Dong-A University Department of Health Management Wins Special Prize at HIRA Big Data Competition

Dong-A University (President Lee Haewoo) announced on September 1 that students from the Department of Health Management achieved outstanding results at the "2025 Industry-Academia-Government Customized Talent Development Education - HIRA Big Data Competition," hosted by the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service.

This competition featured a total of 158 participants (34 teams) from nine universities, including Dong-A University, Daejeon University, Dankook University, Sangmyung University, Hongik University, Yonsei University Mirae Campus, Dong-Eui University, Hallym University, and Kongju National University. From Dong-A University's Department of Health Management, 25 students (five teams) participated.

The competition was held over five days and four nights at Oak Valley Resort in Wonju, Gangwon Province, and consisted of: ▲ HIRA big data theory and practical training (2 days), ▲ team project execution (2 days), and ▲ a presentation session (1 day).

The "Core Team" from Dong-A University's Department of Health Management (Ha Jungmin, Eun Jinsu, Jung Jongheon, Kim Sunghoon, Jang Junseo, and Bae Yumin) analyzed mental health issues by age group using data and proposed customized policies under the theme of "Analysis of Mental Health Issues and Policy Proposals." The team received a special prize (Vice President's Award from Yonsei University Mirae Campus).

Bae Yumin, a student, said, "It was not easy to select a topic, conduct analysis, and propose policies in such a short period, but the mentoring from the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service and the department's big data education were a great help. It was a valuable experience that will also benefit my career after graduation."

Professor Lim Jihae, head of the department, stated, "With support from the RISE Project Group's talent development program, we were able to provide students with a great opportunity. We will further expand our customized industry-academia-government programs to nurture glocal talents equipped with big data capabilities needed in the industrial field."
