South Korean hospitals could be set to usher in a new era of industry 4.0-era healthcare, and will look to use blockchain technology to upgrade the quality of the medical care they provide.
Taking the lead is one of the country’s most prestigious hospital groups, Yonsei Medical Center, whose Vice President Yoon Dong-seop revealed that Yonsei was working on an “open innovation platform.”
The platform, said Yoon, will make use of blockchain technology, AI advances and other industry 4.0 tech such as Big Data to manage patients’ medical records. The new platform will also “organically” link research projects – creating a network of biosensor data, digital neural networks, smart medical centers, medical devices, diagnostic devices and research data for new drugs and treatments.
