Domestic university hospitals are aiming for medical IT as a new food business.
According to the medical community on the 22nd, Hanyang University Medical Center and Chonbuk National University Hospital signed an agreement for medical artificial intelligence and medical big data R&D projects.
Hanyang University Medical Center recently signed a business agreement with DOUB, a company specializing in real-time text artificial intelligence, to promote a 'medical AI joint project'.
Hanyang University Medical Center has been seeking ways to apply various methods to the field while promoting the development of the next-generation medical information system, and this MOU was made as a way to seek new business entry in the medical field using artificial intelligence technology.
Previously, both sides have been seeking ways to combine AI-based speech recognition (Speech to Text) and text analysis technology with medical care in various fields, and have accumulated a lot of know-how and technology through prior research.
In particular, DOUB, a partner operator, has advanced technology and various references in the artificial intelligence text analysis, voice recognition, and RPA markets, so this agreement is expected to create many synergies.
Chonbuk National University Hospital recently held a large-scale MOU signing ceremony for the 'Health Big Data Research Free Zone' related to the Medical Big Data Common Data Model (CDM) with the participation of 6 medical institutions at the Gonjiam Resort in Gyeonggi Province.
This MOU is for the establishment and mutual cooperation of a 'CDM (Common Data Model) Research Border-Free Zone (RFZ)' between the contracting institutions. The participating institutions include Chonbuk National University Hospital, Ajou University Hospital, Wonkwang University Hospital, and distributed There are six institutions, including the Hyung Bio-Health Big Data Project Group, Kangwon National University Hospital, and Sejong Hospital and Mediplex Sejong Hospital.
With this agreement, researchers at the contracting institution will be able to use the common data model research network of the contracting institution as well as the institution to which they belong.
The six organizations participating in the agreement completed pseudonymization and standardization of data in the process of converting the electronic medical record data of each organization into 'OMOP-CDM', an industry-type international standard prior to the agreement.
However, even if the data has been pseudonymized for the protection of personal information, the affiliated researcher cannot directly view individual data, and only the statistical results analyzed indirectly through the platform can be read.
Park Tae-seon, head of the Big Data Center at Chonbuk National University Hospital, said, "With this agreement, we can easily and quickly identify the effects and side effects of drugs or treatments while thoroughly protecting personal information." "Through multi-center distributed research using a common data model, It is expected to play a pivotal role in contributing to the development of the pharmaceutical business.”
Seoul National University Bundang Hospital recently signed a business agreement with the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (President Choi Hee-yoon; hereafter referred to as 'KISTI') in relation to quantum cryptography and homomorphic cryptography research for remote processing of medical information.
The two organizations agreed to utilize KISTI's national supercomputer and the National Science and Technology Research Network (KREONET) for medical big data research and artificial intelligence model development at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital.
According to this agreement, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital will apply homomorphic encryption technology to medical information and use the national supercomputer to study big data and artificial intelligence models without leaking sensitive information. Through the national science and technology research network, an organic cooperative system has been established to provide a transmission network that cannot be wiretap.
The two institutions are also planning to conduct related joint research and joint utilization of the infrastructure owned by each institution.
Quantum cryptography is an encryption system built using quantum mechanical principles for secure communication, and quantum key distribution technology is a representative example.
Homomorphic encryption refers to the 4th generation encryption system in which the result of the operation in the encrypted state is the same as the operation result in the unencrypted state.
“Medical big data is an important national resource, but we need to be aware of the risk of privacy leakage inherent in big data,” said President Baek Rong-min. “Through this business agreement, we will secure source technology that can use big data smoothly while protecting personal information. It will be possible to utilize the national supercomputing infrastructure necessary for high-speed computation of medical big data.”
