The Catholic University of Korea Seoul St. Mary's Hospital said on the 2nd that it will lead the operation of Doctor Answer 3.0. Doctor Answer 3.0 is a national strategic project for artificial intelligence (AI) healthcare. The plan is for AI not only to assist clinicians in diagnosing and treating diseases, but also to help manage patients' prognoses.
Seoul St. Mary's Hospital took on detailed tasks in four areas: breast cancer, kidney cancer, heart disease, and skin disease. It plans to develop services that connect the hospital and home to support patients. For breast cancer and kidney cancer patients, after surgery it will predict the likelihood of lymphedema and renal failure, respectively. For heart disease patients, after discharge, AI at home will detect early signs of cardiac arrest. For patients with severe atopic dermatitis, it will establish a management system to cope with symptom exacerbation.
Seoul St. Mary's Hospital recently held a launch ceremony for Doctor Answer 3.0. Kim Dae-jin, professor of psychiatry at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital and head of the Doctor Answer 3.0 project group, said, "We will use AI to reduce healthcare disparities so that everyone can enjoy basic medical rights."
