Korea International Medical & Hospital Equipment Show (KIMES 2016) was held at COEX in Seoul.

This program aim to contribute toward healthcare improvement by exploring the development prospect
of the medical industry in terms of medical information and technology. In the fast growing medical
market, we need to keep up with the latest medical technology to maintain the healthcare service
quality given to the patients. The main theme is better healthcare toward leading technology.
KIMES 2016 is organized by KOREA E&EX INC., KMDICA (Korea Medical Devices Industrial
Cooperative), KMDIA (Korea Medical Devices Industry Association), and sponsored by MOTIE, Ministry
of Health & Welfare, MFDS, Seoul Metropolitan Government, KOTRA, Korea Health Industry
Development Institute, Korea Medical Association, Korean Hospital Association, Korean Medical
Women's Association, Korean Medical Women's Association, Korean Nurses Association, KOMEDIA
and Digital Bosa.
Korea is opening their medical market by cooperating with 37 countries in KIMES 2016. Below are the
top 5 exhibitors countries and theme classifications in KIMES 2016.

Korea - 548
China - 139

There are a lot of medical technologies displayed in this show, below are some medical technologies
that are interesting:
1. Anatomage Table

The Anatomage Table is the most technologically advanced anatomy visualization system. The
operating table is a combination of unique hardware and software, it resembles an operating table or
hospital bed and the real patient contents perfectly illustrate the anatomical realism of a living human.
The input data for this table are from real patient scans or cadavers, so it is highly accurate and can
display true human gross anatomy in real life size. With powerful radiology workstation features, it can
be used for radiology, surgery case review, patient consultation, and research purposes as well as
anatomy education. It can also combine with the the 3D printer technology to create real example
models. With the segmentation features, each system or anatomical structure can be separated and
reviewed individually. This technology can work using any medical imaging data and provides high
quality interactive 3D renderings. The software is called Invivo and has FDA approval for clinical
operations.
2. Imaging Equipment
The most impressive technology that is the medical imaging quality, it increases it quality a lot
compare to the first time medical imaging introduced. Some also contains the software to process the
image and also have therapy software to help treat the patients using the image information.

ECUBE offers various types of ultrasound imaging system with high quality image, system,
fast and transducers for an extensive range of applications (general imaging, womens health,
musculoskeletal, cardiac imaging).

Phion-NFR (Dedicated Mobile Cone-Beam CT)

This medical imaging system design is really compact and with excellent dimension for better
mobility. It also have the good quality of image and visualization of bone and joint
morphology. Medical team also can share the medical data / documents through the internet
easily using this machine. Considering this machine dimension and capability, it is
appropriate for Orthopedics, ENT, Sport Medicine, Emergency and maybe Military.

This is personal healthcare service which can be access through the apps to help people to gain
balance lifestyle by monitoring their health with specialized work-out guidance based on their personal
body composition, weight and other biometric data.
There are a lot of others medical technology been displayed in this exhibitions, which is really helpful
for doctors and also researcher to stay update with the recent technology and understand the
expectations for the medical technology in the future. In general the medical technology development
is head towards compact, smart and tele-operation with high resolution visualization and easy to
operate.
