Beijing, June 2025 — China has launched the world’s first fully AI-powered hospital, Agent Hospital, developed by Tsinghua University’s Institute for AI Industry Research (AIR). This revolutionary virtual hospital is set to transform healthcare delivery globally.
What is the Agent Hospital?
- Fully AI-driven: 14 AI doctors and 4 AI nurses powered by advanced large language models (LLMs).
- Virtual environment: Operates in a simulated hospital setting with AI-generated patients.
- Autonomous care: Handles registration, consultation, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and follow-up independently.

Key Highlights & Achievements
- Massive patient throughput: Treats over 10,000 simulated patients in just a few days — equivalent to nearly two years of human doctor workload.
- High diagnostic accuracy: Over 93% accuracy in diagnosing respiratory diseases on the MedQA dataset.
- Comprehensive care: Manages pre-hospital triage, in-hospital treatment, and post-hospital follow-up autonomously.
- Training platform: Provides a safe, risk-free environment for medical students to practice and learn.
