Graduate student Kim Jin-hee has been using an 'AI counselor' for about a year.

When she writes a diary in the app, the AI counselor analyzes the content and sends a reply.

[Kim Jin-hee/Service User: "It's nice to be able to talk about more personal things since it's not a person, and it also finds points to praise and gives good advice."]

In just one year since its launch, the number of users has exceeded 50,000.

[Han Mi-hwa/LG Uplus Service Manager: "Even if the customer's diary goes to GPT, that content is not learned by GPT. Its security is verified..."]

When a thyroid ultrasound image is input, the nodules are clearly marked.

The AI analyzes the size and risk level of the nodules.

[Lee Ha-young/Professor of Radiology at Eunpyeong St. Mary's Hospital: "Tasks like writing reports that take a lot of time can also be shortened..."]

The AI, which has learned from over 10,000 hospital sleep test data, accurately analyzes sleep conditions.

[Lee Dong-heon/CEO of 'A-Sleep': "(The AI) analyzes sleep every 30 seconds. You just need to download the app and press 'go to sleep' once, and the sleep assessment starts immediately."]

The AI incorporated global digital healthcare market is expected to grow to 2,000 trillion won by 2032.

[Kim Young-woong/President of the Korea Digital Health Industry Association: "What used to be assets of hospitals are now going to the information subjects, individuals, and the people. So that part needs to be managed well..."]

However, there are also voices calling for the establishment of data utilization standards in order for AI-customized health management to stabilize quickly.
