DeepSeek Expands Across China's Leading Hospitals

A 2025 scoping review (searches through June 28, 2025) of DeepSeek deployments in China's top 100 hospitals found 58 instances across 48 hospitals and 27 related studies, with the first hospital deployment on Feb 10, 2025 and 37 hospitals deploying within a month. The review reports predominant private deployments used for clinical decision support, poor transparency—36% reported predeployment assessment, 22% reported results, 9% identified risks—and calls for expanded regulation and rigorous validation to protect patient safety.
Key Points
- 1Documented 58 DeepSeek deployments in 48 of China's top 100 hospitals.
- 2Highlights rapid, low-cost adoption enabling clinical decision support but limited external validation.
- 3Encourages hospitals to mandate predeployment evaluation and transparent reporting to mitigate safety risks.
Scoring Rationale
Peer-reviewed evidence and industry-wide findings drive the high score; limited direct technical novelty and China-focused scope constrain impact.
