DeepSeek is an AI platform based on deep learning and natural language processing, featuring core products DeepSeek-R1 and DeepSeek-V3 models. Using efficient Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture and multimodal data fusion capabilities, it achieves performance comparable to OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini while significantly reducing training costs .

In healthcare applications, DeepSeek rapidly extracts valuable information from massive datasets, providing intelligent information retrieval and analysis solutions  that:

- Assist physicians with diagnosis and treatment - Optimize doctor-patient communication - Improve medical efficiency - Supplement professional knowledge - Provide humanized medical interactions - Identify potential blind spots 

DeepSeek enhances clinical decision-making efficiency, supports scientific research, optimizes patient management  and assists patients with medical decision-making .

However, the platform faces challenges including data quality issues, algorithm stability and accuracy concerns, multimodal data fusion problems, lack of automated information collection, and dynamic update delays .

Future developments may bring breakthroughs in personalized medicine, telemedicine, and public health management .

A 25% reduction in motorised traffic in the city of Barcelona would have significant health benefits. A study carried out by ISGlobal estimates this improvement in air quality would prevent almost 200 premature deaths per year.

Plastic is everywhere in our daily lives. And much of what we use, such as cutting boards, clothes and cleaning sponges, can expose us to tiny, micrometer-wide plastic particles called microplastics. Now, chewing gum could be added to the list. In a pilot study, researchers found that chewing gum can release hundreds to thousands of microplastics per piece into saliva and potentially be ingested. The researchers will present their results at ACS Spring 2025.
