China sets the pace in adoption of AI in healthcare technology

A live-stream video of a 76-year-old woman pottering about her kitchen plays on Li Hong's phone. Li is in London, 8,700km from her mother in the Chinese city of Kunming. Li has narrowed the distance between them by installing cameras in her mother's apartment, where she lives alone. The system has built-in microphones and speakers, enabling the pair to discuss the latest readings from the blood pressure monitor of Li's mother, who has a heart condition. "It's like I am back in China with her. The technology is so convenient," says Li.
