South Korean medical institutions and regulatory bodies are increasingly integrating artificial intelligence into clinical diagnostics and administrative workflows. Researchers at Seoul Asan Medical Center, in collaboration with GC Genome, have developed an AI-driven blood test using cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis to diagnose colorectal cancer. In a study of 1,677 participants, the method achieved a diagnostic sensitivity of 90.4% and a specificity of 94.7%, maintaining 100% sensitivity for stage 4 cancer. Clinical adoption includes the ‘DrNoon CVD’ at Hongseong Medical Center for Center, which uses retinal imaging to predict cardiovascular risk prediction and risks like myocardial infarction within one minute. Additionally, the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) utilizing is applying deep learning for to medical image reviews. HIRA maintains that reviews, such as knee joint fields, to assist in medical fee reviews while AI increases efficiency, all maintaining that final professional decisions remain with human personnel. National R&D projects are accelerating continue to accelerate this integration. Under the ‘Korean ARPA-H Project,’ institutions such as like Hwasun Chonnam National University Hospital are building AI-based cancer management networks, while Gachon University is developing elderly pain management platforms for the elderly. platforms, and Chungnam National University Hospital is also working on the ‘KoreaHealth.ai’ platform to enable AI agents to manage for clinical tasks. task management. In the pharmaceutical and administrative sectors, K-MEDI Hub has increased its investment in AI-driven drug discovery to 74.16 billion KRW. EzCaretech is leading a national project to develop for AI cloud-based hospital information systems for public institutions, systems, and Bit Computer has launched ‘Medigent AI’ to assist with medical for insurance claims. Specialized clinical advancements include S-Pohang Hospital’s development of At the KIMES BUSAN 2026 exhibition, HIRA showcased startup innovations including Pill Good’s AI to improve X-ray analysis accuracy following spinal surgery. pharmacy kiosk, A.D. Cure’s voice AI for heart failure, and Wellysis’s generative AI ECG platform.
