Artificial intelligence (AI) is profoundly transforming the landscape of medical services, showcasing immense potential across diagnosis, treatment, and health management. In Shenzhen, numerous hospitals have embraced AI-assisted systems to enhance the patient experience. For instance, the AI pathology model developed by the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University has markedly boosted diagnostic efficiency, while AI applications in intensive care units (ICUs) assist doctors in making swift and informed decisions. The smart medical industry continues to flourish, with the number of enterprises surpassing 150,000 in 2024, led by Guangdong, Shanghai, and Jiangsu provinces. Nevertheless, technological advancements also bring forth challenges such as privacy protection and algorithm fairness, necessitating collaborative efforts from all stakeholders to ensure the sustainable and healthy development of smart medical care.
