NHIS Expands Health Insurance Big Data Services

The National Health Insurance Service announced on the 18th that it has expanded services to enable researchers to easily utilize health insurance big data.

To this end, the Service increased remote research analysis spaces by 510, establishing a total of 1,355 operational environments. Additionally, a pseudonymized information linkage service function was added to the health insurance data sharing service, allowing users to apply for data linkage, review, and export requests. A data warehouse (DW) and research database development environment were also established to produce high-quality big data and operate a stable provision system.

The Service also announced improvements to enable users to utilize data for personal health management. Through algorithms on the mobile app, users can easily predict chronic diseases such as diabetes and stroke. Furthermore, by integrating medical usage indicators and medical maps, health screening statistical information by region and workplace can be visualized. This aims to provide a basis for promoting customized health care projects.

Meanwhile, the Service added that it has completed a consulting project for efficient management of future-oriented health insurance big data, conducted in connection with the construction project, and established a mid- to long-term big data promotion strategy to prepare for the future.
