[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Ajou University announced on the 10th that two technologies developed by the university's research team were selected for the Ministry of Science and ICT's announcement of the "2022 Top 100 National R&D Achievements."

The selected achievements were projects led by Professor Noh Byunghee of the Department of Software and Professor Park Raeung of the Department of Medical Informatics at the School of Medicine. Professor Noh conducted research on the "MR-IoT/AI Convergence Platform-based Immersive Collaborative System (Information and Electronics field)," and Professor Park conducted research on the "Common Data Model (CDM)-based Biohealth Integrated Data Network Institutional Expansion Technology Development (Life and Marine field)." Professor Noh's team developed "MR·IoT/AI convergence technology" that integrates ▲Mixed Reality (MR) ▲Internet of Things (IoT) ▲Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to enable information exchange in a common environment, leading the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Professor Park Raeung of Ajou University School of Medicine's Department of Medical Informatics was selected for excellence in the project "Common Data Model (CDM)-based Biohealth Integrated Data Network Institutional Expansion Technology Project," led by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. Professor Park, an expert in medical big data, has been the project leader since its launch in 2018 with a three-year project period. This project is aimed at building a medical big data infrastructure that anonymizes and standardizes vast medical data held by individual hospitals, allowing data analysis and research without concerns about personal information leakage.

The research team has created an integrated infrastructure that exchanges only analysis codes and results without aggregating data. Based on Professor Park's research, as of November, clinical data from 57 domestic hospitals have been converted into the common data model, establishing a nationwide biohealth big data network with participation from 73% of all advanced general hospitals in Korea.
