Prof. Cho Chi-heum, President of Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center, is a distinguished medical scientist and professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. A pioneer in smart hospital systems, Prof. Cho is dedicated to creating a ‘Patient-First Emotional Hospital’ using AI and smart platforms, emphasizing that technology should enhance rather than replace human care.

Under his leadership, the center implemented a groundbreaking next-generation hospital information system in 2018, the first among tertiary-level hospitals. His initiatives include the Smart Hospital Leading Model Development Support Project, the establishment of a Healthcare Data-Centered Hospital in 2020, and the Digital Healthcare Medical Device Verification Support Project in 2022. Collaborating with Kakao Healthcare from 2023, he is spearheading digital innovation and big data platform development.

The hospital leverages AI for various diagnoses and treatments, including the VUNO Med®-DeepCARS® cardiac arrest prediction program, Siemens Healthineers’ AI-Rad Companion, and AI-based emergency room patient severity classification.
