National Institute for Korean Medicine Development Holds Workshop on Korean Medicine Data Analysis Incorporating AI Agents

The National Institute for Korean Medicine Development (President: Koh Hoyoun) is accelerating digital innovation in research by holding a practical workshop on Korean medicine data analysis incorporating artificial intelligence (AI).

The Institute announced that it successfully completed the "2026 1st Practical Workshop on Korean Medicine Data Analysis" on August 29 at the Seocho Women’s Resources Development Center in Seoul.

This training program was designed for 20 Korean medicine researchers and professionals, aiming to strengthen their practical capabilities in applying generative AI to actual data analysis.

The first part of the workshop covered the concept of network pharmacology, which identifies the efficacy and mechanisms of herbal medicines. In the practical session, participants constructed an "AI Agent" environment that performs data analysis step by step using generative AI, which received a highly positive response.

Since 2023, the National Institute for Korean Medicine Development has been advancing its data analysis training and this year fully integrated generative AI technology.

Through this, the Institute established a foundation that enables researchers to conduct data analysis processes more efficiently and with less programming burden.

Additionally, following the establishment of the Korean Medicine Laboratory Information Management System (KLIMS), the Institute is strengthening the foundation for digital transformation by developing specialized AI chatbots for Korean medicine, such as "MacChat," which has learned the Korean Medicine Standard Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) and other resources.

Kim Sangjin, Head of the Digital Innovation Team at the Institute, stated, "The latest AI technology is key to improving the productivity and accuracy of Korean medicine research," and emphasized, "We will continue to expand practical training programs and lead a data-driven research ecosystem."

Meanwhile, the Institute is scheduled to hold its second practical workshop at the end of October.
