On January 15, 2024, it was learned that the Grand Canal Campus of Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine, recently introduced AI doctor assistants during trial operation. Patients can use the WeChat mini-program "Shao Yi Smart Clinic" by scanning the display board in the hospital, complete the condition entry according to the page prompts, and generate pre-consultation medical records, so that doctors can understand the medical history in advance. This applet is an AI physician assistant based on a large language model. Ding Yong, director of the outpatient department of Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital of Zhejiang University, told reporters that AI doctor assistants can ask questions and guide patients by simulating the diagnosis and treatment thinking of clinicians, conduct multiple rounds of voice dialogues with one question and one answer, and quickly complete the collection of medical information such as patients' main symptoms, accompanying symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, and family history, and generate a complete pre-consultation case.

1 Surgical robot: Zhiyu Medical waterjet surgical robot completed the first clinical trial operation of waterjet robot in China
Recently, the waterjet surgical robot independently developed by Zhiyu Medical has successfully completed the first clinical trial operation of the waterjet robot in China. This is of great significance to rapidly improve the clinical application level of China's prostatic hyperplasia waterjet robot and break the monopoly of foreign brand markets. Combined with the characteristics of waterjet itself without heat, high efficiency and tissue selective cutting, the waterjet robotic surgery is precisely controlled by the computer, giving full play to the advantages of automatic operation of the robot, liberating the surgeon's hands, greatly reducing the doctor's repetitive operation, and protecting the patient's urinary control and sexual function to the greatest extent.

A team of scientists in the United States has created a new drug delivery system that can wirelessly receive commands from a smartphone or computer to schedule and trigger the release of a single microneedle. The thin, soft platform of patch-on-demand (SOP) resembles a plaster and is designed to improve the user's comfort and convenience, as wearability is a key factor for patients with chronic diseases. The technique, led by a research team led by Dr. Juan Song, professor of pharmacology at the University of North Carolina (UNC) School of Medicine, and Dr. Wubin Bai, assistant professor of applied physical sciences at the UCN College of Arts and Sciences, tested the use of patches in a mouse model to improve sleep using melatonin in microneedles. The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, opens the door to studying this wirelessly controlled patch on demand** for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
