World's First AI Doctor Clinic Opens in Al-Ahsa
Saudi Arabia has launched what is being described as the world's first artificial intelligence-led doctor clinic in the eastern region of Al-Ahsa. The facility, opened by Almoosa Health Group in partnership with Chinese firm Synyi AI, marks a global first in using AI as the primary point of care—while maintaining human medical oversight for safety.
At the clinic, patients consult an AI doctor named 'Dr Hua' via tablet interface. The system uses a combination of voice recognition, medical imaging, and interactive questioning to assess symptoms and suggest diagnoses. Human assistants are present throughout the consultation to guide patients and collect supporting data.
The AI system currently covers 30 respiratory conditions, such as asthma and pharyngitis, and developers plan to expand its diagnostic range to 50 diseases, including those affecting the digestive and dermatological systems. Treatment plans generated by the AI are reviewed and approved by a licensed physician before any action is taken.
According to Synyi AI, pre-trial testing showed an error margin of 0.3%. The system uses large language models that have been adapted to Arabic and local medical terminology to better serve the region's patients. Human doctors remain on-site to verify results and respond to medical emergencies.
