The partnership between HUTECH and Medi Cherry Inc. opens new opportunities for technology-enhanced education
To put the MoU into practice, the two sides will exchange information on curricula and assessment methods, organize professional seminars, and conduct benchmarking studies. Based on these activities, suitable groups of students will be selected to participate in pilot programs and evaluate their effectiveness.
Nursing has been identified as a priority area for implementation, with plans to give students opportunities to explore, experience, and provide feedback on the digital learning platform. This process is expected to gradually introduce additional tools that support learning and professional competency development.
During the discussion on technological solutions, Mr. Jo Dae Hyung, CEO of Medi Cherry Inc., introduced MyMerci, a digital learning platform designed for health sciences students. Its Nursing content is organized into various topics, including Fundamentals of Nursing, Emergency and Critical Care, Pharmacology and Dosage Calculations, Maternal and Newborn Care, and Pediatrics. The platform integrates practice questions, explanations for correct and incorrect answers, instructional content, videos, reference materials, and performance analysis by topic. MyMerci AI also assists learners by explaining content, analyzing concepts, and providing research sources that allow them to verify information.
Mr. Jo Dae Hyung introduced MyMerci’s features designed to support learning and exam preparation
The accuracy of medical data was also a key consideration in the discussions. Information provided through the platform is intended to draw on universities, research studies, scientific reports, and traceable academic sources, helping ensure that the content can be verified and remains reliable.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thanh Hiep, M.D, Rector of the HUTECH School of Medicine and Health Sciences, emphasized the importance of preparing students early for evolving professional competency standards, particularly as Vietnam is expected to introduce a national nursing competency assessment in 2028. In this context, digital learning solutions featuring question banks, case-based exercises, detailed explanations, and scientific references are expected to provide students with additional tools for independent practice, knowledge reinforcement, and gradual familiarization with competency-based assessment methods.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thanh Hiep, M.D, discussed the need to standardize nursing competencies in a changing professional landscape
Discussing the practical implementation of the platform, Dr. Nguyen Phuong Tung, Dean of the Faculty of Nursing and Medical Technology, noted that it should be aligned with the curriculum, clinical settings, and healthcare practices in Vietnam. Direct experience and feedback from faculty members and students will provide a stronger basis for both sides to assess the platform’s accuracy and effectiveness and further refine the solution before expanding its implementation.
Dr. Nguyen Phuong Tung, RN, Pharmacist, emphasized the importance of user experience and feedback in further improving the platform
The partnership aims to better equip students with the knowledge and skills to confidently adapt to international professional environments
Looking ahead, Medi Cherry plans to develop content that supports students in preparing the knowledge needed to pursue professional opportunities in South Korea, Japan, the United States, and other international markets. This direction provides a further foundation for HUTECH and Medi Cherry to translate the MoU into concrete initiatives, connecting digital transformation in education with the development of students’ competencies for international professional integration.
