"Diagnosing Pediatric Rare Diseases in 15 Minutes Instead of 5 Years"

AI Primary Care Doctor 'Dr. Answer' Selected as an Exemplary Case of Proactive Administration
Ministry of Science and ICT "Currently in Export Negotiations with Saudi Arabia"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-su] □ The Ministry of Science and ICT announced on the 21st that 'Doctor Answer,' a native artificial intelligence (AI) primary care physician, was selected as an excellent case in the '2021 First Half Active Administration Best Practice Competition' jointly hosted by the Ministry of Personnel Management and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

This project was evaluated as contributing to the successful development of 21 AI precision medical software programs that support prediction, analysis, and diagnosis of eight major diseases, considering mortality rates, medical cost burdens, and public interest among Koreans through the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and healthcare.

During the clinical validation process at 38 domestic medical institutions, groundbreaking medical achievements such as 'improved diagnostic accuracy' and 'reduced diagnostic time' were confirmed. Notably, it succeeded in diagnosing rare pediatric diseases, which typically take an average of five years, within just 15 minutes, thereby contributing significantly to the treatment of young patients.

Clinical validation at hospitals under the Saudi Arabian Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs (MNG-HA) also confirmed diagnostic capabilities equivalent to those in Korea, and detailed negotiations for export are currently underway.
