If telemedicine is introduced in Korea, it will be a primary medical-oriented re-examination treatment. That makes it difficult for a strong platform operator to come out.”As there is a view that the timing of the introduction of telemedicine in Korea will be shortened due to COVID-19, interest in the domestic telemedicine introduction model is increasing in the future. If so, how can telemedicine be introduced in Korea. Considering that telemedicine is still illegal in Korea, it is necessary to look at the precedent cases of the United States, which are legalized. According to him, there are various telemedicine models in the U.S., but they can be largely divided into telemedicine models and American well models. The Teladoc model is mainly a platform business that connects consumer needs that want telemedicine and medical providers, such as “Baedal Minjok” and “Uber.” On the other hand, the American Well model helps with the infrastructure that telemedicine can be provided. If telemedicine is introduced in Korea in the future, the American Well model will be suitable.
This is because it is difficult to activate the active telemedicine platform business in a situation where there are many concerns about side effects. Since there is infinite competition between costs, there is a concern about the concentration of patients due to telemedicine, he said. “There is a high possibility that telemedicine will be introduced only for primary care to reduce side effects as much as possible.” He then suggested, “Since the platform is centered on re-examination patients, it will be difficult for active platform solution companies to survive in the end,” adding, “The model is reasonable to install high-quality video cameras or infrastructure for telemedicine.”However, he believed that it would take quite a while to legalize telemedicine. This is because not only medical groups but also civic groups are putting their lives and lives on the line against telemedicine. “The ruling party expected telemedicine to proceed immediately with 180 seats in the general election, but the reality was not so,” he said. “It would have been easy to introduce if the medical community opposed it, but it seems difficult to revise the law because civic groups opposed it for medical profit.” “In fact, telemedicine and medical commercialization do not have much to do with it, but civic groups seem to accept it as a starting point for commercialization if companies intervene in medical care,” he said. Then, I would like to talk about infomination that has been approached by developing artificial intelligence chatbots and line sensing that can be the core of the platform in Teladoc Healthcare in the U. Although it is an area that has not yet been institutionalized in Korea, a system that can monitor with devices that can help the manpower of nurses and medical staff has been established and is being piloted.
It is being implemented at a university general hospital called Sinchon Severance and has good effects and responses. The 24-hour monitoring service not only manages nurse patient status checks more efficiently, but also allows both patients and medical staff to monitor medical conditions optimally in real time. Now, until this year or next year, the software will be a medical worker. Ahead of the approval, the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety is going through the steps. Maybe it will be a company that can claim to be a leader in medical health care in Korea telemedicine
