This research addresses critical healthcare challenges by developing an advanced Chinese medical dialogue system that enhances online medical triage and consultation.

• Created Large-scale Chinese Medical Dialogue Corpora (LCMDC), overcoming the scarcity of comprehensive medical datasets
• Integrated specialized pre-trained language models optimized for medical conversations
• Developed novel dialogue models that improve medical triage accuracy and patient-doctor interactions
• Demonstrated how AI can help address healthcare system deficiencies highlighted during COVID-19

This work represents a significant advancement for medical AI in China, potentially reducing healthcare bottlenecks while improving patient access to quality care through technology.
