We built the system we needed on the floor

Our story

  1. The floorOur founding members ran a day and night care center in Seoul (Seoul Day Care Center) used by about 80 older adults for five years.
  2. The problemVital signs were recorded every day, but the records only piled up. With paper logs and night rounds, it was hard to see what had changed since yesterday.
  3. Building itThere was no system we could use on the floor. So we built one for our own use.
  4. After handoverThe first facility to use our system still uses it. After we handed over the center in 2025, the new management kept using it under a paid contract, not free of charge.
  5. IncorporationWe incorporated in April 2025. We licensed public technology from Hanbat National University and registered as a research institute company in Daedeok Innopolis.
  6. Scaling upWe completed a PoC at 30 care facilities. With support from Daejeon Metropolitan City and Daejeon Technopark, we are now running a nationwide field validation in Korea.

Would the system still be used after the people who built it had left? That was the question we asked ourselves.
