Chonbuk National University Hospital opens superintelligence respiratory artificial intelligence center… AI treatment development

(Jeonju = Yonhap News) Reporter Jeong Kyeong-jae = Chonbuk National University Hospital announced on the 3rd that it opened and began operating the 'Superintelligence Respiratory Artificial Intelligence Center', a facility that develops artificial intelligence (AI) technology and treatments using clinical data of respiratory patients.

This facility, located on the second floor of the Respiratory Center at Chonbuk National University Hospital, was created with support from Jeonbuk Province and Chonbuk National University along with the Ministry of Health and Welfare's selection as a 'medical AI-based treatment support project'.

The center uses clinical data linked to more than 100,000 respiratory-specific chest computed tomography (CT) scans held by Chonbuk National University Hospital for AI learning and medical technology development.

Through this, we will pursue ▲ establishment of an AI model for respiratory disease prediction and analysis ▲ discovery of inhalable treatment candidates ▲ development of patient-tailored treatments ▲ clinical validation, etc.

Chonbuk National University Hospital expected that by operating the center, it would be able to secure various medical data as well as assist in the research and commercialization of domestic AI companies undergoing clinical verification.

Yang Jong-cheol, director of Chonbuk National University Hospital, said, "This center is a key base for future medical care that connects clinical data, treatment and research capabilities with AI technology," and added, "We will lead the development of AI medical technology and customized treatments to ensure that results return to local residents."
