Naver D2SF (D2 Startup Factory) held the ‘Naver D2SF Media Meetup’ on the 17th and announced that it had made new investments in healthcare startups ‘Gazzy Lab’ and ‘Predictive’.
Gaji Lab is developing a personalized wellness platform, noting that despite the high interest in wellness and the large amount of information, it is difficult to find the solution ‘I need’. Through surveys, we plan to identify individual problems and provide optimal solutions and communities across wellness, including nutrition, exercise, sleep, and rest.
We are currently designing a survey system that can accurately identify an individual’s health status and needs, and will undergo MVP (Minimum Viable Product) testing in the second half of this year and launch an official product in 2023.
Predictive is a North American startup that has developed a solution to simulate the possibility of disease and drug sensitivity by creating a digital twin containing genome analysis information. Our long-term goal is to realize customized and preventive medical care using digital twins containing health information.
It has a competitive advantage in terms of analysis scope and accuracy, and is currently able to predict sensitivities to over 22,500 diseases and 780 drugs by analyzing over 20,000 genes using fingernail sampling. The product’s completeness is also excellent, and it recently successfully completed a beta test with medical staff in the United States, and is discussing business cooperation with companies and national organizations in the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates.
Yang Sang-hwan, leader of Naver D2SF, said, “The healthcare market is evolving into personalized medicine that takes into account the characteristics of each patient, daily health management, and preventative medicine through prediction.” He added, “The two new teams we invested in this time are based on expertise in wellness and genomics. “We expect to realize customized health care and even preventive medicine,” he said, expressing the purpose of the investment.
Meanwhile, Naver D2SF held the ‘Naver D2SF Media Meetup’ for the second time this year, where technology startups invested by D2SF directly presented their technological capabilities and showed demos. At the media meetup on this day, immersive technology startups ‘Gaudio Lab’ and ‘Gimotion’, which recently made additional investments following Gaji Lab and Predictive, introduced their future business growth plans and synergy results with Naver.
