Digital healthcare company, after technology development,

Experts say that domestic digital healthcare companies are required to start a full-fledged game after technology development, and government support and development measures are required to allow them.

On the 16th, the Digital Healthcare Forum 2022, held at CODEX in Seoul, presented several measures for the development of the digital healthcare industry in Korea.

If you have set up a digital healthcare startup thanks to your technology, you will have to do more after you have finished your technology. It is difficult to get approval to apply for clinical trials, but even if the clinical completes the clinical trial, a series of processes that lead to licensing, patent issues, and commercialization of products using their own technology are waiting for startups.

The longer the time to invest in capital without any sales, the less affordable and the more likely the startups are closed. In short, this game has not yet begun since technology development.

Kim Jimin, director of the Digital Healthcare Forum 2022, said, The problem occurs in the areas of technology development. Kim said, Network is important to solve various market issues such as licenses and patents.

It is important to be important to prepare for whether to be classified as medical devices and whether to develop the problem, and to prepare for the need for clinical trials. For reference, the 'Jeonju Medical Device R & D Project' has been established in 2020 and has been in charge of licensing since development.

From the standpoint of operating a digital healthcare company, Korea's health care license is tight, and the law and the system have no elasticity. The business is blocked by the system, and the system cannot follow the technology development.

However, since the healthcare area is closely related to national health, it is not possible to operate the system such as regulations by reflecting only the demands of the industry. Han Ho-sung, chairman of the Digital Healthcare Association, said, It is a good fact that the digital healthcare industry should be further developed in the future, but it is necessary to establish a development direction while considering the effects of personal information protection such as personal information protection..

What digital healthcare companies want is not only government support. Their ultimate demand is to give a chance to receive the right value evaluation of the product.

Kim Gunshot, the head of the Health Industry Development Division, explained that the government is also using the process of being used in the front-line medical field after the approval of the permission of the digital healthcare device, and the process of the health insurance is applied when the scientific and medical basis is accumulated.

Kim said, There are restrictions that need to be valued like medical practices (digital healthcare sectors). And said.

Never Healthcare Research Institute, Never Health, explained that the introduction of human aspects is needed. Na said, Digital healthcare can be viewed from the view of the side of the medical institution and the health care subjects themselves, but the legal parts must be at least guarantee the safety, but pay attention to the salary at the government level. We are worried about whether we can introduce human aspects, and a significant paradigm change is expected through next year and next year, he said.


King Sung, CEO of Welt, said that the government needs a stronger commitment to the full-fledged digital healthcare transition. The advice is that the increase in related budgets and the supplementation of the law and system are required.

He said, The healthcare sector should be verified by the safety and effectiveness, so it is necessary to complement both the government budget and the law as if it were supported by the electric vehicle. He emphasized that an environment that can be used should be created.
