I’ve had great results with using regular AI chatbots to diagnose things or analyze test results. It has led to much more productive visits with my doctor. I’m lucky to have a doctor that is open to listening and judging the information on its merit. There’s just too little time per patient otherwise so I think this actually helps them do their job well.
> Since the release of DeepSeek R1 in January, hundreds of hospitals have incorporated the model into their processes. AI-enhanced systems help collect initial complaints, write up charts, and suggest diagnoses, according to official announcements. Partnering with tech companies, large hospitals use patient data to train their own specialized models. One hospital in Sichuan province introduced “DeepJoint,” a model for orthopaedics that analyzes CT or MRI scans to generate surgical plans. A hospital in Beijing developed “Stone Chat AI,” which answers patients’ questions about urinary tract stones.
Amazing to see China lean into it. It’ll be years before Europe or America try these things, and I bet professional organizations and boards and regulators will do everything they can to slow down this evolution.
