Naver introduced a medical large language model developed with Seoul National University Hospital.

Naver and the hospital announced the medical LLM Kmed.ai at the Medical AGI event on Nov. 28 at the hospital in Seoul. Naver Chairman Lee Hae-jin and CEO Choi Soo-yeon attended. Vice Minister for Science and Technology Bae Kyung-hoon, Second Vice Minister of Health and Welfare Lee Hyoung-hoon and Hospital Director Kim Young-tae also attended.

Kmed.ai is a Korean-language medical LLM developed by Naver with the hospital. It trained on SNUH ClinicalQA, Korean medical law and various departmental guidelines. The two sides said active feedback from hospital staff helped the model understand the context of Korean medical practice and made it a successful case of medical sovereign AI. It scored 96.4 points on the 2025 medical licensing exam.

Naver also developed a medical agent platform to help hospital staff improve work efficiency with AI. It expects the platform to support tasks from document drafting to diagnostic assistance. It plans to add more functions to improve safety and accuracy.

Naver Chairman Lee said the medical LLM developed with the hospital will protect important data that must be safe and accurate for medical staff, patients and institutions. He said he hopes it becomes a successful case of medical sovereign AI that understands Korean medical practice, clinical settings and medical law.

Seoul National University Hospital Director Kim said medical AI is a national strategic technology. He said the achievement marks a first step and an important milestone in building Korean medical sovereign AI. He said the hospital will accelerate its transition to an AI-based intelligent hospital to improve patient safety and service quality and contribute to strengthening domestic medical AI competitiveness and global expansion.
