Innovating Healthcare
Solutions and Services

We develop the best and the most innovative healthcare solutions.

Smartsound corporation has been working to secure key technologies (HSC™, instrument design, AI diagnosis) to diagnose diseases based on bio sound in the 12 years since its foundation in 2011. Since 2021, in cooperation with 12 of the nation's top university hospitals, it has begun collecting and analyzing clinical data on the sounds of the hearts and lungs of hospitalized/inpatient patients in the largest scale in the country. Through this, it has secured “AI diagnosis technologies and solutions” that can accurately diagnose and there are symptoms of lung disease(5 types) and heart disease(5 types), respectively, and focuses on certification of related medical care at home and abroad and secures intellectual property rights.
