The medical industry is undergoing many innovative changes with the introduction of big data technology, and the pace of these changes is expected to continue to increase. Previous approaches to care are responding quickly, and healthcare institutions and businesses need effective access and utilization of medical data to capitalize on new and potentially innovative trends in technology and analysis. Hence, this study aims to present the essential functions and operational direction of a medical big data intermediary platform. The goal is to apply the concept of intermediary platforms, which are utilized in various fields during the data economy era, to the medical big data industry. To achieve this, a survey was conducted among 102 medical companies nationwide to assess the necessity, expected value, essential elements, and future application services of the platform. The results were analyzed and summarized, leading to the proposal of fundamental components and operational plans for the medical big data intermediary platform. Based on the survey findings, this study highlights the need for a medical big data intermediary platform and emphasizes its conceptual importance as a fundamental component. Further research is required to explore the operation of the platform through pilot services based on the concept design in the future.
