KT is partnering with Seoul National University Hospital to develop a medical AX (AI transformation) platform that integrates artificial intelligence across all areas of healthcare, including diagnosis, nursing, research, and operations.
KT announced on the 17th that it signed a memorandum of understanding with Seoul National University Hospital at the KT Gwanghwamun West Building in Jongno-gu, Seoul, to establish a medical AX platform. The signing ceremony was attended by Kim Bong-gyun, Head of KT Enterprise Division, and Baek Nam-jong, President of Seoul National University Hospital, among others.
The two companies will collaborate to identify standard models for an AX platform that can be applied in clinical settings by combining KT's AI, cloud, and data technologies with Seoul National University Hospital's clinical and research capabilities. Based on this foundation, they plan to cooperate in validating, advancing, and commercializing government-led initiatives such as the "AI Native Hospital."
Specifically, both parties will jointly pursue: (1) identification and application of standard models for a medical AX platform; (2) validation, advancement, and commercialization of government policy projects like the "AI Native Hospital"; (3) AI-based support for clinical decision-making and operational efficiency improvements; and (4) expansion of the healthcare market.
KT will participate in all stages of the medical AX platform, from planning to development, verification, and commercialization, integrating AI, cloud, and data technologies. Seoul National University Hospital will identify practical platform application needs based on its expertise in clinical and research settings, while also providing medical advisory services and conducting validity assessments.
In particular, both companies will collaborate on the construction of the "Group Integrated DX (Digital Transformation) Platform" currently being developed by Seoul National University Hospital. The plan involves integrating KT's AX platform and infrastructure capabilities with the hospital's clinical and AI research systems to build a medical AX ecosystem that spans from research and development to validation and commercialization.
KT aims to strengthen its medical AX business through this collaboration and expand platform-based partnerships with institutional investors in the healthcare sector. Another goal is to broaden the application scope of AI innovation models validated at Seoul National University Hospital into the public healthcare domain.
Baek Nam-jong, President of Seoul National University Hospital, stated, "Through this collaboration, we aim to set a standard for platform cooperation with institutional investors in the medical field and identify and disseminate effective AI innovation models that can be applied across the entire public healthcare sector."
Kim Bong-gyun, Executive Vice President and Head of KT Enterprise Division, said, "KT is supporting AX transformations across various industries using its proven AX platform technologies and know-how. Starting with our collaboration with Seoul National University Hospital, we will develop AI-based innovation models for the public healthcare market as well."
