[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Moon Seok-jin) was recently selected as the recipient local government in the government’s ‘AI-Based Emergency Medical System Development Project’ pilot region competition.

This system is an intelligent emergency medical information system utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G technology, designed to shorten the time from the occurrence of an emergency patient to the transport by ambulance and hospital emergency room, securing golden time for each segment, and providing customized diagnosis and treatment services according to the patient’s condition, disease, and severity.

The government has been conducting this project over three years since 2019, investing 18 billion KRW to date.

This system is expected to undergo a demonstration phase this year, achieve system advancement, and be disseminated nationwide.

Seodaemun-gu was selected as one of the two pilot regions, along with Goyang-si in Gyeonggi-do, to operate this system on a trial basis.

For the application, Seodaemun-gu formed a consortium as the representative institution. Along with Seodaemun-gu, the consortium includes the three northwestern districts of Seoul: Mapo-gu and Eunpyeong-gu, as well as Yonsei University Severance Hospital, Dongshin Hospital, Eunpyeong Cheonggu Seongsim Hospital, and the fire stations of Seodaemun, Mapo, and Eunpyeong.

The ‘AI-Based Emergency Medical System’ is expected to greatly contribute to increasing the survival rate of critically ill emergency patients by strengthening the connection between 119 ambulance sites and emergency medical institutions and establishing an AI-based public transport system.

Moon Seok-jin, Mayor of Seodaemun-gu, said, “I hope that the pilot region demonstration will lead to the advancement of the system, improving the quality and reliability of emergency medical services.”
