New system to reduce waiting time for parents, children in Shanghai hospital

A new artificial intelligence system, developed by Yitu Healthcare, the healthcare arm of Yitu Technology, will reduce waiting times for parents and children visiting a hospital in Shanghai.

Embedded into the official WeChat account of the Shanghai Children's Medical Center, the system integrates AI application with the entire outpatient process, including making reservations and online pre-diagnosis.

Parents can input their children's symptoms and receive suggestions from the AI system about which departments and doctors they should register with for medical help.
