The power to connect scattered medical data... Medical AI, 'the key to opening the future' [Han-gyoreh]
The 2026 medical paradigm will shift from AI guided by humans to autonomous AI that plans and acts on its own, according to Ashkan Afkami, Managing Director and Senior Partner at Boston Consulting Group. However, for AI to function effectively in healthcare, high-quality data is essential. In South Korea, despite having vast amounts of medical data, it is fragmented across institutions and lacks standardization, making it challenging for AI to learn and provide accurate results.
To address this issue, the Korean government and the Korea Health Information Service (KHIS) are working together to establish a national integrated bio-big data platform, a digital medical information exchange system, and standardize medical data. The KHIS will host a symposium on September 10-11, 2023, in Seoul, to discuss the future of healthcare AI and digital transformation.
The event will cover topics such as building a bio-big data platform, connecting medical information, and ensuring interoperability and public trust.
