- Medical platform that converges Cloud, AI, and 3D
bioprinting expected to dramatically improve treatment rate and
medical access.
SEOUL,
South Korea, Aug. 12,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ROKIT Healthcare, a company
specializing in bio-healthcare, today announced it will provide a
hyper-personalized medical platform that uses 3D bioprinting and AI
technology built on Google Cloud, to innovate the treatment of
osteoarthritis and diabetes feet (diabetic foot lesion ulcer).
ROKIT Healthcare's AI solution accurately recognizes the affected
area of the patient, using computer vision and deep-learning
technology, and then outputs a patch with the same size and shape
as the affected area to a 3D printer. The goal for this platform is
to increase the treatment rate for chronic and complex diseases,
improve access to medically underprivileged areas, and lower
medical expenses.
ROKIT Healthcare moved its existing infrastructure to Google
Cloud and used Google Cloud's AI tools to expand its medical
platform and other solutions. ROKIT Healthcare has established a
system that can reliably expand and operate medical platforms in
various regions using Google Cloud's scalable, high-performance
load-balancing service Cloud Load Balancing and Google Kubernetes
Engine (GKE), which provide a fully managed Kubernetes service.
The efficient Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) environment is
another reason why ROKIT Healthcare chose Google Cloud. ROKIT
Healthcare can now more quickly build, deploy, and scale
machine-learning models by using Google Cloud's integrated AI
platform, Vertex AI, and serverless multi-cloud data warehouse,
BigQuery. In addition, ROKIT Healthcare strengthened the security
of its medical platform by introducing Google Cloud's network
security solution Cloud Armor, which protects applications and
services from distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks using
machine-learning technology. Moreover, it deployed VPC Service
Control, a managed networking functionality for Google Cloud
resources, to mitigate the risk of data exfiltration by allowing
only authorized networks to access sensitive information.
Currently, ROKIT Healthcare has signed 10-year contracts with
its customers worth about KRW 2.5
trillion in 20 countries around the world, increasing the
number of countries in which it operates, such as Dubai in 2021 and Brazil, Malaysia, and India in the first half of 2022. The company
is already in the process of treating patients through cloud-based
telemedicine in countries that it has entered and plans to further
advance and expand in the global market.
Andrew Chang, Managing Director
of Google Cloud Korea, said, "This cooperation with ROKIT is very
meaningful in that the company will be able to provide innovative
treatment solutions for chronic diseases that have not previously
been treated sufficiently. I'm pleased that we can help increase
the reliability and scalability of ROKIT Healthcare's medical
platform with Google Cloud solutions, including Vertex AI."
You Seok-hwan, CEO of ROKIT Healthcare, said, "We are confident
that ROKIT Healthcare has introduced a leading system in the field
of personalized regeneration including skin and cartilage. Through
this cooperation with Google Cloud, ROKIT Healthcare expects to
realize its vision to transform the medical paradigm more quickly.
ROKIT Healthcare will build a medical platform that can tap the
collective intelligence of doctors all over the world and quickly
spread solutions that can cure disease in a short time at a low
cost."
