Informining is a compound word that combines info of information and Mining of data mining, meaning that it will extract information and make something meaningful. Our company’s goal is to provide services to create a world for people with advanced technology. Now, it is starting in the medical field, but after the service for all patients is provided, it plans to expand into various fields.It is difficult to say that it is a company that provides medical services. It’s just a company that develops health monitoring solutions. Among the world’s top five diseases, the artificial intelligence healthcare Hattihati service has been developed to help heart disease patients detect abnormalities and maintain life through 24-hour electrocardiogram and blood pressure checks. Currently, technologies are being developed to help patients in areas other than diagnosis and prescription within regulations.Hattihathii’s major artificial intelligence (AI) services can be largely divided into three areas: calibration AI, electrocardiogram analysis AI, and personalized AI. Here, calibration AI is an AI developed to satisfy the limitation of a smart device as an H/W, and is an AI to increase the accuracy of the device’s measured value compared to a medical device. Second, ECG analysis AI is an AI that checks and diagnoses heart diseases, myocardial infarction, and arrhythmia found in hospitals, and it is an analysis AI that makes it possible to see the heart from 12 angles. Finally, personalized AI is an AI that sets the normal range standard for different biological signals for each person, which alarms risk figures and records them in case of simple abnormal signals. Some have been developed and some are almost finished or are in the verification stage. I took care of my father and mother for more than 10 years. In particular, in the case of my mother, I couldn’t go out alone at home because of blood pressure and heart problems. After my parents died, I felt that there were many problems with similar cases, so I developed an artificial intelligence for medical self-diagnosis, which was selected for a government support project and started a business.Actually, I originally wanted to be a doctor. Of course, the reason was greatly influenced by my parents, but I had to take care of them because of my father’s worsening condition. No one could make money, so in the early 20s, I did a similar job as an intern. However, my mother was fighting various cancers, and my sister also suffered a lot due to her weak constitution.

For a long time, I did not know what to do while caring for my parents, so I went to all offices in Seocho-dong or Guro-dong to tell them stories and circumstances and asked them to work. Consulting seemed to suit my aptitude, so while preparing to work, a warrant flew in and I had to go to the army. After being discharged from the military, I thought about my career path, took the SAT to go to the U.S., and luckily passed UCLA. However, there was a setback in the plan to go through state support, so I had no choice but to give up. When I entered college and was contemplating another career path, my mother’s illness worsened and I started fighting against the disease, and this time I started caring for my mother again. At this time, he could not enter the house for almost three years, lived in a hospital, and took care of the patient, and the surgery went well, but his mother eventually died due to a recurrence. One of the things that was really hard at this time was that there was no window for patients or guardians to know information at all. I had no means to manage my health at home. Since Korea is a medical powerhouse, the technology for treatment is really good, but the problem is that there is no way to know the information. At this time, I desperately felt that I should know my physical condition and be able to manage it on my own, and this was the opportunity to develop Hearty Hearty. The company’s establishment process has been examined, and the U.S., Australia, Japan, and China are currently making results in providing solutions and measuring data solutions in hospitals and healthcare fields, and it is being programmed and used as a monitoring solution for patients, wards, and doctors through the application of university hospitals in Korea. Based on this, investment and licensing contracts are being made in various countries to apply these performance solutions.

The company is currently showing medical innovation in the medical field with an artificial intelligence platform.If non-face-to-face treatment is the current trend in the medical community, this company seems to be the most suitable and efficient alternative. Therefore, they provided their solution to TELADOC Healthcare in the U.S. under a license and are working on customizing.In addition, they supply their own development devices to Sinchon Severance Hospital, a large Korean university hospital (Yonsei Medical Foundation), and manage the health of medical staff. We listened to the interview contents of the hospital official, that is, the experience and the status of the situation.

Hello, I’m Yoon Bin Jung, and I work as a hospitalist at the Department of Surgey at Yonsei University College of Medicine Severance Hospital. He is also a professional researcher at the Smart Hospital Business Group in the Institute for Innovation in Digital Healthcare (IIDH).

1. Infomining solution selection instrument

Working as a hospitalist who fully cares for inpatients, I became much closer to the patient than when I was a resident. Patients with no signs of abnormality are often found dead at dawn, and it was a great opportunity to feel the need for remote patient real-time monitoring, feeling very sorry for the sudden situation that occurs when medical staff or guardians are not looking at the patient in real time. In hospitals, nurses manually measure the patient’s vital signs at regular time intervals and determine the patient’s condition, which is very difficult to detect if the patient shows no abnormalities during the measurement interval.

Although not yet technically perfect or acceptable in academia, it was necessary to test the technology to enable real-time and continuous monitoring in the field, at least with trends in vital signs. Currently, there are various wearable devices on the market, but most devices are more like health care devices for the general public than patients in hospitals. Infomining’s solution targets all parameters (blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, oxygen saturation, etc.) that need to be measured in in inpatients, and above all, there were various signs of concern that the device’s development goal was to be used in hospitals rather than in general. The fact that it is a solution mainly targeted at inpatients, such as the ease of connection of the in-hospital network and the implementation of a dashboard that can be checked by the medical staff, helped them finally choose.

The biggest advantage of the infomining solution is that it implements a platform that wants to convert PPG signals measured in any type of smartwatch into vital signs through its own solution, regardless of device type. The technological improvement of smartwatches will continue in the future, and it is practically difficult to buy a large number of devices in hospitals every time. Because of the cost limitations, hospitals have to lag behind the latest technologies, and the implementation of a platform that allows patients to use various individual smartwatches after hospitalization is a huge advantage that is hard to expect from other solutions.

2. Actual use review

The convenience is very high because it is a cuffless method when you wear and use a real device for research. It is also a great advantage that it does not perform calibration periodically unlike other devices. Considering patient compliance, there should be less hassle, where Infomining’s device and solution implementation can give a high score. Another great advantage is that there is no significant difference due to correction according to exercise or height of the arm worn. However, due to the inevitable limitations of the form of wrist wear, the fact that the data is irregular depending on the strength of the wrist or the measured body temperature is affected by the external temperature will need to be overcome in the future. Compared to conventional smartwatches, similar size and comfort can reduce rejection when applied to patients, and batteries that last more than 7 days are a great advantage of reducing the hassle of medical staff in the field.

3. Items that need improvement

Since it is still in its early stages and replacing the patient’s vital signs measurement with a smartwatch is not yet a universally accepted stage, much research and verification is expected to be needed in the future. Until the existing practices that can completely replace the existing practices are gathered in the actual clinical field, the existing manual measurement method should be combined, and it seems that the hospital should pay attention to reducing unnecessary processes so that the medical staff do not reject it. The measurement accuracy of the instrument itself must be improved gradually, and the security associated with the stability of the network connection and patient information in the hospital must be more thoroughly managed. Once the measurements are stabilized, it is a problem for the medical staff to use the data properly, and if the vital signs, which were previously measured 3-4 times a day, are measured more than 1000 times a day, a huge amount of alarms can be sent to the medical staff, which can cause an issue of alarm fatigue. There seems to be a need for a balance between patient safety and the fatigue of the medical staff’s alarms.The actual application was delivered, and the U.S. FDA standard error range 5 is currently applied as an acceptable standard for medical devices, and the actual results of Infomining’s device effectiveness measurement showed a blood pressure relaxation error rate of 0.8 and a systolic period of 4.6. Compared to the U.S. medical device with a measurement error range of 5 without movement, the wearable watch is a great achievement as it is measured while moving with the Dongjang.In Korea, more than 60 large hospitals are already in contact for steady interest and in-hospital application.Healthcare also started health care with this device wearable watch for employees at 300 branches of KEPCO. This is a proven situation that shows the development technology of Infomining

JAPAN C.R.C. Co.,Ltd. is considered a very good idea as a medical MaaS project, such as renting a camping car to a local government or hospital to allow PCR tests or vaccinations, or using it as a space for long-term isolation of severely infected patients.

However, in the absence of doctors and nurses, I think it would be more efficient to check the changes in the biosignals of severely infected patients isolated in each Camping Car, namely, electrocardiogram, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, pulse, and body temperature remotely at the central control center in the hospital building.

And among the countless people lined up in front of the Camping Car, I think that if a person can check for changes in their bio-signals before they get a PCR test or get vaccinated, they can quickly move them to a separate space and take safer action.

To JAPAN C.R.C. Co.,Ltd., which shows the disadvantages of this medical MaaS business, the US Asia Journal introduced AI solutions of Infoming and GB Soft, Korean small and medium-sized enterprises. Accordingly, JAPAN C.R.C. Co.,Ltd. recognizes the technical value of Infoming and GB Soft and is discussing in-house about conducting business by incorporating it into their medical MaaS.

For reference, Infoming is a company that developed a system that analyzes bio-signals of electrocardiogram, blood pressure, blood sugar, oxygen saturation, pulse, and body temperature through a PC screen or smartphone through a camera lens such as CCTV.

In other words, JAPAN C.R.C. Co.,Ltd. felt that medical staff would be able to remotely check medical device-level bio-signals every second by simply filling the wrist of a severely infected patient with a Smart Watch. Also, they felt that CCTV cameras installed in the Camping Car would immediately identify only those who detected abnormalities in bio-signals among the countless people in a row with 95% or more accuracy within 1 to 10 seconds.

Despite planning such an ingenious medical MaaS business, it is necessary to pay attention to the attitude of Japanese companies to compensate for their shortcomings. In addition, I look forward to expanding business exchanges between Japanese and Korean companies.

(Source from Reuters/Alamy)Wellness is a combination of well-being, happiness, and fitness, and refers to an ideal condition in which physical, mental, and social health are harmonized.

This is a concept that emerged as the well-being trend has spread socially since the 2000s. In other words, well-being has been expanded to the concept of well-being as it aims for comprehensive health in all aspects such as mental and social health as well-being as well-being. Meanwhile, as Wellness rises, jobs have also emerged that manage customers’ weight, eating habits, and stress to maintain comprehensive health, and support them to achieve their health goals, which are called “wellness coaches.

(Source from Reuters/Alamy)”A word that combines well-being and fitness. It means a happy (well-being) and healthy (fitness) life.It is becoming a new industry that combines ICT (Information Communication Technology) and Bio Technology (BT). Products and services that cover remote treatment systems for the elderly or patients with mobility difficulties and strive to prevent diseases of healthy people have begun to appear in the market one after another. Is there any company that practices and utilizes company-centered as it is? GB Soft (coo: kibum-park) is a video-based solution using artificial intelligence. Beyond simple wellness, the project was started based on security and safety in the labor business group based on a more specific medical area. Large construction companies in Korea are concentrated in groups centered on apartment housing culture.

(Source from Reuters/Alamy)As a result, after the Pendemic crisis, GB Soft was recognized for its technology and solution, and is currently approaching about 1-2,000 large apartments as a self-developed video solution. In addition, solutions have already been supplied to duty-free shops that require close contact, and video-based solutions have also been applied to health care solutions to improve the working environment of industrial groups and workers. Korea’s largest telecommunication company (KT) and elderly welfare care services, including automobile production sites and fruit parts production sites, are also approached to health management as an artificial intelligence image analysis solution for the elderly in new city development areas. This approach is shown to be most efficient in wellness and health care. In the midst of this, medical care companies (hospitals and ward management companies), database companies, and IT companies have been showing interest and approaching large Japanese companies. In addition, life insurance companies are also approached as solutions and are signing licensing contracts. As you know, insurance companies want to provide services to various disease control and customers. As a result, the area of GB SOFT seems endless. It is leading to wellness + healthcare = medical care.

Healthcare Trend is changing from Medical to Healthcare. Trend is changing from supplier-centered to consumer-centered, from treatment-centered to prevention management-centered.

Recently, medical companies under hospitals, medical foundations, and general trading companies in Japan have also changed their overseas expansion, and I will introduce specific changes to those companies. (In particular, while telemedicine services are attracting attention due to the recent spread of COVID-19, the medical, digital, and mobility industries are working to develop healthcare mobility services that have upgraded existing telemedicine services to the next level.)

Japanese medical institutions support early stabilization of inpatients and return to society by promoting ‘smart hospital’ in cooperation with digital companies to strengthen predictability and accuracy. (Smart Hospital: It refers to a hospital operated by a fully automatic system that identifies and treats patients’ conditions using AI and IoT.) Since 2017, NEC, a large Japanese company, has been working with KNI Medical Group (Kitahara International Hospital Group) to develop a system to detect inpatients’ anxiety behavior or risk of misleading pneumonia. They analyzed electronic medical record information and vital data with AI and detected 71% accuracy about 40 minutes before inpatients’ insecurity behavior, enabling preemptive response by medical staff. As a result of KNI’s AI analysis, about 34% of elderly inpatients showed anxiety behavior, and in this case, discharge was extended by about 19 days compared to ordinary patients. In addition, they determined 87% accuracy of high-risk patients with misleading pneumonia, which frequently occurs in elderly or stroke inpatients, and nurses were able to focus on preventive management from the beginning of hospitalization. As a result of KNI’s analysis, misleading pneumonia occurs in about 10% of inpatients, and 70% of inpatients lead to long-term hospitalization for more than 1 month. In addition, they developed a system that analyzes nurse’s voice input data with AI, labels them based on nursing knowledge, and automatically classifies and stores them. As a result, 58% of the nursing record work (one hour per day per nurse) was reduced, and the effect of replacing the face-to-face handover work (30 minutes) was obtained. In addition, Japan’s Kitahara International Hospital focuses on treatment of chronic diseases centered on diabetes and rehabilitation, and has entered China to provide healthcare services. They offer low-sugar menus in hospital restaurants, along with healthy food ingredients, food, and healthcare products.

Japanese general trading companies, which focused on resource projects, are discovering and expanding healthcare businesses. In the past, bio-investment by large companies began in the 1980s, but technology limitations and markets were immature, and in the 1990s, starting with the detoxification of the human genome, they were activated as universities, research institutes, and ventures, but profits were low even after 10 years. In the 2000s, due to the breakthrough in biotechnology and the government’s deregulation of regenerated drugs, approval of drugs was also made easier. Japanese general trading companies have experienced the risks of resource businesses that rely on the market, and since then, they have found their main profitable businesses in bio-healthcare, a non-resource business.

Mitsubishi Corporation, a leading general trading company in Japan, directly participated in the operation of Tokyo Komagome Hospital until 2028 as a PFI business. Komagome Provincial Hospital (800 beds) is a hospital that had strengths in cancer and infectious diseases among Tokyo Provincial Hospitals, and Mitsubishi Corporation participated in the bidding for 186 billion yen, including a large remodeling of the hospital, securing the right to operate the hospital for 20 years from 2008. Japan promoted the PFI (Development of social capital by utilizing private funds) project for the purpose of improving the management of local hospitals, and in addition to design companies, construction companies, and IT companies, ASO groups operating large-scale hospitals in Fukuoka participated in the Komagome hospital project.

Mitsubishi Corporation has also entered the pharmaceutical manufacturing sector by taking advantage of the strengths of general trading companies in addition to hospitals and medical devices. Mitsubishi Corporation, along with Fuji Film, established FDBK and FDBT, biopharmaceutical joint ventures in the UK and the United States, respectively. Originally, Fuji Film acquired a biopharmaceutical CMO company from Merck in the U.S. in June 2011, and transferred shares to utilize Mitsubishi Corporation’s business experience in the bio sector. (Fuji Film makes up 80% of shares and Mitsubishi Corporation makes up 20% of shares.)

Meanwhile, Mitsubishi Corporation established the Bio Business Development Department in April 2000 when Bio Medical was selected as a new business area in its mid-term management plan. Currently, it is the healthcare department under the Life and Distribution Headquarters and is in charge of domestic and Asian businesses. (Headquarters for Living Distribution includes the Food Distribution Department, Paper and Packaging Department, Healthcare Department, and Asia Healthcare Business Development Office.)

A key subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation’s bio-health business is ‘MC Healthcare’, a business outsourcing and medical material distribution company of hospitals under the Ministry of Healthcare.

MC Healthcare is a company founded in April 2010 by integrating three companies : Hospital Service (established in 1995; supply of medical equipment), Apprecia (established in 2001, procurement and repair services of medical devices) and MC Medical (established in 1989; import and sale of medical devices). They achieved Japan’s largest sales of about 243 billion yen in 2017 by aggregating the functions of the three companies, including the JIT system of salespeople, to respond to the advanced demands of medical institutions. In April 2019, MC Healthcare consolidated its three food-related subsidiaries to seek further business diversification. (Three food-related subsidiaries: MC Food Specialties Inc. (Manufacture and export/import, sale of sweeteners, condiments, confectionery and baking ingredients), MC Foodtech Co., Ltd. (Manufacturing and selling glucose, fruit products, marine products, additives), KOHJIN Life Sciences Co., Ltd. (Manufacture and sale of yeast, food, feed, fertilizer, and medicines)

Mitsubishi Corporation established Good Life Design in 2002 in collaboration with TOYOTA Motors, and started Aichi-Ken’s local healthcare business. Good Life Design supports management improvement and mutual linkage of local medical institutions as an outsourcing project. In addition, it is a company that provides healthcare products and services to patients and local residents, and consists of 51% of TOYOTA Motors and 49% of Mitsubishi Corporation. Medical services for patients are handled by local base hospitals, and Good Life Design provides testing agencies, IT work support, joint purchase of medicines for local hospitals and pharmacies, and nursing facilities for discharged patients, rental and sales of care products, and renovation of homes for the elderly.

The Japanese pharmaceutical industry is pushing for the development of digital treatments, breaking away from the simple business model of selling drugs to medical institutions. (Digital Therapy: Advanced software medical devices that provide therapeutic intervention to patients to prevent, manage, and treat diseases or disorders. Mobile applications, games, virtual reality, chatbots, artificial intelligence, etc.) Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. has developed a digital pill for the treatment of schizophrenia/bipolar disorder, and it has a built-in special sensor that responds to stomach acid, allowing users to identify medication information and dosage patterns through wearable devices and mobile apps. Eisai Co., Ltd. is developing a preventive medical app by analyzing data accumulated as dementia treatment drugs with AI. SHIONOGI & CO., LTD. is developing a video game for treating childhood ADHD (AKL-T01) and a video game for treating autism spectrum disorder (AKL-T02). Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited is developing medical devices to treat digestive problems.

Japanese startups are leading the way, developing telemedicine systems and providing mobile-based services to improve user convenience. Japan’s Nipro began selling “NIPRO Heart Line” in 2018, and remote doctors diagnose mild COVID-19 infections in self-isolation, and hospitals (which can monitor body temperature and blood oxygen concentration data) provide online prescriptions to pharmacies. Japan’s Medley operates an app that enables Second Opinion consultation with 18 medical professionals at Tokyo University Hospital through the “CLINICS” online platform, and is affiliated with about 800 medical institutions nationwide.

Focusing on large Japanese companies, it is promoting ‘healthcare mobility service’ that combines telemedicine and next-generation mobility service (MaaS). (MaaS (Mobility as a Service): A service that combines the operation information of various means of transportation, such as railways, buses, and taxis, and suggests an optimal route for users.) Toyota Motor Corporation and SoftBank Group Corp. established MONET Technologies in February 2019 to provide various mobility-linked services such as logistics, medical care, and finance in cooperation with companies and local governments to promote the MaaS business. Philips Japan is working with MONET Technologies to promote “delivery of healthcare” through a “mobile clinic” service that has upgraded telemedicine services to the next level. (Philips Japan is a healthcare total solution company that sells products and services for each process of healthcare such as prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and home care for a healthy life.) In December 2019, Philips Japan tested the commercial Van (9seats) called HiAce of TOYOTA in Nagano-Ken, Ina-City, equipped with a monitor capable of remote diagnosis, a vital data meter such as blood pressure, body temperature, weight, and blood sugar, and an automatic heart shock device (AED). The “mobile clinic” provides remote and face-to-face treatment services regardless of physical location by moving mobility to where patients want it. It is a system in which a nurse visits a patient with a healthcare facility, a doctor in a hospital treats the patient through a video call, and then the nurse examines and prescribes the patient under the doctor’s direction. This is what the ‘mobile clinic’ provides by synthesizing the three concepts of ‘remote treatment + home treatment + mobility’.

Large companies and startups are all speeding up the development of AI image diagnosis technology to respond to healthcare services. NTT Data demonstrated an AI image diagnosis system developed by the University of Miyazaki in 700 patients, and measured the accuracy of detecting gastrointestinal abnormalities, showing 90% accuracy in cancer diagnosis. In October 2019, it began developing an algorithm that identifies the disease name from abnormalities found by the AI image diagnosis system, and in 2020, it verified to what extent the system could reduce the burden on doctors in actual diagnostic tasks. Hitachi’s U.S. subsidiary Hitachi Consulting has signed a partnership contract with the British medical group Northern Care Alliance to realize Digital Transformation. By introducing data analysis and IoT technology for Salford Royal Hospital under Hitachi, it is seeking countermeasures to flexibly deploy beds, operating rooms, and medical devices to patients and reduce waiting time. There are also many R&D startups such as lpixel in the field of image diagnosis, and lpixel, a venture company at the University of Tokyo, developed an image diagnosis support procedure using artificial intelligence and recently unveiled a cloud-type image analysis platform called ‘IMACEL’.

Fitness Center provides healthcare services such as health data measurement and health counseling due to high customer accessibility. RIZAP Group (the No. 1 company in sales at Japan’s Fitness Center) was originally centered on diet and beauty businesses, but recently, in partnership with 183 medical institutions nationwide, doctors have started health care services (rehab and dementia prevention, depression treatment, etc.) RENAISSANCE (the fourth-largest company in Japan’s Fitness Center sales) is promoting a healthcare project for senior citizens aged 60 or older to prevent cognitive decline such as exercise guidance, meal and sleep support. In addition, Renaissance established a joint venture in Vietnam and a subsidiary operating the fitness center and swimming school. In cooperation with their own design know-how and Japanese construction companies, they reorganize the swimming pool and open a Japanese-style swimming class to conduct swimming method training and water quality management consulting projects. In addition, it sought to enter Vietnam through a step-by-step approach such as sports center construction and operation of sports centers. Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, Japanese companies’ healthcare services had melted into Vietnam, with more than 1,000 visitors a day despite the same high price as Japan. The Japanese food industry is releasing healthy foods such as sugar-restricted foods and menus, and selling various types of health supplements. (Sugar-restricted diet is a diet that consumes less sugar and lowers blood sugar with a diet focused on fat and protein. It has a weight-loss effect and consequently inhibits the possibility of diabetes.) Convenience store company FamilyMart has launched low-sugar foods in cooperation with sports center group RIZAP, and LAWSON has introduced low-sugar confectionery, lunch boxes, and noodles. Originally started as a medical device manufacturer that made Japan’s first scale and the world’s first body fat scale, TANITA expanded its business to the restaurant industry as a health food restaurant that provides healthcare services. TANITA expanded from the concept of measuring weight and body fat to the concept of measuring health, and it became famous throughout Japan when it provided healthy menus to employee restaurants with the aim of taking care of employees’ health first. Since then, it has published a recipe book and opened the restaurant “Marunouchi Tanita Shokudo” for the general public. It conducted free health counseling and events based on restaurants expanded nationwide, and developed a lifestyle coaching app to prevent diseases.

As such, Japanese companies are promoting links between different industries with the goal of realizing innovations that strengthen ‘convenience’, ‘accuracy’, and ‘accessibility’ of healthcare. Not only Japanese domestic companies, but also companies from neighboring Asian countries and companies from all over the world are expected to be linked in more detail to these Japanese innovations, namely, these TRENDs.

Infomining in South Korea has currently registered five domestic patents related to medical AI, including single measurement systems, emergency monitoring, hospital control systems, smart quarantine systems, and information provision technologies and systems for disease diagnosis and medical institutions. Two solutions, including natural language processing using artificial intelligence and an electrocardiogram measurement system, have been recently applied for domestic patients.

Natural language processing technology enables natural conversations for patients’ self-diagnosis through AI. For example, if a patient asks, “I coughed a lot. Why do I cough?” and the AI illogically replies back, “Did you cough?”, we should conclude that the solution is useless. At least, the fully-fledged AI has to chat to ask you questions like “Do you have pain in your stomach, too?”, “Which part of your lower or upper stomach hurts?” or so on. The accuracy of natural language processing AI developed by Infomining is 90%. In other words, 9 out of 10 answers are appropriate for the situation. This is far above the accuracy of the widely known GPT or BERT-based natural language processing AI model (50-72%).

Recently, Infomining’s AI electrocardiogram measurement system has surpassed the level of Google and IBM. The disease was predicted with about 84% accuracy in the F1 score, a medical indicator related to ECG. Google and IBM had this value of 83%. This technology was selected as the best prize in the “Echocardiogram/Echocardiogram AI Model Dataton 2021″ on the 15th. Currently, it is preparing related papers to submit them to the world’s most prestigious AI conference, NeurIPS (Nips).

Smart Healthcare (Digital Healthcare) is an industrial field that deals with information, devices, systems, and platforms on personal health and medical care, and is a comprehensive medical service that combines health-related services with medical ICT (Information and Communication Technology). It is growing rapidly around the world, and is emerging as the most influential convergence field in the era of the 4th industrial revolution.

According to a report released by the Information and Communication Industry Promotion Agency, the global artificial intelligence healthcare market is expected to reach $754.7 million (about 847.5 billion won) in 2020 from $1.79 billion won in 2015 to 25.6 billion won in 2020.

As artificial intelligence technology is expected to create innovative value in the healthcare industry, global companies are competitively investing in the field of artificial intelligence healthcare, and Korea is considered competitive in the global smart healthcare market as it has the world’s best ICT technology.

CEO Lee said, “We have implemented the performance of global AI or exceeded that level in a certain area. Based on this, we have developed integrated medical solutions and are upgrading technology.”

Kyobo Life Insurance announced on Jan 5th that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with MyData-based startups to expand financial MyData services.

Kyobo Life Insurance plans to expand its MyData service area with this MOU and accelerate the launch of its upcoming official service. Kyobo Life Insurance aims to launch an official service within this month after obtaining the MyData business license from the Financial Services Commission for the first time in the insurance industry in July last year.

According to Kyobo Life Insurance, the two companies that signed the MOU this time are “Infomining” and “Enable Daon Soft,” promising startups that are recognized for their innovation in different areas.

Infomining is a company specialized in smart healthcare services. It is a startup that has proven its excellence through certification as a technology-specific venture company and winning the AI (Artificial Intelligence) Championship. Kyobo Life Insurance plans to jointly discover and commercialize ideas so that it can motivate customers to promote health and provide customized health solutions through information mining and health data utilization and analysis.

“Enable Daon Soft” is a startup that is developing and operating a military service called “The Camp.” Through this business partnership, Kyobo Life Insurance will promote the development of financial education contents for military soldiers and the development of customized financial products for soldiers.

The company, which won the grand prize in the public sector of the Korea Mobile Awards, provides military enlistment information and community functions for military families through applications. The cumulative number of subscribers is 3.6 million and the number of monthly users (MAU) is 700,000.

Kyobo Life Insurance’s goal is to help people live a healthy and proper financial life. Kyobo Life Insurance said officially, “We plan to create and provide MyData services that revive Kyobo Life’s identity so that customers can understand and take the lead in financial life.

It specializes in AI solutions that patients plan in advance or medical staff use to improve work efficiency. It has developed ‘Hearty Hearty’, a solution with world-class performance in natural language processing and bio-signal analysis. We are currently conducting clinical trials in collaboration with various hospitals and institutions.”
