CONVERGENCE
PLAYGROUND
Open convergence and innovation across industry, university, research institute, and hospital
The Digital Health Center is designed as a “Convergence Playground,” facilitating the free and safe use of medical data. This initiative promotes open convergence and innovation across industry, academia, research, and medical sectors, and enhances communication with the medical center’s legacy systems.
Located on the first and second floors of the Heavy Ion Therapy Center, the Digital Health Center provides a space that promotes the free and safe use and research of medical data under the principle of “Life-saving Digital Innovation.”
The center commits to transitioning from traditional “administrative system consolidation” to “open convergence across industry, university, research institute, and hospital.” It concentrates on digital health research and development grounded in medical data and supports integration with the medical center’s legacy systems. The center enables the internalization and enhancement of ICT systems developed through national projects. It supports open demonstrations and the research and development of ICT outputs from joint or corporate research, alongside various administrative connections in Yonsei University Health System.
Moving forward, the Digital Health Center will continue to offer diverse collaborative methods within a robust security framework to enable the safe and unrestricted use of medical data, both internally and externally.
