[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Bodyfriend announced on the 12th that it has signed a joint business agreement for healthcare services with LifeSemantics. Through this collaboration, the two companies plan to introduce a massage chair that systematically manages users' health by applying LifeSemantics' digital healthcare platform 'LifeRecord' to customer devices installed in Bodyfriend massage chairs.


LifeRecord is a cloud platform that securely stores and processes personal health data. It supports the collection and analysis of activity records and health measurement data gathered from massage chairs or wearable devices, medication and vaccination records, and medical records from various hospitals.


Bodyfriend plans to combine biometric signal measurement systems such as blood pressure, electrocardiogram, body temperature, and body composition applied to massage chairs with LifeRecord's health data collection and analysis system to provide users with personalized massage courses, nutrition, and exercise recommendations. The two companies will form a task force (TF) composed of experts in each field to begin technology development and commercialize products applying the service.



Park Sang-hyun, CEO of Bodyfriend, said, "Through this collaboration, we will accelerate the implementation of a non-face-to-face medical platform that allows users to easily monitor their health status daily through biometric signals at home and analyze the collected big data using artificial intelligence technology." He added, "By integrating our unique massage technology with IoT and AI technologies, we will evolve massage chairs into healthcare robots and realize a 10-year extension of human healthy lifespan."
