South Korea is sharing its experience in applying digital technologies and artificial intelligence in medicine with representatives of healthcare systems across Central Asia. A delegation comprising officials and specialists from the healthcare and finance sectors of Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan visited Seoul to learn about advanced practices in Korean medicine.
The visit was held as part of a professional capacity development programme organised by the Korea Social Security Information Service in cooperation with the World Bank.
During the visit, particular attention was paid to the activities of the Korea Association of Health Promotion (KAHP) and its experience in using artificial intelligence in medical examinations. Participants were introduced to digital solutions designed to detect diseases at an early stage and improve preventive screening.
Among the technologies presented, an artificial intelligence-powered medical image analysis system was of particular importance. The technology automatically analyses X-ray images, chest computed tomography (CT) scans and mammography results, making it possible to identify potential abnormalities at an early stage. The findings are subsequently reviewed by relevant medical specialists, who prepare the final medical assessment.
Representatives of Central Asian countries also learned about methods of assessing cardiovascular disease risks based on the condition of the retina, electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring systems, continuous blood glucose monitoring, and technologies for analysing body composition.
The delegation was also shown the workflows used at KAHP's 17 regional centres, ranging from digital patient registration to the storage of medical information in electronic archives.
Studying these practices is expected to help Central Asian countries improve their national programmes for developing digital healthcare, increase the accuracy of early disease detection and enhance the effectiveness of preventive medical screenings.
