Through this business agreement, the two parties plan to explore ways to operate high-quality endoscopic examinations using Weimed Endo. Additionally, since it is being introduced in public hospitals, they will cooperate to ensure that advanced medical technology is used in a socially and publicly valuable manner.

Weimed Endo is the first domestic medical device software that analyzes stomach and colon endoscopy examinations in real time using AI. Beyond lesion detection, it provides medical staff with suspected gastric cancer areas and the probability of gastric cancer to assist diagnostic decisions. This innovative technology was recognized and designated as the 37th innovative medical device. As of last year, it has been installed in seven countries including Korea.

Kim Kyungnam, CEO of Weisen, said, “The Central Veterans Hospital is a medical institution responsible for the health of those who have sacrificed and dedicated themselves to the nation, so the responsibility for this introduction is special.” He added, “We will do our best to actively utilize our service as a means to provide high-quality veterans medical services to national merit recipients.”
