Eleven "Shanghai standard" projects for this year were announced on Monday, covering digital governance, digital economy, digital life, artificial intelligence, biomedicine, finance and advanced manufacturing.

Requirements and implementation plans for one-stop government affairs services, smart elevator monitoring, tunnel operation and maintenance service, biomedicine quality control laboratories, medical treatment payment and facial recognition system technologies were some notable items on the list of future projects, according to the Shanghai Administration for Market Regulation.

Among these, a one-stop medical treatment payment implementation plan by Shanghai's Renji Hospital is the only hospital project given the "Shanghai standard", and it fills a vacuum in the area.
