Abstract

By facing the era of the 4th industrial revolution, personalized medical services for patients are expanding with the development of information and communications technology. With these changes, digital medical devices have begun to be used to support diagnosis, patient monitoring, and decision-making of diseases, and recently software medical devices for the purpose of preventing, managing, or treating disorders or diseases have become popular. The aim of this article is to understand the current concept and status of Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), which are actively being carried out in the United States, and to find out what fields can be applied in the future. In addition, it intends to find out the Korean domestic policy trends related to smart healthcare and find out the application of digital software as a medical devices that can be used in dental clinic to keep pace with the upcoming changes in the medical field.

현대사회는 4차 산업혁명 시대를 맞아 정보통신기술의 발달로 환자 개인 맞춤 의료서비스가 확대되고있다. 이러한 변화에 따라 질병의 진단, 환자 감시, 의사결정 지원에 디지털 의료기기가 활용되기 시작했으며 최근엔 장애나 질병예방, 관리 또는 치료하기 위한 목적의 소프트웨어 의료기기가 각광받고 있다. 본 종설은 현재 미국을 중심으로 활발하게 이뤄지고 있는 치료 목적의 소프트웨어에 대한 개념과 현황을 파악하고 앞으로 어떤 분야에서 적용될 수 있는지 알아보고자 한다. 또, 스마트 헬스케어와 관련된 국내 정책 동향을 파악해 다가올 의료계의 변화에 발맞춰 치과 임상에서 가능한 디지털기반 소프트웨어 의료기기의 적용에 대해 알아보고자 한다.
