Chinese researchers have developed an AI hospital town, similar to Stanford’s AI town, which went viral last year. The AI hospital, named “Agent Hospital,” was developed by researchers from Tsinghua University.
中国研究人员开发了一个人工智能医院小镇，类似于去年火爆的斯坦福大学人工智能小镇。这家人工智能医院名为“代理医院”，由清华大学研究人员研发。
The researchers highlighted the potential of this innovative approach to healthcare, with the AI hospital town featuring virtual patients treated by AI doctors, which are designed to autonomously evolve and improve their medical expertise.
研究人员强调了这种创新医疗方法的潜力，人工智能医院小镇以由人工智能医生治疗的虚拟患者为特色，旨在自主发展和提高他们的医疗专业知识。
All doctors, nurses and patients in the virtual environment are driven by large language model (LLM)-powered intelligent agents capable of autonomous interaction.
虚拟环境中的所有医生、护士和患者均由能够自主交互的大型语言模型（ LLM ）驱动的智能代理驱动。
According to the team, AI doctors can treat 10,000 patients in just a few days, a task that would take human doctors at least two years.
据该团队介绍，人工智能医生可以在短短几天内治疗 10,000 名患者，而这项任务需要人类医生至少两年的时间。
What’s more, the AI doctors have reportedly achieved a 93.06% accuracy rate on the MedQA dataset, simulating the entire process of patient care from diagnosis to follow-up.
更重要的是，据报道，人工智能医生在 MedQA 数据集上实现了 93.06% 的准确率，模拟了患者从诊断到随访的整个护理过程。
The AI hospital includes various consultation and examination rooms, which are staffed by 14 doctor agents and four nursing agents. This set-up aims to optimise warehouse operations and enhance training for medical students by allowing them to propose treatment plans in a risk-free environment.
人工智能医院设有多个咨询室和检查室，配备14名医生和4名护理人员。这一设置旨在优化仓库运营，并通过允许医学生在无风险的环境中提出治疗计划来加强对他们的培训。
Liu Yang, leader of the Agent Hospital project, explained the transformative potential of this AI innovation for real-world healthcare.
代理医院项目负责人刘洋解释了这一人工智能创新对现实世界医疗保健的变革潜力。
“The concept of an AI hospital town, where virtual patients are treated by AI doctors, holds immense significance for both medical professionals and the general public,” the Beijing-based Global Times reported, citing recent interviews.
北京《环球时报》援引最近的采访报道称：“人工智能医院小镇的概念，即由人工智能医生治疗虚拟患者，对医疗专业人士和公众都具有巨大意义。”
“The AI hospital aims to train doctor agents through a simulated environment so that it can autonomously evolve and improve its ability to treat disease.”
“人工智能医院旨在通过模拟环境训练医生代理人，使其能够自主进化，提高治疗疾病的能力。”
The AI hospital town could provide high-quality, affordable and convenient healthcare services, leveraging a vast repository of medical knowledge. It can also simulate and predict medical scenarios, such as the spread of infectious diseases.
人工智能医院小镇可以利用海量的医学知识库，提供优质、实惠、便捷的医疗服务。它还可以模拟和预测医疗场景，例如传染病的传播。
Despite the promising prospects, significant challenges remain, including strict adherence to national medical regulations and ensuring AI-human collaboration.
尽管前景光明，但仍然存在重大挑战，包括严格遵守国家医疗法规和确保人工智能与人类的协作。
Dr. Dong Jiahong of Tsinghua University noted that while AI can enhance healthcare precision and efficiency, it cannot replace the personalised care and compassion provided by human doctors.
清华大学董家洪博士指出，人工智能虽然可以提高医疗精准度和效率，但无法取代人类医生提供的个性化护理和同情心。
