Under this agreement, the two companies will jointly design the composition and quality standards of healthcare datasets, including text, video, and images. They plan to establish annotation and labeling systems, as well as guidelines for adding information to the data, and will also set up a quality verification framework. In addition to Korean, they will collaborate in building multilingual datasets, including English, Vietnamese, and Indonesian.

Lifex will formulate data composition standards in the healthcare field and will be responsible for medical review and quality assessment. The company will leverage its experience and capabilities in collecting healthcare data through its pregnancy and infant healthcare services, as well as support services for cancer and rare disease patients, for dataset design and review. In accordance with personal data protection laws and standards for the use of healthcare data, de-identification measures and internal review procedures will also be applied.

Flitto will use its proprietary data construction platform and skilled personnel to oversee data annotation, labeling, and quality management. By leveraging its expertise in building, translating, reviewing, and localizing multilingual datasets, Flitto will support the development of datasets suitable for use overseas.

The two companies plan to form a working-level consultative body to review cooperation tasks, schedules, and quality standards. In particular, they will focus on building a data infrastructure to be used in AI research and development related to mothers and infants, especially in areas such as pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting where AI training data is relatively scarce.

Min Hoo Jang, CEO of Lifex, stated, "In fields like healthcare, which require expertise and trust, the quality and standards of training data are crucial. By combining Lifex’s healthcare expertise with Flitto’s data-building capabilities, we aim to create a reliable data foundation."
