Medical equipment industry is increasingly complex and diversified into a wide range of products, and has highly impacted on government health care policies and management systems. It also has been limited demands for health care institutions, and requires continuous investment in R&D (Seo,Gun-seok, 2016). Purchase of medical equipment at health care institutions has been done through decision-making processes of various stakeholders in hospital, such as the users, the purchasing department, and CEO. The users request the purchase of new medical equipment based on their needs and while the purchasing department coordinates and consults the various opinions to make final purchases through bids or private contracts. The users will then play a leading role in the adoption of medical equipment to explore potential suppliers and make decisions on eligibility requirements (Yoo,Jin-dong, 2008). In other words, medical equipment with optimal specifications should be selected by collecting various information considering many aspects of medical equipment purchase requests and analyzing their purchase plans in such a way as demonstration assessment or market survey. 

Realistically, however, there are limited and simple to medical device information retrieval activity for purchasing plans. In the case of professional medical equipment, the distribution infrastructure for online shopping is not well established, so obtaining primary information is to share the opinions of salespeople and users in other hospitals. Consumers who need medical equipment are not the experts of purchasing administration, therefore, they have been difficult to choosing because of the asymmetry of information. 

In this study, a website was created for analyzing prior research datas and comparing and retrieving medical equipment information at a glance based on public data provided by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and Health Insurance Review and Assessment. Throughout the expert’s advices, the useful information of equipment is provided, and upload medical equipment information by utilizing data from public and manufacturers. In addition, it shares user bulletin board. 

This Capstone tried to mitigate the problem of information asymmetry between consumers and suppliers through its website to make the most of the information consumers need. Desired use of medical equipment require an environment in which medical equipment users or end consumers can make reasonable choices. To do so, the government needs to act as an intermediary for consumers and suppliers while also providing support for ongoing management and development of websites. If the medical equipment information searching site is continuously activated through government support, it is expected that fair competition of medical equipment , online marketing. Consumers will be possibly search diverse and active information and medical device industry will be managing to open and be clear through complex distribution structure improvement.
