About CuriousMD
Hello, I’m Joonpyo Hong.
I’m a board-certified otolaryngologist in South Korea,
and CuriousMD is where I write about what happens when ENT
medicine meets artificial intelligence or cutting edge technologies.
Why I Started This Blog
Somewhere between clinic hours and reading the latest research,
I started noticing something: AI was quietly reshaping parts of
medicine that most ENT specialists weren’t talking about yet.
AI-assisted diagnosis. Machine learning. Large
language models being used — and sometimes misused — for
medical advice.
I wanted a space to think through these changes out loud,
and share what I was learning along the way.
What I Write About
My writing focuses on three areas:
- ENT × AI — How artificial intelligence is being applied
to ear, nose, and throat medicine. The research, the tools,
and the clinical reality. - ENT Insights — Clinical pearls, patient education, and
common misconceptions about otolaryngology. - Tech & Medicine — Broader medtech trends that matter for
ENT: telemedicine, wearables, digital health.. etc.
A Note on This Blog
CuriousMD is a personal blog. The content here is for
informational purposes and does not replace individual medical
consultation. Anything I share is based on peer-reviewed
evidence, clinical experience, or clearly labeled opinion.
If you’re a patient with specific concerns, please see your
own doctor.
