BEIJING (Worthy News)—China has unveiled the world’s first Artificial Intelligence (AI) hospital, with robot doctors who can treat thousands of patients daily.
Officials say the virtual facility, dubbed “Agent Hospital,” will be staffed with 14 AI doctors and four AI nurses.
Unlike people, the doctors at the virtual hospital can treat up to 10,000 patients within days.
According to experts, human doctors would take at least two years to achieve the same numbers.
Before the inauguration, the AI doctors were reportedly tested based on the U.S. Medical License Exam questions, and all of them scored an accuracy rate of 93.06 percent.
AGENT HOSPITAL
The Agent Hospital was designed by AI researchers from Tsinghua University in China’s capital, Beijing.
Organizers say the “aim was to transform how patients engage with doctors, making healthcare more accessible and the procedures quicker.”
The hospital will be operational by the end of 2024.
Its AI program was due to be wheeled out to medical universities to help train real-life doctors.
If it’s up to the government, virtual doctors will eventually be seen at the bedside of patients at hospitals across China.
Research team leader Liu Yang said the AI hospital would also be able “to predict” and “stimulate medical scenarios” such as the next pandemic outbreak.
