KT held the "KT AXis: Medical 2026" seminar for major hospitals nationwide to introduce its unveiled "medical standardization model" to hospital customers. The seminar took place on the 21st at Courtyard by Marriott Seoul Botanic Park in Gangseo-gu, Seoul.
More than 60 people from hospitals nationwide, including tertiary general hospitals and regional public hospitals, attended the seminar. The purpose of the seminar was to introduce the "medical standardization model" KT unveiled on the 1st to hospital customers.
At the seminar, KT shared AX adoption strategies that leverage medical data and AI agents. KT also unveiled trends in medical AX and major hospital application cases on site.
KT also presented phased AI adoption plans tailored to each hospital's system and data environment. Through this, it introduced directions for AI adoption suited to each hospital's system and data conditions.
The "medical standardization model" is an AX model that integrates telecommunications, cloud infrastructure, medical data platforms, and AI services. The model focuses on improving patient care experiences, supporting medical staff work, and enhancing hospital operating efficiency. It is also designed so that hospitals can select and deploy the services they need around common challenges faced by medical institutions.
In the presentation, Jang Dae-sung, managing director in charge of enterprise innovation at KT, first introduced the model's main components and utilization strategies. Next, Choi Jong-won, partner at KPMG, explained issues to consider when introducing data and AI, based on trends in Korea's medical AX market and major hospital innovation cases.
KT then unveiled a data platform and AI agents for medical settings. The medical data platform standardizes and connects information scattered across hospitals, including electronic medical records, medical images, tests, and research data. Through this, the medical data platform lays the groundwork for AI use.
KT also presented an operating room schedule agent applied to operating room management. The agent supports operating room operations by linking surgery schedules with bed and staffing status. It also recommends alternative schedules when plans change due to surgery cancellations, delays, or emergencies. At the event, AI's surgery schedule recommendation and adjustment process was demonstrated.
In addition, KT introduced an "AI patient assistant" for patient touchpoints. Based on an AI voice bot, the "AI patient assistant" responds to patient inquiries 24 hours a day. It also helps improve patient convenience and consultation efficiency by providing guidance on departments by symptom, scheduling appointments, and post-treatment information.
KT plans to expand cooperation with major hospitals nationwide on the back of this seminar and also expand its support system for AX adoption. Based on the medical standardization model, KT plans to support AX adoption tailored to each hospital's priority tasks. The approach is to first establish a foundation for using medical data, then move on to practical application of AI agents, while supporting a phased transition tailored to each hospital's environment.
Jang said that while each hospital has different challenges and system environments, there are also common work areas that can be improved through the use of data and AI. Accordingly, KT plans to provide proven functions in modular form through the medical standardization model and expressed its commitment to supporting AX adoption in a way that allows hospitals to choose the services they need.
