[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwanju] AI-based medical solution company BplusLab announced on the 12th that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with healthcare solution digital company SmartSound to establish a smart healthcare hub.

The two companies agreed to secure competitiveness in the telemedicine market and cooperate to discover and realize potential business opportunities. Specifically, they will promote ▲ the establishment of a healthcare hub using digital devices and platforms ▲ development of medical big data and algorithms ▲ joint participation in government-supported projects ▲ and other business cooperation related to matters derived through mutual agreement.

BplusLab launched the AI-based medical information service platform 'EodiApa' in 2018 and unveiled its AI medical questionnaire service. Recently, it has expanded its business areas by starting telemedicine and prescription dispensing and delivery services. SmartSound is a medical Internet of Things company that developed the smart stethoscope ‘Skeeper,’ optimized for telemedicine.

In particular, synergy effects are expected by utilizing the technologies of ‘EodiApa’ and ‘Skeeper.’ The two companies will work on building a healthcare hub environment and participate in developing chronic disease management projects through telemedicine that combines the smart stethoscope and AI medical questionnaire. They also plan to collaborate on advancing medical big data and algorithms.

Jung Hoonjae, CEO of BplusLab, said, “We are pleased to cooperate with SmartSound, which leads the telemedicine stethoscope medical field with technology recognized worldwide,” adding, “Since AI medical questionnaires and smart stethoscope technology are combined, we expect to provide detailed and accurate medical care remotely in the future.” Lee Manchan, CEO of SmartSound, said, “Through this MOU, the two companies have agreed to jointly participate in government-supported projects such as community-integrated care and early-life health management,” and added, “We will spare no effort not only to expand medical infrastructure but also to realize public value.”
