Additionally, the company plans to establish an teleradiology center in Indonesia

 

 

HealthHub, a leading medical imaging solutions company, hosted a symposium inviting radiology experts from the Asia-Pacific region. The company aims to contribute to the expansion of telemedicine in the region through strong cooperation.

 

On September 5th, HealthHub held a symposium titled "Challenges and Opportunities in Radiology in Indonesia and the Asia-Pacific Region" at the Seoul Garden Hotel, inviting radiology experts from South Korea, Indonesia, Japan, and Vietnam. Kang Dae-hee, former dean of Seoul National University College of Medicine, delivered the opening remarks, and Joo Chang-eon, former CEO of Canon Medical Systems Korea, served as the moderator.

 

 

The first speaker, Dr. Nurdopo Baskoro, president of the Indonesian Society of Radiology (PDSRKI), presented on the challenges and opportunities in radiology in Indonesia. Professor Aziza Ghanie, president of the Indonesian Thoracic Radiology Society, shed light on the future of teleradiology and artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology.

 

Professor Norio Nakata from the Radiology Department of Jikei University Hospital in Japan, the third speaker, presented on the current trends of teleradiology and AI in Japan. Yoshitomo Furusawa, CEO of CVIS (Cardiovascular Imaging Science) in Japan, presented on the trends in teleradiology technology, focusing on cases of cardiovascular imaging centers in Japan and China. Finally, Professor Sung Dong-wook, co-director of the Korean Society of Radiology, presented on the current status and future prospects of teleradiology in Korea.

 

More than 10 Indonesian radiology specialists, including Dr. Vonny Nouva, a member of the Indonesian Medical Council (KKI) and a professor of radiology at Hermina Hospital, attended the symposium and exchanged opinions on cooperation in the field of radiology between Indonesia and Korea.

 

Kim Ki-pung, CEO of HealthHub, who hosted the event, said in his closing remarks, "This symposium has more than just academic exchange. I am confident that the 'AI-based teleradiology center' scheduled to be established in Jakarta, Indonesia, will be the starting point for the expansion of telemedicine exchanges in the Asia-Pacific region."

 

 

He added, "Since 2023, HealthHub has been supplying medical image reading solutions to over 30 major hospitals in Indonesia. To meet the urgent demand for medical image reading in the medical field, we are promoting the construction of a teleradiology platform for all medical institutions in Indonesia. To this end, we have reached an agreement with relevant government agencies (LPMRKI, the Ministry of Health's radiology training center), PDSRKI, and others."

The Indonesian government is actively supporting telemedicine and teleradiology as part of its national policy of digital transformation in the medical field. The strategy is to solve the problem of a severe shortage of medical image reading services compared to the population of 280 million.

 

Kim said that through the symposium, where major Indonesian hospital radiology specialists participated, and the establishment of the teleradiology center in Indonesia, he would strengthen cooperation between radiology experts in Indonesia, Korea, and Japan. He said, "This is an opportunity to announce the start of the expansion of telemedicine in the Asia-Pacific region. HealthHub plans to provide various AI solutions that support rapid medical image reading, as well as our own developed teleradiology platform, to Indonesia."
