In March 2025, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University launched China’s first AI medical application integrating dialect-based diagnostic capabilities: "Kuanren Slow Disease Manager" ("宽仁慢病通"). This Sichuan-Chongqing dialect-speaking "smart doctor" addresses communication challenges for elderly chronic disease patients, offering core functions such as dialect-based consultations, report interpretation, and chronic condition monitoring to enhance accessibility and efficiency in grassroots healthcare.
Developed under the support of Chongqing’s Municipal Key Project on Technology Innovation and Application Development and the hospital’s special fund, the app took one year to create. It incorporates a dialect medical corpus built from thousands of Sichuan-Chongqing dialect consultation dialogues, with standardized medical terms annotated by professional physicians. Beyond dialect consultations, the AI can analyze medication photos, set reminders, and warn against duplicate drug risks, enabling intelligent medication management.
To ensure clinical reliability, the research team developed a three-tier verification system:Firstly, Initial screening by clinical experts using the EB-RAG authoritative medical knowledge base;Secondly,Advanced reasoning via the DeepSeek-R1 large model to generate recommendations;Thirdly, Final review by the system to guarantee accuracy.
