Naver Invests in Digital Health and Blockchain Game Startups

[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] Naver's startup incubation organization D2SF announced on the 6th that it has invested in two companies related to digital health and blockchain.

The investment targets are electronic medical record (EMR) company 'HDJunction' and blockchain-based game engine developer 'Nine Corporation.' Naver explained, "These companies have established an innovative foundation that allows users in each industry to reproduce data or content."

HDJunction developed 'TrueDoc,' an EMR platform compatible with various digital health solutions such as artificial intelligence (AI) diagnostics. Existing EMRs were isolated on independent servers within hospitals, making external integration difficult and even challenging for medical professionals to use. TrueDoc is a seamless platform linking inside and outside the hospital, increasing data utilization and enabling high-quality medical services. TrueDoc is scheduled for official release in the first half of this year.

Nine Corporation is a company that developed the game engine 'LipPlanet' using blockchain technology. It does not require a central server and allows complex forms of massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) to be operated as open source, providing a foundation for users to directly participate in content creation.

Yang Sanghwan, leader of Naver D2SF, said, "Both companies are laying the groundwork for the expansion of the ecosystems in their respective industries," adding, "HDJunction is becoming a platform that facilitates the smooth flow of medical data and enables the reproduction of high-quality medical services, while Nine Corporation is growing as a team leading innovation in the game content ecosystem."

Naver D2SF has strategically invested in a total of 59 technology startups so far and plans to further strengthen synergy between Naver and startups this year.
