SHENYANG (Xinhua): The novel coronavirus epidemic may have temporarily affected economic activities across China but many tech companies and internet firms are playing their parts in the fight against the epidemic and contributing to the growth of the country's economy.

Some tech companies have brought their newest medical products and services to join in the fight against the virus and many internet firms have seen strong business growth during the period.

With advanced technologies such as laser positioning, intelligent navigation and human-computer interaction, medical delivery robots can help health workers spray disinfectants and hand out medicine to patients. The electric adjustable beds allow infected patients to eat in bed and assist them to sit up and roll over.

Fresh food delivery app Missfresh saw sales soar 3.5 times year on year during the nine-day Spring Festival holiday, while the fresh food subsidiary of e-commerce giant JD.com saw sales surge 2.15 times. Cloud-related services, from cloud education to remote medical consultation and cloud working, also saw rapid growth amid the epidemic.

Remote medical consultation services are also bustling as they can help prevent cross-infections and ease pressure on hospitals.
