On the 3rd of July, Chonnam National University Hospital and INFINITT Healthcare initiated the implementation of a digital pathology system, the first of its kind to be adopted in the Chungcheong-Honam region.
Chonnam National University Hospital plans to achieve the digital transformation of its pathology department through INFINITT Healthcare’s digital pathology solution. This is expected to bring an enhancement in the quality of diagnoses and the efficiency of their operations.
In particular, this system will be simultaneously implemented at the main hospital of Chonnam National University Hospital and its specialized cancer hospital, Hwasun Chonnam National University Hospital. As a result, the pathology data between the two physically distant hospitals will be integrated and managed collectively.
During the project initiation ceremony, Hospital Director Ahn Young-geun stated, “The digital transformation of the pathology department is absolutely necessary to effective utilization of the hospital’s big data. We believe that INFINITT Healthcare, an industry-leading company in medical imaging, will be an excellent partner for us in the field of digital pathology as well.” He finished off his speech by expressing hopes that this initiative would lead to further cases of digital pathology adoptions in the Chungcheong-Honam region.
In response, Kim Dong-wook, the CEO of INFINITT Healthcare, said, “Digital pathology is the key to precision medicine. We will do our best to guide and support Chonnam National University Hospital in its ongoing journey towards medical innovation.”
