Sunwoo Woong-sang, Director of Research at Gachon University Gil Hospital, Commended the Minister of Health and Welfare for Contributing to National Medical Data Innovation
Dec 04, 2025
Sunwoo Woong-sang, professor of otolaryngology at Gachon University Gil Hospital, recently won the Ministerial Award in the field of using health care data at the '2025 ICT-based medical policy merit' organized by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
The Ministerial Award is given to experts who have substantially contributed to innovation based on national medical data, such as medical data integration, standardization, fake information processing, data combination, and AI research ecosystem creation. Professor Sunwoo was selected as the winner in recognition of his contribution to building a medical data-based research environment by participating in the medical data-oriented hospital project.
First of all, Professor Sunwoo created an environment to provide high-quality combined datasets to researchers by integrating clinical, sample, and cancer data scattered in hospitals. This greatly strengthened hospital research capabilities by upgrading the existing 'research environment' that was only provided with samples to ' multi-modal integrated medical data linkage'.
In addition, he served as the head of the Health IT Research Center at Gachon University Gil Hospital, leading the establishment of a data review committee (DRB), and systematized data utilization governance, including the establishment of bylaws and deliberation processes. Professor Sunwoo's core achievements include processing pseudonym information and preparing a security system to safely provide data to external researchers, and supporting data combination services for multi-center research.
In addition, ▲ established a closed network data analysis room for researchers to analyze safely ▲ construct a research CDM environment that enhances research scalability ▲ establishing a convenient data resource open portal for researchers, etc. to reorganize the overall base for using medical data.
In addition, it has contributed to revitalizing joint research with industries and continues to contribute extensively in the field of digital healthcare through the establishment of a GPU-based research support system and in-house AX ecosystem to revitalize AI research.
Professor Sunwoo said "It is a safe and reliable data environment that is the basis for patient safety and medical development."We will continue to strengthen the research foundation so that Gachon University Gil Hospital can play a central role in medical data and AX innovation."
