Kazakhstan has launched testing of the “AI Therapist” system — an innovative digital solution designed to support doctors and improve access to healthcare. The pilot project is underway in several medical institutions in the Akmola region.
The system operates in real time, analyzing conversations between doctors and patients to generate preliminary diagnoses. With an accuracy rate of up to 80%, the Ministry of Health estimates it can significantly speed up consultations.
According to Health Minister Akmaral Alnazarova, the technology can reduce up to 40% of the time doctors spend on documentation — a critical improvement amid high workloads and staff shortages.
The development is part of a broader digital agenda aimed at enhancing healthcare worker safety, expanding telemedicine, and ensuring remote access to services in rural areas.
Special attention is given to regions with limited medical infrastructure. In addition to the AI Therapist, a new telemedicine app will enable remote monitoring and timely consultations without requiring in-person clinic visits.
To improve healthcare worker safety, smart video badges are also being introduced. These devices are already in use by five ambulance teams in the capital and will soon be deployed in Almaty.
Video badges record emergency calls and provide instant communication with police control centers — crucial during threats or emergencies.
Kazakhtelecom Chairman Bagdat Musin noted the company’s readiness to offer integrated safety systems, including surveillance, panic buttons, and traffic analytics.
All these initiatives are part of a large-scale healthcare digitalization plan, which, according to the minister, aims to create “the safest and most efficient working conditions” for medical staff.
President of Kazakhstan’s Association of Reproductive Medicine, Vyacheslav Lokshin, praised the integration of AI in healthcare, noting its use in embryology and its proven effectiveness worldwide.
He emphasized that while AI can analyze data faster and more accurately, it must not be given full responsibility for diagnoses. Final decisions must always be made by a doctor.
