Baidu CEO and chairman Robin Li called on the technology sector on Tuesday to "join hands" with the health sector to tackle more of the world's health problems.

"If we can marry these two together then I think magic can happen. It's very exciting to think about the application of Internet Plus in health," Li said.

Speaking as part of a panel of experts at the Ninth Global Conference on Health Promotion in Shanghai, Li suggested that health companies utilize the openness of the internet and big data to empower people to lead healthier lives.

Li was joined on stage by Margaret Chan, director-general of the World Health Organization, who described healthcare as "one of the most, if not the most, conservative sectors". She said the sector needs the help of technological innovators to help countries achieve the Sustainable Development Goals set out in the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

One of the issues Li has noticed during his recent forays into the health industry is the "low expectations" of the technology sector among medical professionals.

Making a medical database searchable, for example, can be solved by one server, Li said. "We have 500."

More than 60 million medical and health-related queries are performed on Baidu every day, according to Li, highlighting the growing reliance on the internet for self-diagnosis.
