When 57-year-old Shenzhen resident Li Hualiang considered dental implants, his hypertension and heart disease cast doubt on the procedure’s safety. His solution? An artificial intelligence-powered consultation at Luohu People’s Hospital, where advanced algorithms now guide complex medical decisions.
Within moments of describing his symptoms, AI optimized Li’s care pathway—automatically prioritizing his cardiac evaluation. By the time he reached the cardiologist’s office, the system had compiled his health history into digestible insights. Eight seconds later, diagnostic suggestions appeared alongside tailored risk assessments for dental surgery.
This efficiency reflects Shenzhen’s groundbreaking push to deploy AI across 16 medical categories, spanning 63 practical applications. Nearly 450 AI tools now operate in local hospitals, from community clinics to regional centers.
“For patients with overlapping conditions, AI fills knowledge gaps between specialties,” explained Dr. Pei Xiaoyang, director of cardiovascular medicine at Luohu Hospital. “It suggests medication adjustments and risk evaluations we might overlook, enhancing precision in multidisciplinary cases.”
Shenzhen’s model showcases China’s tech-driven healthcare transformation, blending cutting-edge innovation with patient-centric solutions. As AI reshapes triage, diagnosis, and treatment planning globally, this coastal tech hub positions itself at the forefront of medical evolution.
