Naver Establishes Dedicated Digital Healthcare Organization… Accelerating Medical AI Business
Naver will establish a new dedicated organization next month to pursue its digital healthcare business in earnest. This organizational expansion is interpreted as a strategy to create new revenue models by combining Naver's artificial intelligence (AI) technology with medical services.
The newly formed organization will be led by Eui-seok Wi and Chan-hee Park, co-CEOs of 'Cenacle Soft,' a medical software company acquired by Naver last year. The two CEOs have built a deep understanding of the medical field while developing cloud-based Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems that assist with hospital operations.
Through this reorganization, Naver plans to consolidate its scattered healthcare-related businesses into one. By doing so, the company intends to enhance synergy between services and build an environment where users can manage their health information or access medical services more conveniently.
In particular, the core of this business is to utilize Naver's strength in AI technology to analyze medical data and provide customized solutions that benefit both patients and doctors. The industry expects that this move by Naver will accelerate the growth of the domestic digital healthcare market.
Much attention is focused on what specific achievements Naver will demonstrate in the medical AI field moving forward. The establishment of this dedicated organization is expected to play a significant role in securing Naver's future growth engines.
