A team of engineers at The Chinese University of Hong Kong has developed an AI-based blood pressure management system, Dr PAI (Personalized AI Doctor), integrating wearable technology with DeepSeek’s large language model for continuous monitoring. The system tracks dynamic blood pressure changes and heart rate variability 24/7, analyzing multimodal data such as photoplethysmography signals to provide real-time health assessments, dietary advice, and exercise recommendations. Dr PAI mimics doctor-patient communication, analyzing long-term interactions and daily monitoring data to offer reliable diagnostic insights and treatment suggestions.
Currently in clinical trials, Dr PAI is set for launch by year-end. Researchers highlight its potential to provide cost-effective blood pressure management, particularly for underserved rural populations. The open-source, lightweight AI model operates on low-computation devices, making it accessible without expensive equipment, ultimately promoting equitable healthcare and reducing strain on medical systems.
DeepSeek LLMs, known for competing with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, are increasingly integrated into health IT systems in China. ClouDr, South China Hospital, and Akso Health Group have adopted DeepSeek AI for diagnostics and medical assistance, while Waterdrop utilizes it for smart insurance services.
