Medical artificial intelligence (AI) company Lunit announced on the 20th that it signed an MOU for medical AI digital health innovation with ARJ Group, an integrated IT infrastructure and healthcare company in the UAE, at a corporate MOU signing ceremony hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT, which was held in conjunction with President Lee Jae-myung's state visit to the UAE. By participating in this event as a government-invited company, Lunit secured a foundation for cooperation in AI and advanced technologies in the Middle East.
Founded in 1997, ARJ Group is a company that provides integrated IT infrastructure and medical technology in the Middle East. It provides end-to-end solutions utilizing global technologies, optimized for the region. Through this collaboration, the two companies aim to pilot the "Medical Science-Specialized AI Foundation Model," currently under development as a government project, at hospitals and public healthcare institutions in the Middle East, including the UAE.
Furthermore, the two companies have agreed to pursue various collaborations to validate medical AI technologies and advance digital health, leveraging Lunit's AI technology and ARJ's local network and partnerships. ARJ Group has expanded its operations beyond the GCC countries to Europe and China, providing digital infrastructure and medical AI solutions to a wide range of sectors, including government agencies, public healthcare systems, and large hospitals. This partnership is expected to be a significant turning point in the global expansion of the Foundation Model.
