Seoul Medical Center has officially declared its vision to lead in public healthcare through the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in various clinical and patient service areas. During a ceremony held on the 25th with key executives and personnel present, the center outlined plans to apply AI technology to improve diagnostic accuracy, patient monitoring, and overall convenience for patients. This initiative aims to enhance the quality of care while reinforcing patient safety and reliability.

The proposed AI applications include precise techniques for diagnostic procedures, such as fundus image analysis and AI-assisted chest X-ray interpretation, which are already being piloted at the center. The fundus analysis software predicts risks related to heart attacks and strokes by analyzing the condition of eye blood vessels, while the chest X-ray AI system identifies potential lung diseases. The integration of these technologies is intended not only to improve the efficiency of healthcare delivery but also to enhance operational conditions and reduce workforce demands amidst the rising number of patients.

Moreover, Seoul Medical Center plans to share its experiences with other public healthcare institutions that often struggle with implementing and investing in new systems. By accelerating the adoption of AI-based medical services, the center aims to improve the quality of public healthcare and foster greater health outcomes for vulnerable populations. This ambitious strategy positions the medical center at the forefront of AI advancement in public health, reinforcing its role in promoting citizens' health and well-being.
