ETRI ` intelligence digitalization` strategy

2030. Unlike the past, Mr. Kim, an office worker, did not have to spend time in the hospital all day for health checkups. Thanks to the `intelligent medical checkup system` recently introduced by the hospital. This system analyzes the whole data of the body of the examinee with artificial intelligence technology and automatically grasps the health status. Many sensors collect health-related data and then send it to a medical artificial intelligence system for accurate and rapid screening results. You do not have to take blood, too.

¡Þ IDX application in medical ... ICT-based digital intelligence (IDX), which is represented by personalization, intelligence, normalization, hyper-linking, super intelligence and hyper realism, is expected to bring significant breakthroughs and changes in the medical field. With IDX, healthcare services are expected to evolve with a focus on personalization, intelligence and digitalization.

For example, `micro medical sensor` which collects health related information is injected into the blood using a syringe. The sensor travels through the blood, identifying health-related information and delivering it to an external artificial intelligence system. It also has a therapeutic function, so if the blood vessel is clogged and it will clean the blood vessels directly and eliminate the cause of the cardiovascular disease. It is made of biocompatible material and harmless to the human body. After a certain period of time, it is decomposed spontaneously and discharged to the outside of the body.

Here, vast amounts of medical data and artificial intelligence technologies meet, enabling accurate and rapid diagnosis of diseases. Artificial intelligence analyzes big data such as individual`s genetic information, health history, advanced medical diagnostic device to help doctor`s diagnosis and treatment. Ultimately, artificial intelligence plays a role of `doctor` in diagnosing and managing individual`s physical condition and health information and suggesting appropriate treatment methods. In addition, an automated medical robot performs surgery according to the instructions of artificial intelligence It is anticipated that the era of 24-hour medical services will be opened.

¡Þ Standards and Data Utilization Laws and Regulations ❖ The need for `institutional improvement` As the aging population increases the cost of medical care and the public demand for better health and quality of life, Convergence `and is investing heavily in ICT-based healthcare technology development and market preoccupation. The healthcare ICT market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7% from USD 115.5 billion in 2015, to USD 162.2 billion in 2020.

With the development of mobile technology and changes in healthcare industry regulations, healthcare ICT is attracting attention as a future new industry. However, the situation of our country preparing it is not much. There is no standard that should be preceded to raise industry, and laws and system improvement that can utilize medical information such as medical data are not done.

In this situation, experts point out that to move quickly from traditional medical care to digital-based medical care, in order not to miss upcoming opportunities, it is necessary to hurry up with relevant laws and institutional arrangements. In order to utilize personal medical information data, it is emphasized that personal information protection law should be improved to suit the healthcare field and the era of personalized disease treatment should be opened. It is also necessary to establish a `connected health ecosystem` to ensure interoperability between different medical systems and to utilize personal medical information big data. Key technologies to realize this include 3D bio-printing, a medical device platform for on-site diagnosis, mobile health and remote medical technology, biosensors, medical big data analysis, and medical cloud computing. Dr. Kim Seung-hwan, director of the research team at ETRI Biotechnology, said, "Medical ICT technology must secure safety and reliability, and it must be developed in various regulations and systems such as clinical research. It takes a long time until commercialization. , And compatibility between medical systems should be improved so that an intelligent medical ecosystem can be created. "

Meanwhile, ETRI, commercialized `x-ray image based bone density measurement technology` distributed to 300 hospitals in Korea, `bio signal monitoring technology` used in student physical fitness examination system, `urine analyzer` sold in internet shopping malls, did. Currently, we are developing `bloodless blood glucose measurement technology` that measures blood sugar without blood collection, early diagnosis and prediction technology of cardiovascular disease using artificial intelligence, and mental health monitoring technology.
