The two parties have signed a related business agreement and agreed to pursue joint projects in various fields. These include developing and applying standard models for the medical AX platform, verifying, advancing, and commercializing government policy initiatives such as AI-native hospitals, supporting clinical decision-making and enhancing work efficiency based on AI, and accelerating expansion in the healthcare market.

KT will collaborate on the entire process—planning, development, validation, and commercialization—of the medical AX platform, integrating AI, cloud, and data technologies. Seoul National University Hospital will leverage its field expertise to identify practical application areas for the platform, provide medical consulting, and assess validity.

Seoul National University Hospital has established a system that connects clinical practice with AI research. By combining this framework with KT's AX platform and infrastructure capabilities, both parties expect to create significant synergy—for example, by constructing a 'group integrated DX platform' and fostering a comprehensive medical AX ecosystem.

KT plans to use this collaboration as an opportunity to strengthen its medical AX business expertise and expand platform-based partnerships with medical institutions. The company also aims to discover and disseminate AI innovation models that can be applied to the public healthcare sector.

Namjong Baek, President of Seoul National University Hospital, stated, "We will set the standard for platform cooperation among medical institutions and discover practical AI innovation models that can be applied across the entire public healthcare sector. Through these efforts, we will lead the way in ensuring that all citizens benefit from safer, higher-quality medical services."

Bonggyun Kim, Head of KT Enterprise Division (Executive Vice President), said, "KT supports AX across various industries with its proven platform technologies and expertise. Beginning with this partnership with Seoul National University Hospital, we will develop AI-based innovation models for the public healthcare market as well."
