Centered on the theme "Future Paradigm Shifts in Healthcare and Nursing: AI, Robotics, and Geriatric Medicine," researchers from both universities showcased groundbreaking researches and engaged in vibrant discussions. The symposium aimed to enhance research, education, and healthcare standards at both institutions.
With 395 participants in attendance, the event featured lively exchanges on addressing the challenges of super-aging societies—an issue of shared importance for both countries. Discussions based on advanced examples from Japan and foreign countries, including Hallym University's strength in medical digital transformation using AI and robotics, as well as case studies from Nagoya City University.

Prior to the symposium, Nagoya City University Hospitals (Japan) and Hallym University Medical Center (Korea) signed an agreement to promote international collaboration and exchange in nursing. This agreement establishes a framework for mutual exchange, enabling nurses from both institutions to participate in short-term training programs.
The partnership aims to enhance the quality of medical care and nursing while fostering human resource development through practical and diverse initiatives. These include co-hosting specialized seminars, conducting site visits to local medical facilities, and organizing cultural exchange activities.
By leveraging Hallym University Medical Center’s advanced expertise in medical digital transformation, the collaboration is expected to not only improve nursing care and medical services at the affiliated hospitals but also address pressing issues in Japan, such as task shifting for nurses and work style reforms.
