Advanced telemedicine system with virtual doctor

This invention describes a telemedicine system where an AI "virtual doctor" can treat patients instead of a human doctor in certain situations. A local attendant and software first check if the patient needs a human or can be handled by the AI. The AI system uses a knowledge base and an inference engine to make treatment decisions, potentially using data from wearable devices, while human doctors remotely monitor and can intervene. The claims specifically focus on selecting a virtual doctor AI system with a particular knowledge base size.

Why it matters: In 2016, building a robust 'knowledge-based system' and 'inference engine' for medical diagnosis was a monumental task. Today, advancements in AI, especially large language models, could significantly streamline the development and intelligence of such a 'virtual doctor' system.
