After its launch on Jan 18 and nearly a month of internal testing, Beijing Children’s Hospital’s artificial intelligence model specializing in pediatrics faced the task of diagnosing and treating its first patient on Feb 13.

The first case involved an 8-year-old boy who for three weeks had been experiencing persistent ticks, which are habitual spasmodic muscle contractions.

A mass discovered at the base of the boy’s skull two weeks earlier presented a complex medical condition for which diagnostic results across multiple hospitals had proved inconsistent.

Ni Xin, head of the hospital, along with 13 renowned experts from different departments, conducted in-depth discussions regarding the boy’s condition. They concluded that further MRI evaluation was necessary and recommended expediting the completion of the required examinations.
