[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Busan City will hold the ‘2022 Medical ICT Convergence Center Performance Report Meeting (Re-Boot Day)’ at 5 PM on the 15th in the Emerald Room of Lotte Hotel Busan.

Under the theme ‘Busan, Opening the Future of Digital Healthcare,’ this performance report meeting, named ‘Re-Boot Day’ to signify ‘an ending is another beginning,’ will share the business achievements pursued by the Medical ICT Convergence Center this year.

To provide an opportunity for the regional medical industry to take a leap forward, lectures on the topics of ▲‘Commercialization Cases and Strategies of Biomedical Medical Device Technology’ ▲‘Utilization of Health Insurance Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and the Future of Healthcare Data’ ▲‘Development of the Medical Device Industry and Digital Healthcare’ will be held.

The ‘Medical ICT Convergence Center,’ opened in 2016 and operated by the Busan Economic Promotion Agency, is promoting ▲digital healthcare technology development and commercialization support ▲planning task support in the digital healthcare industry sector ▲support for market expansion of companies to foster the regional medical and healthcare industry.

Among the projects carried out this year, a major one was participating in Japan’s largest exhibition, ‘2022 Medical Japan Osaka (MEDICAL JAPAN 2022, OSAKA),’ with 11 local companies. Despite the COVID-19 situation, one interpreter was assigned per company, and online real-time communication support was provided, resulting in high satisfaction among participating companies.

In particular, to establish efficient policy support measures, a follow-up survey on the performance over the past five years (2017?2021) was conducted targeting 57 companies supported in technology development and commercialization, planning tasks, and market expansion fields. In 2023, demand-tailored and effective company support reflecting corporate preferences will be implemented in business operations.

Shin Chang-ho, Director of the Future Industry Bureau of the city, said, “With the meaning that an ending is another beginning, we will strive in various ways to support companies so that the capabilities of digital healthcare companies, which are attracting attention as a new growth industry, can be strengthened through performance sharing and exchange.”
