Development of Virtual Patient Simulation Platform
Winning Awards at Various Competitions

The Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at the Graduate School of Dong-Eui University (President Suh Suhwan) has donated 5 million won to the university development fund by collecting prize money from various competitions.

Kim Sunghee, head professor of the Department of Artificial Intelligence and Director of the Industry-Academia Cooperation Foundation, along with graduate and undergraduate students from the laboratory, contributed to the university development fund using prize money awarded for their achievements in various competitions.

Seven graduate and undergraduate students from the DXLab-Heo Sujin, Oh Sangheon, Choi Youngmi, Park Jaeseong, Kim Heejun, Ryu Jinwoo, and Jeon Hyeri-pooled a portion of their prize money. Professor Kim Sunghee added to the amount, bringing the total to 5 million won. On December 9, they presented the donation to President Suh Suhwan in the conference room on the second floor of the main building.

This year, DXLab achieved notable results as its AI-based virtual patient simulation education platform was actually utilized in classes at the College of Korean Medicine at Dong-Eui University and Daegu Haany University.

In August, the team won the Future Growth Award, the President’s Award from the Institute for Information & Communications Technology Planning & Evaluation (IITP), at the "ICT Challenge 2025," one of the largest national competitions hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT and organized by IITP, receiving 5 million won in prize money. They also won the grand prize at the 5th Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam ICT Idea Competition and a special award in the idea category at the 2025 ICT Innovation Digital New Technology Contest.

Choi Youngmi said, "We received a lot of support from the university, which helped us achieve these results, so we wanted to give back and support our juniors." She added, "I hope other students will also continue to study and research diligently, inspire each other positively, and keep growing through various challenges."

Professor Kim Sunghee commented with a smile, "I was proud to see the graduate students achieve such great results through their hard work and research, and I was moved by their desire to give back to the university and support other students, so I decided to join them."
