Development of AI Dietary Management Solution and Artificial Pancreas Algorithm
[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] KT announced on the 8th that it is developing digital twin technology for type 1 diabetes patients in collaboration with Catholic University Seoul St. Mary's Hospital.
Digital twin is a technology that replicates real objects or systems exactly in a virtual space and has recently been applied in healthcare.
KT will develop an artificial intelligence (AI) dietary management solution and an advanced artificial pancreas algorithm using daily records of diabetes patients collected by Seoul St. Mary's Hospital.
The AI dietary management solution is a technology that helps manage diets by recognizing food types and nutritional components through image recognition technology, and the artificial pancreas algorithm analyzes the amount of insulin to be injected according to the patient's blood sugar using AI.
This project, conducted under the "Extended Reality (XR) Core Technology Development Project for the Activation of Digital Therapeutics" led by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Institute for Information & Communications Technology Planning & Evaluation, also involves Yeungnam University Hospital, Medical Excellence, i-SENS, and EOPLO.
Han Ja-kyung, Executive Director of the Convergence Research Institute at KT's Convergence Technology Center, said, "Based on KT's industrial AI capabilities, we plan to collaborate with various companies in the medical field," adding, "We will develop frontier technologies that can provide practical help to patients and strive to expand healthcare services in daily life."
