On the 8th, Lunit announced that it will launch a project to introduce its medical artificial intelligence solution to the Armed Forces Medical Command starting next year. This project is part of the 'Data Dam' project, which is a core element of the Digital New Deal.

Since 2016, Lunit has been discussing various ways in which AI can be utilized in military medicine with the Armed Forces Medical Command and the Army Medical Office to provide more advanced medical services for soldiers.

Lunit, selected for the 'Establishment of AI-Converged Medical Imaging Diagnosis and Interpretation System' project consortium organized by the National Information & Communication Technology Promotion Agency (NIPA) under the Ministry of Science and ICT, will form a consortium with Tubico and Taeyoung Soft.

In addition, this year, we will learn from medical imaging data related to lung diseases such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, and pneumothorax, as well as fracture diseases provided by the Ministry of National Defense to provide the most suitable solution for the military environment, and in 2021, we plan to introduce AI to the field of military medical institutions as a pilot project.

In a study involving 20,000 chest X-ray images provided by the Ministry of National Defense, Lunit’s artificial intelligence accurately diagnosed active pulmonary tuberculosis. Notably, the reading time per X-ray was only a few seconds, demonstrating the potential to establish a more accurate and rapid military medical system for large-scale screening of infectious diseases when utilizing AI.

"We are pleased to establish a continuous relationship with military medical services through this pilot project consortium," said Seo Beom-seok, CEO of Lunit. "We plan to accelerate our research to provide innovative medical services for our soldiers."
