Bodyfriend Registers Patent for Technology Focusing on Yongchunhyeol Acupressure

Interlinked Movements of Acupressure Rod and Pressure Element

Bodyfriend announced on May 26 that it has registered a patent for a technology that focuses on acupressure of the soles of the feet and the concave Yongchunhyeol area in the center of the foot.

The patent is named "Foot Massage Device Patent" and will be applied to various healthcare robot lines in the future. The principle involves an acupressure rod that moves vertically in a linear reciprocating motion, working in conjunction with a pressure element that moves up and down in a back-and-forth motion, allowing precise and effective acupressure of the Yongchunhyeol area. Unlike simple acupressure, the rotational acupressure method provides a more refreshing massage experience. In addition, by enabling focused massage on the Yongchunhyeol, which is known to help relieve fatigue and improve basic physical strength, the device is also expected to have an energy-recharging effect on the human body.

A Bodyfriend representative stated, "We will continue to develop patented technologies that combine both Eastern and Western medicine, including this foot massage device patent, to fulfill our mission of extending our customers' healthy lifespans by 10 years."

Meanwhile, Bodyfriend is developing innovative technologies under the leadership of its affiliated research institute, the Healthcare Medical R&D Center. As a result of these research and development efforts, as of last month, Bodyfriend has filed a total of 2,058 domestic and international patents, utility models, and design registrations, of which 995 have been officially registered and are currently held.
