The Direction of Technology Development for Humans in the COVID Era... Online Forum on the 5th

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, together with the Korea Publication Culture Industry Promotion Agency, will hold the first session of the "Human and Technology Forum" on the 5th at 2 PM under the theme "Humans and Technology in the Era of COVID-19."

The Human and Technology Forum was planned to spread awareness in society and seek humanistic solutions based on the recognition that although technological advancements greatly impact everything from our daily lives to human existence and ways of living, discussions on humans and technology remain insufficient.

In the first discussion session, the current status of science and technology related to infectious diseases such as vaccines and digital healthcare, as well as social and cultural issues, will be reflected upon from a humanistic perspective.

The forum will be moderated by Professor Yoo Sang-ho of the Department of Medical Humanities at Hanyang University College of Medicine. In the first part, Professor Kim Chang-yeop of Seoul National University Graduate School of Public Health will present on "The History of Vaccines and the Publicness of Healthcare." Following this, Park Yoon-jae, head of the HK+ Integrated Medical Humanities Research Group at Kyung Hee University, and Kim Tae-yeol, head of the Consumer Economy Department and medical specialist reporter at Herald Economy, will share their views on "Fair Distribution of Vaccines from a Human-Centered Approach."

In the second part, Lee Wang-jun, director of Myongji Hospital, will present on "The Present and Future of Telemedicine." Lawyer Park Jae-yong (psychiatrist) and medical humanities scholar Kim Jun-hyuk (dentist) will continue the discussion on "The Realization and Suitability of Digital Medical Technology."

This forum will be broadcast live online via the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's Facebook page and the Publication Promotion Agency's Inmun360 YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/360inmun) to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
