The collaboration, which will run from 2025 to 2029, aims to advance early detection and precision treatment by integrating AI with big data, medical imaging, and biosignal analysis. On the part of KUMC, Professor Park Hong-seok, director of KUMC’s medical intelligence and information center, and Professor Joo Hyung-joon, head of the medical data science research group, signed the agreement. 

The research will focus on leveraging Philips’ global clinical data expertise alongside KUMC’s deep-learning capabilities to refine diagnostic accuracy and patient-specific treatment strategies. KUMC said its vision for a super-gap future hospital—a system that integrates AI to improve patient care from early detection to personalized treatment—is the foundation for the partnership. 

According to KUMC, the initiative is expected to generate joint intellectual property, international publications, and global clinical trial collaborations, strengthening Korea’s position in AI-driven healthcare. This partnership is more than just about developing technology. It’s about creating a medical AI ecosystem, Professor Park said. “The synergy between our research capabilities and Philips’ global network will accelerate the development of personalized diagnostic solutions.

Professor Joo emphasized the potential for widespread clinical applications, saying, “By combining large-scale patient data with precision analysis, we aim to drive the next-generation medical paradigm.
