KT is collaborating with Seoul National University Hospital to establish an artificial intelligence transformation (AX) platform that encompasses all areas of healthcare, including treatment, nursing, research, and operations.
On August 17, KT announced that it had signed a memorandum of understanding with Seoul National University Hospital at the KT Gwanghwamun West Building in Seoul.
This partnership aims to combine KT's medical AX strategy with the clinical expertise and research capabilities of the country's largest public medical institution. The two organizations will work on joint projects that include discovering and applying standard models for the medical AX platform, demonstrating and commercializing government policy projects such as AI-native hospitals, supporting clinical decision-making with AI, and expanding the healthcare market.
The roles of each organization have been clearly defined. KT will collaborate throughout the entire process of planning, developing, validating, and commercializing the integrated medical AX platform that combines AI, cloud, and data. Seoul National University Hospital will leverage its expertise in clinical practice and research to identify applicable projects for the platform and provide medical consultation and efficacy evaluation.
Seoul National University Hospital has established a system that organically links clinical and AI research. The integration of KT's AX platform and infrastructure capabilities is expected to support the hospital's initiative to build a 'group integrated DX platform' and contribute to the creation of a medical AX ecosystem that connects research, development, demonstration, and commercialization.
Through this collaboration, KT plans to enhance its capabilities in the medical AX business and continue to expand platform-based cooperation with medical institutions. The goal is to discover and disseminate AI innovation models applicable to the public healthcare sector.
Kim Bong-kyun, head of KT's Enterprise Division, stated, "KT is assisting various industries with proven AX platform technology and know-how. Starting with our collaboration with Seoul National University Hospital, we aim to create AI-based innovation models for the public healthcare market."
