Gosin University Hospital Sets Sail for Building Eco Delta City Smart Hospital

Gosin University EDC Project Promotion Team Inauguration Ceremony

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Kosin University Gospel Hospital is set to accelerate its smart hospital construction project within Eco Delta City.

Kosin University Hospital announced on the 19th that it formed the 'Kosin Eco Delta City (EDC) Project Promotion Team' on the 16th and will actively proceed with building a smart hospital in Eco Delta City.

Marking its 70th anniversary, Kosin University Gospel Hospital plans to promote a health cluster project through its entry into Eco Delta City.

The hospital aims to establish an ecosystem for precision medicine and convergent medicine, which are pillars of future medicine in the Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam (Bu-Ul-Gyeong) region, secure new growth engines, and build core infrastructure to revitalize the medical industry outside the metropolitan area through its expansion into Eco Delta City.

In November 2019, Kosin University Gospel Hospital signed a consortium agreement with Pukyong National University, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), and Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) to prepare for a medical convergence innovation project through joint entry into Eco Delta City.

In 2019, Kosin University Gospel Hospital was selected as the Busan regional base institution for the 'Innovative Physician-Scientist Joint Research Project' led by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Ministry of Science and ICT, fostering next-generation physician-scientists through joint research with excellent engineering universities in the Bu-Ul-Gyeong region.

Last year, through participation in the 'Artificial Intelligence Learning Data Construction Project' led by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the National Information Society Agency, the hospital also carried out big data and AI program development projects for the diagnosis of solid cancers (thyroid, lung, breast cancer).

Additionally, it is conducting non-face-to-face and MyData projects as part of the smart city pilot project being developed in Eco Delta City, and is implementing mobility-based healthcare services to improve medical accessibility for vulnerable groups such as the elderly and disabled.

Kosin University Hospital is actively promoting demonstration projects through technology partnerships with startups possessing excellent next-generation technologies in the 4th industrial revolution fields such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), big data, and mobile platforms.

It also plays roles as a living lab and testbed through joint research and development projects with large corporations such as Microsoft Korea and LG Electronics.

Hospital Director Oh Kyung-seung said, “We have been preparing the Eco Delta City health cluster project for years to realize dreams and visions for the future of the hospital and medical professionals in the Bu-Ul-Gyeong region, and we intend to officially launch the project through the inauguration ceremony.”

Director Oh added, “We have been expanding our network by communicating and cooperating with smart and u-health companies, and the research achievements with partner institutions represent world-class future medical technologies,” emphasizing, “We are systematically building a private-sector-centered medical ecosystem.”
