Health care in China is set to benefit from multi-billion dollar investments from the government in AI start-ups and research. Currently, 131 companies are working on integration of AI into the Chinese health care system, where there are only 1.8 practising physicians per 1,000 citizens. For example, home health monitoring technology powered by AI could help the frail and elderly stay connected with professional caregivers, to ensure they receive timely care when needed. The report also highlights that healthcare providers will be able to use artificial intelligence (AI) for a variety of tasks including patient monitoring, diagnosis and prognosis, as well as data analysis and decision making. It can also be used to organise vast amounts of health care data, analyse medical images, and provide information about chronic illnesses. It can additionally be used as a healthy-living tool, as the focus shifts to prevention.
