Samsung Medical Center Adopts AI-Driven Neurostimulation Therapy
Seoul, Friday, 28 November 2025.
Samsung Medical Center in Seoul has implemented a personalized neurostimulation therapy system to enhance stroke patient care, underscoring Korea’s commitment to digital healthcare transformation.
Innovative Neurostimulation System Implementation
Samsung Medical Center’s integration of a personalized neurostimulation therapy system represents a milestone in the application of AI in healthcare. This system, developed by the stroke imaging AI company Neurophet, provides a non-invasive treatment option that applies targeted electrical stimulation to patients with stroke-induced motor impairments, particularly finger motor paralysis. The deployment of this system is a significant step forward following its designation as an innovative medical device in April 2025 [1].
Advancements in AI and Healthcare Training
The Samsung Medical Center’s initiative is part of a broader trend in South Korea towards integrating AI into medical practices. Asan Medical Center, another leading hospital, recently concluded a three-month training program involving 300 healthcare professionals. This program focused on introducing AI coursework and developing practical applications using hospital data, underscoring the national push for AI literacy in healthcare [2].
Impacts on Patient Care and Professional Training
The use of personalized neurostimulation therapies is expected to enhance patient care significantly, providing tailored treatment options that could lead to improved recovery outcomes for stroke patients. Moreover, the training of healthcare professionals in AI technologies is crucial for the successful implementation of these advanced systems. By educating staff in AI, hospitals can ensure that new technologies are effectively integrated into patient care processes [2].
Wider Implications for Healthcare Transformation
These developments highlight a broader digital transformation within Korea’s healthcare system, which aims to leverage AI for better health outcomes. The collaboration between medical institutions and technology companies, such as the partnership between Naver and the National Health Insurance Service to provide health data access, exemplifies this shift. Such collaborations are essential for enhancing public access to reliable health information and improving population health management [3].
