A Chinese start-up from prestigious Tsinghua University has started internal tests of its virtual hospital platform powered by artificial intelligence (AI).
The platform developed by Tairex, a company set up in September under the university’s Institute for Al Industry Research (AIR), features 42 AI doctors covering 21 departments that include emergency, respiratory, paediatrics and cardiology, according to an AIR blog post published last month.
Public tests of the platform, named Agent Hospital, will be conducted in the first quarter of 2025, with the goal of making the system available to the general public later in the first half of next year, according to the institute.
Based in Wuxi, eastern Jiangsu province, Tairex has created more than 500,000 AI patients from different regions, age groups and illnesses for its virtual hospital platform, according to its website.
