Gosin University Gospel Hospital Launches Full-Scale Collaboration with Smart Radar System
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Two weeks after holding the final presentation event last month as the second phase of the 'Large-Star Solver Platform,' collaboration results between problem-posing institutions and startup companies have begun to emerge in the Artificial Intelligence Championship.
The Ministry of SMEs and Startups (Minister Park Young-sun, hereinafter referred to as the Ministry) announced on the 20th that Kosin University Gospel Hospital (Hospital Director Choi Young-sik) and Smart Radar System (CEO Kim Yong-hwan), who participated in the AI Championship, signed a business agreement to build smart healthcare.
The Large-Star Solver Platform is a new win-win policy promoted twice this year by the Ministry, which finds and connects startup companies that can best solve problems proposed by large corporations and others. Eight institutions, including Kosin University Gospel Hospital, participated as problem-posing institutions in the AI Championship, and the final winning companies were selected last month.
The otolaryngology professor Lee Hwan-ho team at Kosin University Gospel Hospital’s U-Health Care Center posed the problem of developing an "artificial intelligence that analyzes abnormal gait patterns and predicts fall risks," providing big data related to the gait of dizziness patients and the general public. Smart Radar System took second place overall with "artificial intelligence that applies deep learning to 4-dimensional (4D) image radar to predict abnormal gait patterns and fall risks." Smart Radar System’s proposed solution is a technology that complements the limitations of wearable devices and similar equipment in charging, privacy protection, and motion analysis in situations without light.
Through this agreement, both parties will jointly research posture, gait, and falls of patients with various diseases centered on Kosin University Gospel Hospital’s U-Health Care Center, and will also conduct advanced research and commercialization of a motion detection system that integrates wearable devices and AI radar. Kosin University Gospel Hospital is also preparing to collaborate with the first-place winning team, 'SpiderCore,' to refine AI analysis models that analyze posture and gait and predict fall risks based on clinical information of patients with various diseases.
Professor Lee Hwan-ho said, "The AI Championship was an opportunity to meet startup companies like Smart Radar System that possess both technological excellence and business potential," adding, "In particular, providing customized development environments for each startup company to ensure that their various algorithm formats could be properly implemented during the competition seems to have been a key factor in the success of this AI Championship."
