Jun 16, 2025

Hallym University (President Choi Yang-hee), Hallym University Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital (Hospital Director Lee Jae-joon), and New Frontier Research Institute (Hospital Director Lee Jae-joon) will hold the Hallim Brain Conference' at the Ilsong Art Hall and the International Conference Room of Hallym University for a total of five days from June 16 to 20.

The Hallym Brain Conference is an international academic event that covers a wide range of digital health data from actual medical field application to global joint research, clinical demonstration, and industrialization potential. The event was supported by the Ministry of Science and ICT's 'KOREA BIORESEARCH ASSOCIATION International Research Exchange Program' and the school corporation Ilsong Academy.

Digital health data is attracting attention as a key technology in future medical care, enabling precise diagnosis and prognosis prediction based on patient biometric information, contributing to improving medical service quality and narrowing the medical gap between regions. Therefore, Hallym University, Hallym University Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital, New Frontier Research Institute, and Global Frontier Research Center will focus on the possibility and effectiveness of digital health data through this conference and seek practical measures for medical field application and international joint research.




The event will be attended by scholars from the University of Massachusetts Medical School, which has outstanding research skills in the field of genomics and neuroscience, and Harvard Medical School, which leads the world of medicine. In addition, medical industry researchers will participate as major speakers along with domestic and foreign universities such as Cincinnati University, Nagoya City University in Japan, Seoul National University, and Sungkyunkwan University to present various perspectives.

On June 16 and 17, a workshop for up-and-coming researchers will be held and the topics will be 'Digital Health Data-Based Medical Innovation and Analysis Technology' and 'Precise Medical and Community Application Cases Using AI'. Professor Tianxi Kai and Professor Kunxing Yu of the Department of Biomedical Information at Harvard Medical School will give special lectures, followed by presentations and panel discussions on each topic.

On the 18th, we will discuss 'Digital Healthcare Industrialization' as the first regular session. ▲Meeting between wearable biosensors and medical artificial intelligence (Vice President Kim Sung-jong of Sears Technology) ▲ Age of Alzheimer's disease treatment: The importance of brain imaging (CEO Kim Dong-hyun of Neurofit) ▲ AI verification program in healthcare at the University of Massachusetts Medical School (MAIAH) (Professor Adline Zai of the Department of Health Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Medical School) will be held.




In the second session on the 19th, under the theme of overcoming regional limitations of treating acute brain diseases using digital health data, ▲ Development and clinical application of AI-based telemedicine platform for patients with acute brain diseases in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do (Professor Jeon Jin-pyeong of neurosurgery at Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital, Hanlim University) ▲ Joint research on cerebral hemorrhage between Hanlim University and Massachusetts University (Professor Mark Johnson of neurosurgery at the Massachusetts University of Medicine) ▲ Stroke prevention and prediction using an image-based clinical decision-making support system (Professor Kim Chul-ho.

On the 20th, the last session, Professor Shin Dong-soo of the College of Nursing at Hallym University (Director of Global Frontier Research Center) will be the chair under the theme of 「Digital Community Healthcare」 to overcome the super-aged society. ▲ Difficulties experienced by nurses caring for the elderly with dementia in Japan's super-aged society (Hiromi Hirata, Department of Nursing at the University of Nagoya) ▲ Artificial intelligence-based health care intervention (Professor Kim Min-jin of the Department of Nursing at the University of Cincinnati) ▲ AI role in the super-aged society (Professor Oh.

At the end of each session, a panel discussion will follow on the theme of "'Local Essential Medical Improvement, R&D, Clinical Demonstration, and Future Development Directions using Digital Health Data' and 'Local Essential Medical Digital Health Care Policy for Super-aged Society'.




Lee Jae-joon, director of Hallym University's Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital (research center at New Frontier Research Institute), said, "This conference is a venue for cooperation between the medical industry and AI technology in Korea, the United States, and Japan, and the starting point for drawing the future of digital health data together. In particular, as various tasks such as responding to an ultra-aged society, narrowing the medical gap, fostering nursing professionals, and digital technology-based diagnosis and treatment are discussed in a convergent manner, we look forward to making substantial changes in the medical field through continuous exchanges with domestic and foreign experts."

Meanwhile, Hallym University visited the University of Massachusetts in September last year to discuss ways for the two institutions to cultivate talents to lead the global medical AI field and strengthen research cooperation. The University of Massachusetts Medical School is a world-class university with active research activities in international medical and AI fields.
