Genion, Soulsoft, Gwangju Women’s University Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation, and Korea Micromedical Robotics Institute Healthcare Business Center have joined hands to collaborate on customized meal service.
Genion announced on the 31st that it recently held a four-party business agreement ceremony at the business lounge at its headquarters to develop the artificial intelligence (AI)-based healthcare industry and revitalize customized meal provision services.
The agreement aims to provide a personalized health management experience and improve the quality of customized diet services by combining Soulsoft’s AI-based diet recommendation service for diet and chronic disease prevention with Genion’s high-quality food manufacturing technology.
Genion manufactures eco-friendly organic baby food and is a food manufacturing company built on fresh ingredients and healthy recipes. As we expand and move to the HACCP factory, we will establish a baby food division and a convenience food division and expand our business area to a ‘customized meal delivery service’ for adult customers in line with the changes in the digital era.
Genion CEO Ryu Myeong-joo said, “Through the agreement, the customized diet that will be created by combining the cutting-edge AI technology and nutritional expertise of the ‘Jaeda’ app will have a meaning beyond simple meals,” adding, “We will pursue the values of customized nutrition, convenience, and health promotion.” “Putting it into one meal is the goal we pursue,” he said.
Soulsoft recommends customized diets based on the user’s health status and nutritional needs through the ‘Jaeda’ app, an AI-based health management integrated system. By introducing an AI health coaching service for the prevention and management of chronic diseases, we have already demonstrated a two-fold improvement in blood indicators by providing breakfast and dinner for two weeks to patients with obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and mild cognitive impairment. Clinical verification of fatty liver disease is in progress with Chonnam National University Hospital.
Youngrok Yoo, CEO of SoulSoft, predicted, “We will be able to significantly increase user satisfaction through AI precision nutrition coaching technology and delivery service of customized recommended diets.”
Kim Ji-hyun, head of the Department of Food and Nutrition (Food Contents) at Gwangju Women’s University, said, “This is a great opportunity to combine the research and development of food and nutrition with the consumption trend that favors convenience so that it can contribute to the health and happy lives of modern people.” Park Ki-won, director of the Korea Micromedical Robotics Institute’s Healthcare Business Center, expected that “more precise health management will be possible through the combination of the healthcare industry and AI-based meal service.”
Each company and institution is expected to create synergy effects based on expertise through the agreement and contribute to strengthening the competitiveness of the domestic healthcare industry and improving the quality of personalized health care services.
