Gwangju University Signs Technology Transfer Agreement for Nail Size Measurement Method and Data

Professor Kim Eun-sil's Beauty and Cosmetology Department Research Team - Startup Company Ello Agreement

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Professor Kim Eun-sil's research team from the Department of Beauty and Cosmetology at Gwangju University (President Kim Dong-jin) has signed a technology transfer agreement with the startup company Elllo for the technology of ‘Measurement Method and Data of Nail Sizes for Korean Women.’

The technology of ‘Measurement Method and Data of Nail Sizes for Korean Women’ has been shown to improve various problems caused by the inability to reflect individual consumers' nail shapes and sizes.

It is also a technology that overcomes the limitations of self nail tips and allows easy measurement of nail sizes through a smartphone application.

This technology is the result of the research ‘Standardization of Nail Sizes for Korean Women and Development of Nail Tips,’ currently being conducted by Professor Kim Eun-sil through the Korea Research Foundation’s Mid-career Researcher Support Project in the science and engineering field.

Professor Kim Eun-sil said, “As the age group of beauty-related consumers is gradually getting younger, building an ‘online platform’ that measures nail sizes using smartphones and provides customized nail tips is an essential technology,” adding, “We can expect the activation of the domestic and international self-nail market in the future.”

Han Soyoon, CEO of Elllo, stated, “Based on this technology, we plan to develop a standardization of nail sizes for East Asians and a size measurement app, and expand into overseas markets.”
