This event was co-hosted by the New Frontier Research Institute of Hallym University and Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital of Hallym University, in collaboration with research partners such as Sears Technology Co., Chonnam National University Hospital, Jeju National University Hospital, and partner company Purple AI Co.

The performance report meeting was organized to share the achievements of the "Development of a Cloud-Based Non-Face-to-Face Collaboration Platform Linked to EMR for Severe Cerebral Hemorrhage Patients in Medically Underserved Areas (2022-2025)" project, which has been promoted for three years since 2022 with support from the Pan-Ministerial Full-Cycle Medical Device R&D Project Group. The meeting also aimed to discuss future directions for research and development and potential applications.

Key attendees included Jintaek Kim, Governor of Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province; Beopmin Kim, Head of the Pan-Ministerial Full-Cycle Medical Device R&D Project Group; Heesung Yoon, Chairman of Ilsong Foundation; Yanghee Choi, President of Hallym University; and Jaejun Lee, Director of Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital. In addition, Donghan Yuk, Mayor of Chuncheon, sent a congratulatory message via video to celebrate the event.

Development of Korea's First AI-Based Integrated Remote Collaboration Platform for Cerebral Hemorrhage... Helped Save 17 Actual Patients

This research is highly regarded for establishing Korea's first integrated remote collaboration platform for cerebral hemorrhage, which combines artificial intelligence (AI)-based diagnostic technology with EMR-linked medical information to provide AI diagnosis, treatment guidance, and specialist collaboration. The aim was to improve the reality faced by medically underserved regions, where securing the golden hour (3 hours) for severe cerebral hemorrhage patients is challenging.

One of the core achievements of this research is the establishment of a nationwide remote collaboration network. The research team conducted multi-institutional demonstrations connecting hub hospitals and hospitals in medically underserved areas across three regions: Gangwon, Jeonnam, and Jeju, verifying the clinical applicability of the platform. Hub hospitals included Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital of Hallym University, Chonnam National University Hospital, and Jeju National University Hospital, with participating partner hospitals such as Hongcheon Asan Hospital, Inje Goryeo Hospital, Yanggu Sacred Heart Hospital, Haenam Woori General Hospital, and Seogwipo Medical Center.

Notably, when this remote collaboration system was applied to the actual treatment of emergency cerebral hemorrhage patients, it contributed to the survival of 17 patients, clearly demonstrating both the clinical effectiveness and technical completeness of the platform.

Through this, a real-time remote collaboration system between hub hospitals and local medical institutions was established, resulting in a nationwide collaborative model that can be applied to actual patient care.

Presenting a Public Healthcare Innovation Model for Standardizing Cerebral Hemorrhage Treatment and Reducing Medical Disparities

The consultative body, which included neurosurgery specialists from regional hub hospitals such as Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital of Hallym University, Gangwon National University Hospital, Gangneung Asan Hospital, and Wonju Severance Christian Hospital, developed a platform-based "Non-Face-to-Face Collaboration Clinical Protocol for Cerebral Hemorrhage," presenting a standard clinical model suitable for the Korean medical field.

Additionally, by producing the "Pocket Guidebook for Cerebral Hemorrhage Treatment Utilizing Digital Solutions" for medical staff in medically underserved areas of Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province, practical guidelines that can be immediately used in clinical settings were distributed, supporting the rapid dissemination of the platform. This platform is expected to enable the efficient use of specialized medical resources through non-face-to-face collaboration and significantly contribute to securing the golden hour for emergency patients in medically underserved areas.

Sharing Future Strategies for Digital Healthcare in Response to a Super-Aged Society... Expanding Inter-Institutional Collaboration

The performance report meeting was attended by representatives from Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym University Kangnam Sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym University Hangang Sacred Heart Hospital, the head of Chuncheon Public Health Center, the head of Hongcheon Public Health Center, and other officials from healthcare-related institutions in the region and beyond, demonstrating high interest in the project. Professor Jinpyeong Jeon (General Director, Department of Neurosurgery, Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital) and researchers from partner institutions (Sears Technology Co., Chonnam National University Hospital, Jeju National University Hospital) shared each institution's research achievements and discussed directions for advancing digital medical systems and expanding public healthcare innovation.

Professor Jinpyeong Jeon, the general director, stated, "The most significant meaning of this research is that it went beyond technical achievements to directly contribute to the survival of actual emergency cerebral hemorrhage patients. Our goal is to overcome the structural limitations of medically underserved areas through technology, using a practical platform that local medical staff can utilize at any time." He added, "We will continue to collaborate with local governments and public institutions to drive innovation centered on frontline medical staff and contribute to reducing regional medical disparities and establishing a public healthcare safety net."

Director Jaejun Lee said, "I hope this performance report meeting will serve as a foundation for the sustainable development of the public healthcare system and the expansion of the national digital healthcare ecosystem. In particular, our research team is currently conducting overseas demonstrations of the non-face-to-face collaboration platform with the University of Massachusetts in the United States, proving that the technology validated in Korea can also be recognized on the global stage."

He continued, "As our society rapidly enters a super-aged era, the demand for medical care for serious emergency diseases such as cerebrovascular diseases will only increase. This platform will serve as a key foundation for proactively responding to these changes and strengthening the sustainability of regional healthcare and the capabilities of public healthcare."
