K-Digital Healthcare Summit

This summit presents the changes and technological paradigm shifts in the healthcare industry.

K-Digital Healthcare Summit

Healthcare is moving beyond AI adoption to a full AI-driven restructuring of hospital systems.
The 2026 K-Digital Healthcare Summit explores this shift through two lenses: the strategy behind the ‘AI-Native Hospital,’ and ‘Physical AI,’ which brings AI beyond the hospital into physical space.

Introduction
SESSION 1 10:25 – 11:05
The Great Convergence: Where AI-Native Systems and Physical AI Rebuild the Hospital

Session Overview |”Beyond Diagnosis to Operations: AI Redesigning the Hospital”
Hospital AI is moving beyond diagnostic support to a new stage – redesigning how hospitals operate as a whole. This session explores the convergence of AI-native systems, powered by data, cloud, and agentic AI, with Physical AI, realized through robotics, intelligent medical devices, and automation infrastructure. Through real-world cases, it examines how clinical workflows, bed and test management, staff experience, and the patient journey are transforming and outlines the data, infrastructure, governance, and execution roadmap hospitals need to prepare now.

Session Overview |”Rehabilitation Robots: Crossing the Barrier of 64 Countries”
Fourier Rehab is a global manufacturer of rehabilitation robots for the upper limbs, lower limbs, balance, and movement. Since its founding, the company’s expansion into more than 64 countries has been less about business growth and more about answering a single question: can recovery itself be standardized through technology?

This session offers a concrete look at how robotics and AI make personalized rehabilitation care scalable for individual patients. Through real cases from Fourier Rehab, it explores why this technology is becoming the key to delivering world-class rehabilitation care not just at a handful of major medical centers, but in communities around the world.
