According to reports, Baidu Health has recently launched the internal testing of a professional AI smart assistant for doctors. The product, internally known as "DoctorClaw" (the Lobster Doctor version), marks a critical stage in Baidu's application of large models in the medical vertical field.

According to insiders, the project is currently in the closed development phase and has entered the internal testing period. Although the exact product form has not been fully disclosed, it is approaching the launch. In terms of functional settings, DoctorClaw will focus on academic literature retrieval and daily office assistance in the short term, while its long-term strategic goal is to deeply penetrate all scenarios such as clinical diagnosis, medical research, and teaching management, creating a safe and controllable digital medical expert assistant.

This internal test comes at a time when the "Lobster" concept is rapidly gaining popularity in the AI circle. Recently, various AI applications including OpenClaw and different "raising lobsters" assistants have emerged, sparking discussions on issues ranging from computing power consumption to industry standards. In this context, Baidu Health entering the professional field for doctors is not only a complement to existing medical digital tools but also an attempt to solve clinical efficiency bottlenecks through professional AI capabilities.

With the current trend of medical large models shifting from "general" to "specialized," the internal testing of DoctorClaw indicates that the industry competition is moving from the C-end consultation to the more specialized B-end practice assistance. If this product can successfully overcome challenges related to the security of medical data and the accuracy of decision-making, it has the potential to reshape the workflow of digital medicine.
