K-Digital Healthcare Summit

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.

Session Overview ｜”The World’s First 3-in-1 Surgical Robot, Redefining Precision Surgery”
Edge Medical is only the second company in the world to have independently developed multi-port, single-port, and bronchoscopic surgical robots. Founded in Shenzhen, China in 2017, the company has since expanded into more than 25 countries. In 2024, it set a new milestone in surgical history by successfully completing a remote surgery spanning over 1,200 km.

This session examines the evolution of surgical robotics and emerging technology trends, and looks at the value next-generation robotic platforms create for surgeons, patients, and hospitals alike by improving precision, efficiency, accessibility, and the overall quality of surgical care.

Session Overview ｜In this session, Galbot will demonstrate how Physical AI is moving from lab demos to real 24/7 patient-facing operations.
Galbot, a leading China-based embodied-AI humanoid robotics company, will share three real-world deployments that show the practical maturity of Physical AI in healthcare settings:
First, China’s first 24-hour unmanned smart medical store, launched in late 2024. Each store holds 5,000+ SKUs with a single Galbot handling the full pick-and-pack workflow autonomously — now running stably for over a year.
In addition, deep clinical collaborations with top-tier hospitals, where Galbot supports ward assistance, pharmaceutical management, and intelligent guidance.
Together, these examples illustrate a near-term future in which humanoid robots are not demonstrators, but dependable on-shift co-workers across the hospital and pharmacy value chain.
