President Yoon Suk Yeol, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) of the Republic of Korea (Minister Oh Yu-Kyoung) recently met with Dr Robert M. Califf, Commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to discuss cooperation between the two organisations in the field of digital health and signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) to strengthen cooperation on medical products using artificial intelligence (AI).

The signing of the MoC is part of the strengthening of cooperation in the Korea-US high-tech alliance and supports the core and emerging technology cooperation agreed upon by the two leaders. It was also promoted as a follow-up to the meeting between Minister Oh Yu-Kyoung and Commissioner Robert Califf in March.

Building on the signing of this MoC, the two organisations will hold joint workshops to share experiences in using AI for medical product development with regulators from around the world and discuss how regulators can help advance the use of innovative technologies to deliver safe and effective medical products.
