LLM-driven precision medicine decision support system live at Seoul National University Hospital
The Seoul National University Hospital recently unveiled a clinical decision -making system for the treatment of precision medicine.
Why it matters
The SNUH Polaris (ONCOLOGY and RARE-COMMON DISEASE support) would be the first of its kind in South Korea which supports personalized treatment piloted by AI and on the basis of large clinical and genomic data.
Propelled by a large language model (LLM), it extracts, integrates and refines data previously dispersed on pathology, diagnosis, genomes, surgery and processing information from HIS.
He also joined the new generation of the hospital sequencing cancer group to quickly provide a real -time comparison and analysis of large genomic data, informing the diagnosis of cancer at the care point. TThe resulting ideas are also validated crossed by clinical and genomic experts.
Snuh Polaris, developed by a team comprising 30 departments and 87 multidisciplinary employees, is initially applied to cancer cases and will later be widened to cover rare diseases and chronic diseases.
The biggest trend
SNUH recently rejected its inherited computer systems and Transitioned to an environment based on cloud and private CHRs to simplify and minimize physical network configurations. It has also adopted advanced encryption, multi-factor authentication, network safety and final points systems, real-time surveillance and resumption after disaster, as well as acquiring the national information security certification of the Korean government, in order to fully ensure the protection of patient data, operational continuity and regulatory compliance. These measures have been recognized in its recent validation for stage 6 of the overall recognized HIMSS infrastructure model.
With a robust computer infrastructure in place, the hospital is ready to continue more Big Data projects. Recently, SNUH and its two affiliate hospitals in Bundang and Boramae have Consolidated their common databases to allow studies and collaborations across the network.
Meanwhile, SNUH presented in April which could be the First Medical LLM in South Korea. Although it has not yet been officially used to help clinical research, a study has shown that the model has surpassed takers of the Korean medical license exams and could simultaneously deal with texts of 50,000 words.
