World’s First AI Hospital, world record set by China
Beijing, China--The Tairex Agent Hospital, a virtual healthcare system developed by Tairex, a Wuxi-based Chinese research company has 42 artificial intelligence doctors, covering 21 clinical departments, supporting the diagnosis of more than 1,000 diseases, setting the world record for the World’s First AI Hospital, according to the WORLD RECORD ACADEMY.
"Tairex Agent Hospital (Chinese: 紫荊AI醫院; pinyin: Zǐjīng AI yīyuàn) is a virtual healthcare system developed by Tairex (Chinese: 紫荊智康; pinyin: Zǐjīng zhìkāng), a Wuxi-based Chinese research company established in September 2024 that incubated by Institute for AI Industry Research of Tsinghua University.

"Initiated by Liu Yang, a professor in the university's Computer Science Department, Tairex Agent Hospital is aiming to support healthcare services through online systems, promote a balanced distribution of medical resources, and provide high-quality medical services to users worldwide. The system has 42 artificial intelligence doctors, covering 21 clinical departments, supporting the diagnosis of more than 1,000 diseases.
"On June 30, 2025, the company released an intelligent healthcare system called Agent Hospital 1, based on a large language model, and collaborations have been confirmed with medical institutions in regions such as Beijing, Jiangsu, and Guangxi. The first human patient of the system was accepted in an internal test in July 2025."
"In November 2025, it announced the completion of nearly RMB 100 million in angel round, which will be used for the research and development of its core product, Tairex Agent Hospital system—an intelligent agent‑centric virtual healthcare world where doctors, nurses, and patients are all driven by artificial intelligence based on large language models.

"The system simulates the entire healthcare process—from patient registration and consultation to examination, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up—and can interact autonomously to enhance disease diagnosis and treatment capabilities and efficiency.
"Until the end of 2025, Tairex Agent Hospital has created a database of over 500,000 AI patient cases covering different regions, age groups and disease types. Through continuous learning from large-scale case data, it simulates how human doctors accumulate experience and improve diagnostic accuracy in clinical practice.0
" The system currently covers 21 clinical departments, including emergency medicine, thoracic medicine, pediatrics, dermatology and cardiology. With 42 AI doctors, the system can treat 10,000 patients within just a few days and have achieved an accuracy rate over 96% on the MedQA medical question-answering dataset, supporting diagnosis across more than 1,000 disease types."
"China’s ambitions for artificial intelligence are staggering. The country is projected to invest more than US$1.4 trillion into AI development by 2030, a figure that eclipses the GDP of many nations. But what’s perhaps more astonishing is where some of that investment is already landing: hospitals powered not by humans, but by AI doctors,"the
Med Tech reports.
"In 2024,
Tsinghua University made headlines with the launch of the
world’s first AI hospital, Agent Hospital—a concept that blends virtual AI agents, clinical care, and real-world pilot deployment into one tightly integrated system. Now that vision is being refined, tested, and expanded across China in what might be one of the most ambitious attempts to reimagine modern healthcare.
"And finally, by creating a pool of half a million synthetic patient cases to test and evolve diagnostic accuracy. These AI doctors can treat 10,000 patients with 93% accuracy in a matter of days, a feat that would take real doctors years to complete. Furthermore, these doctors aren’t chatbots; they’re AI systems capable of autonomously working with AI generated patients in a fully-fledged closed-loop ecosystem.
China’s Agent Hospital is the world's first fully AI-powered virtual medical facility, developed by researchers at Tsinghua University.
Overview of Agent Hospital
- The Concept: It is a simulated, autonomous healthcare environment where artificial intelligence agents handle patient care workflows from triage and diagnosis to prescriptions and follow-ups.
- Staffing: The platform features virtual teams—initially launched with a core group of 14 AI doctors and 4 nurses, expanding in upgraded iterations to 42 AI doctors across 21 medical specialties covering over 300 diseases.
- Capacity and Speed: Powered by training on over 500,000 synthetic patient cases, the AI agents can diagnose and treat thousands of virtual patients daily, achieving over 93% accuracy on medical benchmark datasets like MedQA.
- Purpose: The virtual hospital is designed to accelerate medical research, safely test clinical agent behavior, and train future medical workflows without risking real human patients.
"For an 80-year-old Beijing resident surnamed Ye, a hospital visit starts long before she reaches the door. At home, she logs into a mobile platform, types in her symptoms, uploads past prescriptions and test reports, and receives a preliminary assessment.
"It organizes my medical history and even flags issues I might have overlooked," she said. "I feel more prepared and less anxious about the visit," the
China Daily reports.
The tool is part of Agent Hospital, an AI-driven healthcare support system developed by Tsinghua University's Institute for AI Industry Research. The program has been undergoing extended trials in six Beijing hospitals and two in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. Developers hope it will make visits easier for patients while helping doctors with diagnostics and follow-up care."
