Eulji Medical Center to Hold 70th Anniversary AI Symposium

Eulji University Medical Center said on the 27th that it will hold an anniversary medical symposium on the 30th at the Sapphire Ballroom of Lotte Hotel in central Seoul. Under the theme “Future Medicine with AI,” experts from Korea and abroad in healthcare, science and technology, policy and industry will discuss changes driven by AI, data and digital technology in medicine, and the direction of future healthcare.

The event will include keynote speeches, three sessions and a lunch session. Seo Jun-beom, a professor at Asan Medical Center, will speak about how advances in artificial intelligence have changed medicine over the past 10 years. Jung Jae-seung, a professor at KAIST, will address the future of AI, people, society and medicine, as well as changes in the medical paradigm.

Session 1 will focus on healthcare data and AI policy. Park Jeong-hwan, director of the Medical AI and Data Policy Division at the Ministry of Health and Welfare, will present AI-based healthcare strategies and future challenges. Lee Dae-yeon, head of the Biobank Division at the Korea National Institute of Health, will discuss the present and future of CODA, a platform for collecting and sharing healthcare research data. Kim Hyun-chang, a professor of preventive medicine at Yonsei University, will present the vision for a digital health research institute and a data-based AI healthcare strategy.

Session 2 will cover AI applications in clinical settings. Son Hyun-woo, a professor at Uijeongbu Eulji Medical Center, will speak about an AI-based rapid response system and early detection of critically ill patients. Park Sung-ho, a professor at Asan Medical Center, will present AI’s role in radiology. Jung Yosep, a professor at Uijeongbu Eulji Medical Center, is scheduled to discuss next-generation AI pathology diagnosis integrating digital pathology from multiple medical institutions.

Session 3 will examine the integration and evolution of AI- and robotics-based medical systems. Na Gun-ho, head of Naver’s Healthcare Research Institute, will discuss the present and future of robotic surgery and the era of physical AI. Kim Ji-woong, a researcher at Stanford University, will address the development of medical robots. Cha Won-cheol, a professor at Samsung Medical Center, will speak on “Dx to Ax: Samsung Medical Center’s Journey,” while Kang Min-su, a professor at Eulji University, will present on using AI in patient care systems. Topics will also include humanoid robots and AI-based medical systems.

The lunch session will consider medical AI applications from hospitals to homes. Lee Jun-hyuk, a professor at Nowon Eulji Medical Center, will chair the session. Joo Sung-hoon, VUNO’s chief technology officer, will present practical applications and future directions for medical AI, followed by a question-and-answer session. Eulji Foundation Chairman Park Jun-young is expected to say in his congratulatory remarks that the foundation aims to strengthen its competitiveness in future medicine through its healthcare and education capabilities while upholding its values of “love for humanity and respect for life.” A medical center representative said they hope the event will provide an opportunity to share experts’ experience and knowledge and explore new medical possibilities.
