Daedong Hospital Successfully Holds Demonstration for Mongolia 'Telemedicine Platform Development'

Daedong Hospital (Director Lee Gwangjae) has developed a telemedicine platform that allows convenient access to Korea's advanced medical services in Mongolia, and successfully held a demonstration event in Mongolia on the 2nd.

Daedong Hospital and Mongolian Railway Hospital Successfully Complete Remote Medical System Advancement Project Demonstration.

The Daedong Hospital International Medical Center, which successfully opened a telemedicine clinic within the Railway Hospital in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia last year, was recently selected for the '2024 Busan Medical Technology Exchange Promotion Support Project' organized by Busan City and Busan Economic Promotion Agency. The center proceeded with the platform development for the advancement of the telemedicine center in partnership with Douzone Bizon.

Douzone Bizon's WEHAGO H, a cloud service-based platform, enables real-time, high-resolution, and high-quality audio communication anytime and anywhere regardless of distance, location, or device. This allows for smooth medical communication such as diagnosis, treatment planning, prescription, and collaboration with domestic medical institutions, while also strengthening the management of medical information data with encryption technology.

The demonstration event was attended by Kim Youngjun, Director of the International Medical Center at Daedong Hospital (Orthopedic Specialist), Park Sanghee, Team Leader, Shin Junhan, Coordinator, Lee Sujeong, CEO of Manal Trade and Mongolian interpreter, Erkegul, Director of the Mongolian Railway Hospital, and several medical staff.

Through real-time connection between the Railway Hospital in Ulaanbaatar and Daedong Hospital in Korea, Lee Jimin, Director of the Joint Center (Orthopedic Specialist), provided consultation to a Mongolian patient who hopes to undergo surgery in Korea for shoulder pain via the telemedicine platform.

Director Lee Jimin communicated smoothly with the patient through the Mongolian interpreter regarding the location, intensity, type of pain, and medical history, while observing the range of shoulder movement on the screen.

After jointly reviewing the results of basic and imaging tests conducted at the Railway Hospital, the patient was diagnosed with a rotator cuff tear, and an appropriate treatment plan was established together with the Railway Hospital.

Director Lee Jimin stated, "With the new platform, we were able to conduct telemedicine more stably than before," and added, "We will continue to cooperate with the medical staff of the Mongolian Railway Hospital so that Mongolian patients, who have difficulty receiving specialized treatment due to limited medical accessibility, can receive high-quality Korean medical services through the telemedicine clinic."
