A delegation consisting of 29 experts from industry, academia, research institutes, and hospitals, including Samsung Seoul Hospital, Kyungpook National University, Health All, and the Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine, will strategically promote the 'Quality and Interchange of Genomic Information' standard and three draft standards currently under international standardization work to realize personalized precision medicine.

The three types are ▲ specifications for next-generation sequencing-based clinical genomic data exchange, ▲ items for quality control of next-generation genomic analysis, and ▲ structured Gene Fusion reports for electronic medical records.

In particular, to enable Korea to lead new application industries such as medical AI, we plan to propose two new technical reports (TR), including 'Application Cases of Medical Artificial Intelligence,' and propose international standards (NP) based on them in the future.

Also the secretary of the recently established 'Genomics Informatics' subcommittee (TC215/SC1).We plan to secure the support of experts from participating countries so that we can take on the role.

Korea is pursuing 13 of the 55 international standards currently being worked on by the International Organization for Standardization of Medical Information. In particular, it is actively proposing ICT-based smart health standard technologies as international standards, such as 'Healthcare-AI' and 'Health-Cloud,' which integrate core technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution into medical information.

An official from the Korean Agency for Technology and Standards stated, “We expect these global standardization efforts to act as a catalyst for creating a medical service market in Korea in the future,” adding, “We plan to lay the foundation to become a strong nation in standards by hosting the International Standardization Conference on Medical Information in Korea this November.”
