SenseTime, a Hong Kong-listed AI company, plans to spin off its healthcare platform to facilitate its growth amid the rise of large language models (LLMs) in the medical industry.

The platform provides AI solutions for diagnostics, treatment assistance, and patient services for hospital groups.

Professor Li Hongsheng, chief scientist for medical foundation models at SenseTime Healthcare, highlighted that the platform combines AI algorithms with image post-processing technology to support patient care.

The AI-assisted platform guides patients from booking appointments to post-discharge care.

Patients can explain their symptoms to the AI, which directs them to the right department. After discharge, the platform offers follow-up care, with human doctors verifying AI-generated results.

The new healthcare entity will leverage SenseTime’s expertise in LLMs, similar to those behind generative AI models like ChatGPT.
