Germany's Saxony state is exploring South Korea's approach to aging demographics and healthcare shortages through digitalization and technology. Saxony Health Minister Petra Köpping led a delegation to Seoul on Sunday for a four-day visit to study potential solutions for the eastern German state. With an increasing proportion of people aged over 65, along with widespread staff shortages, Saxony faces similar demographic pressures to South Korea.
The delegation will examine technologies such as digital hospitals, robotics, and medical informatics at various facilities, including Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital and the Samsung Medical Center. These hospitals utilize smart hospital models featuring paperless processes, automated logistics, and robotic assistance to reduce staff workloads.
During her visit, Köpping aims to identify transferable approaches to Saxony's healthcare system, including holding discussions with industry groups and institutions to explore potential collaborations and future projects.
