Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital selected two national projects for robot proliferation and standardization...Leading innovation
Jul 16, 2024
Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital (Hospital Director Yoo Kyung-ho) will accelerate the construction of a robot ecosystem to implement a smart hospital through two national tasks related to robots.
Hallim University Sacred Heart Hospital was recently selected as a joint research and development institution for developing and spreading the leading model for operating robots for smart hospitals based on RaaS and developing international standards for self-sterilizing and sterilizing robots in hospitals for smart hospitals.
Recently, the medical community is paying attention to service robots to increase work efficiency, solve the shortage of medical personnel, and support elderly patients. However, many hospitals have difficulty introducing and using robots due to high purchase costs, complex hospital spaces, and lack of standardized guidelines and manuals.
In response, Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital plans to leap from a hospital that makes good use of medical service robots to a hospital that spreads robot innovation by preparing a hospital-specific robot operation model and international standards for quarantine robots so that medical institutions can introduce and utilize robots well.
▶Development of the 'Robot Operation Model' with the know-how of successful demonstration of 73 robots
Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital will work with Big Wave Robotics (CEO Kim Min-kyo), an integrated robot solution company, and People & Technology (CEO Hong Seong-pyo, Im Jin-soon), an IoT-based AI solution company, to develop and spread a leading model for robot operation of smart hospital services based on RaaS (Robot as a Service). RaaS is a project to discover a business model that combines software in the robot and medical fields as part of the 「XaaS Leading Project" supported by the Ministry of Science and ICT to promote digital serviceization in various industries.
Through this task, we develop a software-based business model that can solve the high cost of purchasing robots, lack of professional manpower in robot operation, and complex field processes experienced by hospitals hoping to introduce robots and spread them to more than 10 hospitals by the second year.
In addition, Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital plans to develop, upgrade, and demonstrate new robots optimized for hospital processes based on its successful operation of 73 medical service robots of 7 types, the largest in Korea. Through this, on-site consulting and customized scenarios will be provided to hospitals wishing to introduce service robots, and 'bill subscription service' proportional to actual robot usage will be developed to minimize the burden of robots introduced by demanding hospitals.
In addition, ▲ cloud-based RaaS platform advancement ▲ robot operational suitability online evaluation system development ▲ robot introduction change management model development ▲ process-linked robot service development and demonstration will create a new business model for the domestic robot industry and lead the popularization of the robot market.
▶ Development of international standards for self-sterilizing and sterilizing robots in hospitals
Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital will carry out a national project to develop two international standards for hospital quarantine robots with the Korea Institute for Robot Convergence from April this year to December 2028. This project was selected under the theme of 「Development of International Standards for Autonomous Sterilization and Disinfection Robots in Hospitals」 in the first national standard technology improvement project in 2024 hosted by the National Institute of Technology and Standards of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for quarantine robots has emerged as an important task in preventing infections in hospitals and public places. However, since there is no unified international standard, it was difficult to secure the safety of robots and the reliability of quarantine by applying different standards and functions to each manufacturer. Additional costs may also be incurred due to compatibility issues for each manufacturer.
To solve these problems, the two organizations will develop two international standards, the functional requirements of self-sterilizing and sterilizing robots in hospitals and guidelines for self-sterilizing services in smart hospitals using robots. Through this, it is expected to lead the global standard of quarantine robots and contribute to the prevention of infection in hospitals and the establishment of an efficient quarantine system. It also plans to focus on spreading smart quarantine technology.
Lee Mi-yeon, director of the command center at Hallym University Medical Center (Professor of Radiation Oncology at Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital), said "We will promote the introduction of robots in hospitals through the development of a RaaS-based robot operation model and become a standard in the global robot market through the development of international standards for quarantine robots."We will contribute to creating a medical environment where we can receive the help of service robots in various hospitals at home and abroad by successfully carrying out these tasks."
