As VNPT-IT works to bring Vietnamese technology capabilities to international markets, it is gradually expanding its network of technology companies and overseas partners, including those in South Korea. One of Asia's most advanced technology markets, South Korea offers particular potential in digital health, where VNPT-IT's digital capabilities can complement specialized technologies and the medical-device ecosystems of international partners.

Digital health: a core technology capability of VNPT-IT

As VNPT Group's principal information technology unit, VNPT-IT has developed an ecosystem of products, platforms and solutions for digital transformation across many sectors. Digital health is an important part of that strategy.

VNPT-IT's digital health capabilities bring together software, data, AI, cloud technology and systems integration to address healthcare management, operations and service delivery in a coordinated way.

Rather than digitizing individual processes in isolation, VNPT-IT aims to build platforms that connect and make use of data, laying the groundwork for a smart healthcare ecosystem. This would help healthcare providers improve management efficiency, streamline operations and deliver better care to patients over time.

VNPT's AI capabilities also broaden the ways technology can be applied in healthcare, through computer vision, natural language processing, speech processing, big-data analytics and multimodal AI. High-performance GPU infrastructure, cloud and hybrid cloud services support this technology ecosystem and provide a foundation for developing and deploying AI applications at scale.

Connecting digital technology with the medical-device ecosystem

As smart healthcare develops, the boundary between medical devices and digital platforms is narrowing. Data generated by devices can become a valuable input for management, analytics and decision-support systems.

This creates an opportunity for VNPT-IT to apply its strengths in digital technology alongside international companies with specialized expertise in medical devices and healthcare technology.

Building relationships with South Korean companies in this field gives VNPT-IT more opportunities to contribute its expertise in digital platforms, AI, data and systems integration, while learning from specialized technologies. The goal is to explore models that combine devices, data, software, AI and digital infrastructure.

This approach reflects VNPT-IT's development strategy: going beyond a standalone product or solution to gradually build a technology ecosystem that connects multiple components and adapts to diverse customer needs.

With its software-development capabilities, expertise in AI, data and cloud technology, and experience delivering digital solutions, VNPT-IT has a foundation for playing a larger role in international technology value chains. Digital health is a particularly promising field.

Building on platforms researched, developed and deployed in Vietnam, VNPT-IT is gradually extending its connections to international markets and seeking areas of technological overlap where partners can create new value together.
