AI-based medical diagnostic solutions are disrupting the medical market. AI technology has emerged across the medical market. Among them, the field leading commercialization and the market is the solution that analyzes medical images (including image data) based on AI. Particularly for image analysis involving subjective evaluations by medical professionals, such as CT, MRI, and X-rays, AI technology is suitable for securing analysis accuracy and objective interpretations. Recognizing this technical potential, companies are actively entering the market.

AI-based medical diagnostic technology fundamentally applies deep learning medical image analysis technology. Based on a deep learning model trained on medical image (video) data, it interprets the presence of diseases. Specifically, when creating image interpretation algorithms to diagnose the presence of diseases, deep learning architectures (model structures), parameter optimization, and more must be considered. To improve disease diagnosis accuracy, a large amount of data needs to be trained. However, there is currently a limitation where training data is limited to specific diseases, focusing on a few diseases with insufficient data. The goal of the AI-based medical diagnostic solution market is to achieve diagnostic accuracy and versatility in diagnosing various diseases.

At this inflection point, Korean companies are actively advancing. Kai Health Co., Ltd. (CEO Lim Hye-ju) has succeeded in attracting investment (Pre-A) due to its recognized AI-based infertility solution technology. Kai Health's AI-based infertility solution is an AI solution that can help infertile couples select the best embryo during in vitro fertilization procedures to increase pregnancy rates. In particular, CEO Lee Hye-jun is a former infertility specialist obstetrician and gynecologist who has developed a high-accuracy algorithm based on extensive clinical experience and data from over 20 hospitals. With this investment, they will conduct domestic clinical trials for medical device certification from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety while simultaneously expanding to various solutions such as infertility, pregnancy, and contraception.

Additionally, Medipixel Co., Ltd. (CEO Song Gyo-seok), an AI-based medical solution company, has also succeeded in attracting investment (Series B, 17 billion won) due to its recognized technological capabilities. Medipixel's solution 'MPXA' is an AI solution that automatically finds the areas of blood vessels with stenosis in cardiovascular angiography images and displays the degree of stenosis numerically. This solution fully automates the entire analysis process within 1-2 seconds, assisting doctors in real-time during procedures such as stent placement.
