Patients are seen by the AI doctor Dr. Hua, who collects complaints via tablet, analyzes medical data, and issues a treatment plan. It is then checked by a human doctor, and also intervenes in emergency cases.
"This is the final step towards allowing AI to diagnose and treat patients directly. In the previous testing phase, the AI error rate was less than 0.3 percent," said Zhang Shaodian, CEO of Synyi AI.
Dr. Hua currently works with 30 respiratory diseases, but plans include expanding to 50 diagnoses and opening new clinics.
Several dozen patients have already used the service for free. Once the trials are complete, the diagnostic data will be sent to Saudi Arabian authorities for approval. Permission could be granted within 18 months.
