AI Medic (CEO Shim Eun-bo) participated in the 3th International Medical Equipment and Hospital Equipment Exhibition ‘KIMES 23’ held at COEX, Seoul from March 26rd (Thursday) to 38th (Sunday).
AIMedic is a company that has developed and supplied medical image-based software using artificial intelligence (AI) and computer simulation technology. A medical image processing software business that analyzes cardiac CT images completely automatically without expert intervention for highly difficult coronary artery segmentation, and a non-invasive technology that analyzes fractional flow reserve (FFR) by combining coronary artery segmentation and hemodynamic technology. We are engaged in CT-FFR business.
As part of this, ‘AutoSeg’, introduced by AI Medic at this exhibition, is based on the function of AI modeling the heart in 3D based on each patient’s CT scan data. It boasts high accuracy and sophistication enough to segment coronary arteries, atria and ventricles, and aortic valves, and comprehensively provides important factors in diagnosing heart disease, such as calcium scoring and plaque analysis.
Such software is meaningful in non-invasively identifying necessary measures for patients. Previously, invasive observation was required to determine and diagnose procedures such as stent insertion or drugs appropriate for treatment, but by providing three-dimensional and multifaceted data to medical staff compared to existing medical imaging data, existing requirements and burden on patients can be reduced. The official explains that there is.
An AIMedic official said, “AutoSeg’s modeling technology has already received FDA approval and is currently being actively used as research software in the domestic medical community.” He added, “At the same time, engineering universities are also using AutoSeg to secure 3D modeling for blood flow analysis. “First of all, in the research stage, it has proven its high usability in a wide range of fields,” he explained.
“In the future, our goal is to expand the scope of application to a diagnostic service that patients can experience and contribute to making heart diagnosis easier,” he explained.
On the other hand, KIMES is an exhibition specializing in medical devices and hospital facilities that has grown steadily with the development of the Korean medical industry since its first meeting in 1980. It has transformed into a technology-intensive high-tech industry such as rehabilitation medicine.
In KIMES 2023, new technologies and products suitable for the era of convergence, such as smart healthcare in the era of the 4th industrial revolution, robot medical care and eco-friendly medical waste facilities, advanced hospital facilities, medical information systems combined with IT technology, and the automobile industry for rapid patient transportation, will be presented. showed off In addition, various information was provided, including seminars on medical technology, new technologies, and overseas marketing, as well as domestic medical industry policy seminars to show the latest information and the direction of the medical industry.
