Channel Healthcare (CEO Kim Jin-cheon) participated in ‘MEDI EXPO KOREA 6’ held at EXCO in Daegu for 30 days from Friday, June 7th to Sunday, July 2nd.
Channel Healthcare is a company founded in 2020 by experts in computer systems, artificial intelligence (AI) data science, and healthcare. Those who have accumulated research and development experience to provide innovative management services specialized for type 2 diabetes patients have announced plans to expand the AI-based digital twin platform by expanding the scope of management, starting with diabetes, to diseases for which there is no fundamental treatment.
At this exhibition, Channel Healthcare recruited beta test participants for ‘Diabetes 6.5’, which is currently under development, at the Daegu Medi Expo Diabetes Special Hall (hosted by the Korea Diabetes Association).
Diabetes 6.5 is an artificial intelligence-based blood sugar management application (app) for diabetic patients and is a platform that can be used with a continuous blood glucose monitor. Channel Healthcare explains that through this, users can see at a glance changes in blood sugar levels according to lifestyle habits such as diet, exercise, and medication. They can also communicate with other diabetes patients and create their own blood sugar management friends.
The final selected applicants will receive a one-month Diabetes 6.5 service voucher and one continuous blood sugar monitor free of charge. At the end of the one-month testing period, participants will complete a survey and submit the benefits and improvements they felt while using Diabetes 1.
Kim Jin-cheon, CEO of Channel Healthcare, said, “Diabetes 6.5 started with the intention of creating a service to help manage diseases like diabetes, which have no fundamental cure and where daily lifestyle habits are important,” and added, “Diabetes 6.5 was held at the diabetes special hall opened by the Korea Diabetes Association. “I think it is a meaningful start to be able to present for the first time.”
