[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] KGC Ginseng Corporation is entering the personalized healthcare business.

KGC Ginseng Corporation announced on the 20th that it will launch 'CareNow 3.0,' a digital healthcare application service that provides customized health solutions.

CareNow 3.0 precisely analyzes users' health checkup data, health surveys, direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic analysis, and life logs based on big data and artificial intelligence (AI). It offers personalized health functional food recommendations as well as dietary and exercise guidance. KGC Ginseng Corporation developed a health survey that can analyze users' health status from multiple angles and applied it to CareNow 3.0. The health survey has been recognized for its clinical evidence, having been published in the latest issue of the KCI academic journal 'Journal of the Korean Society for Clinical Health Promotion.'

Additionally, the company collected 27.3 million food-bio big data records from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, and developed a curation algorithm capable of precisely analyzing the relationships among diseases, metabolism, food, and nutrients. It is also linked with an AI prediction solution that forecasts the risk of major diseases, measuring the four-year risk of onset for 10 diseases, including lifestyle-related diseases and six major cancers. Customers can receive a free health checkup and disease-specific risk analysis worth 25,000 KRW derived from the curation algorithm, and can also access genetic analysis covering the largest number of 69 items in Korea at a special launch discount.

Moreover, through the 'Balance Check' feature, users can manage nutrient excess or deficiency, and by participating in events such as the 'Health Knowledge OX Quiz' and 'One-line Small but Certain Happiness' event, they can earn points redeemable at Jeonggwanjang stores and online malls.

KGC Ginseng Corporation aims to pioneer the era of hyper-personalization in the digital healthcare market by leveraging differentiated health tech based on clinical verification and advanced big data.

Hong Soon-ki, Head of Digital Business at KGC Ginseng Corporation, stated, "Combining KGC Ginseng Corporation’s know-how, which has been responsible for public health for over 120 years, with the expertise of Korea’s leading health professionals, we plan to provide differentiated health management services. Moving forward, we will further enhance our curation services to diversify health solutions and lead the healthcare market by linking with the development of new functional materials and health functional foods."
