能够快速获取AI辅助诊断、智能质控等创新应用。
可以预见，医疗信息化的迭代周期，将是以医疗上云为核心内容的新老替代式迭代，而非过去二十年间以功能、结构为主导的升级式迭代。
大变局时代下云生态大势所趋，面临新的机遇窗口。深耕医疗信息化20载的星之湖（NovaLake）是国内较早涉足医疗云的厂商之一，始终引领行业技术革新。
-2015年，开启医疗SaaS服务元年

-2024年，推动医疗云产品线全线AI化，加速行业智能化进程，助力智慧医疗发展
-2025年，即将发布一体化AI医疗云产品NovaLake 1.0，为医疗机构提升效率与服务
值得一提的是，自2016年设计一体化云架构起，星之湖就以国产化替代作为产品研发的关键目标之一，其一体化医疗云全系产品已全面支持自主可控全国产化替代。
当前，医疗云正从基础资源供给向智能服务赋能演进。未来，随着边缘计算与云原生技术的深度融合，医疗信息化将呈现"云端智能决策+边缘实时响应"的新形态，为智慧医院建设、紧密型医共体、区域智慧医疗运作提供更强大的数字底座。这场由政策驱动、技术支撑的云端变革，正在重塑中国医疗服务的效率边界与质量标杆。
As the core vehicle for healthcare digital transformation, cloud computing technology is propelling the industry into a new development phase characterized by "Healthcare Cloud Adoption." China's "14th Five-Year Plan for National Health Informatization" has, for the first time, incorporated the cloud deployment of medical information systems into its strategic framework, marking the official entry of China's healthcare informatization into a new cycle of cloud-based, integrated, and intelligent development.
The development of cloud adoption in healthcare is driven by multiple factors, including foundational technologies, overall cost, industry awareness, and intrinsic demand. After more than a decade of technological evolution, cloud infrastructure has matured to the point where it can support core healthcare operations. As a result, traditional on-premises deployment models are gradually being replaced by cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions. This transformation not only reduces the costs associated with redundant IT system investments, but also enables healthcare institutions to more efficiently access innovative applications such as AI-assisted diagnostics and intelligent quality control through continuously evolving cloud service models.
It is foreseeable that the iteration cycle of healthcare informatization will be a replacement iteration centered on healthcare cloud adoption, rather than the function- and structure-driven upgrades of the past two decades.
In an era of profound transformation, the rise of cloud ecosystems has become an inevitable trend, presenting new windows of opportunity. With 20 years of deep expertise in healthcare informatics, NovaLake is one of the earliest vendors in China to engage in healthcare cloud innovation and has consistently led technological advancement in the industry.
2015, Initiated the first year of medical SaaS services.
2016, Pioneered the layout of medical cloud services, launching a series of integrated medical cloud products. The self-developed, market-first medical cloud SaaS product was implemented in Bozhou, Anhui.
2018, Released the integrated medical cloud strategy; the first prefecture-level city-wide regional medical cloud project received high recognition from the National Health Commission.
2019, Began exploring AI applications in healthcare, focusing on medical data intelligence and AI-assisted decision-making.
2020, Further promoted the full-cloud product strategy.
2021, All product lines have been fully migrated to the cloud, accompanied by the comprehensive implementation of a middle-platform strategy. A health and medical big data solution has also been launched.
2022, The Trusted and Indigenous Innovation (Xinchuang) Healthcare Cloud Strategy was fully implemented, with Suizhou becoming the first city in China to deploy a Xinchuang-based healthcare cloud platform.
2024, Promoted the full AI integration of the medical cloud product line, accelerating the industry's intelligent transformation and supporting the development of smart healthcare.
2025, Set to release the integrated AI medical cloud product NovaLake 1.0, enhancing efficiency and services for healthcare institutions.
Notably, since the design of its unified cloud architecture in 2016, NovaLake has made domestic substitution (localization) a core objective in product development. Its full suite of integrated healthcare cloud products now fully supports secure, controllable, and fully localized replacements using domestically developed technologies.
The healthcare cloud is now evolving from basic infrastructure provisioning to intelligent service enablement. In the future, with the deep integration of edge computing and cloud-native technologies, healthcare IT will take on a new form: "cloud-powered intelligent decision-making + edge-based real-time responsiveness." This will provide a stronger digital foundation for smart hospitals, tightly integrated healthcare consortia, and regional smart healthcare systems. Driven by national policy and cutting-edge technology, this transformation is reshaping the boundaries of efficiency and quality in China’s healthcare system.
