Hong Kong's public hospitals plan to use artificial intelligence to identify and treat high-risk patients earlier, according to local reports.
Dr Cheung Ngai-tseung, head of IT and health informatics at the Hospital Authority, said they aim to integrate AI into the clinical management system to personalise treatments for over 10 million patients. The technology could include disease-specific tools and enhanced communication methods.
Currently, the Hospital Authority’s app allows access to patient records and updates. The new AI features may include prescription reminders and lab results displayed by a virtual blue elf, RTHK reported.
