The COVID-19 pandemic has fueled a growing interest in non-face-to-face medical care, prompting numerous hospitals in South Korea to embark on the journey towards becoming smart hospitals. This study conducts a thorough examination of the concept of smart hospitals, evaluating their definition, the prevailing situation regarding these institutions in South Korea and globally, the core technologies integral to their functioning, and practical instances of their implementation. Additionally, the study engages in a discussion concerning the constraints of smart hospitals and delineates the paths for their future development. |
