AI hospitals to revolutionize domestic healthcare services

When a 71-year-old man, surnamed Hong, from Hefei, Anhui province, developed an unexpected headache, his grandson took him to a hospital to see a doctor.

Their first stop at the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China was the inquiry station to find out which department they needed to go to.They were greeted by a "nurse" who asked what symptoms Hong had and then told them to go to the Neurology Department and showed them the way on a 3-D map.

The "nurse", however, was not a person, but a robot using artificial intelligence.
