Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked

Kakao Healthcare

Application

PASTAApplication

PASTA (파스타) is Kakao Healthcare's consumer AI health-management app for blood-glucose and weight management, pairing with Dexcom G7 and i-SENS CareSens Air continuous glucose monitors. The vendor calls it an 'AI 건강관리 플랫폼' (AI health-management platform) and names four AI features: 푸드샷 food recognition from meal photos, 파스타 렌즈 image analysis that reads glucose-meter screens and body-composition printouts, AI voice logging, and an AI chatbot. It is sold in Korea and is explicitly not a medical device.

Data service

HAYCORNData service

HAYCORN (헤이콘) is Kakao Healthcare's real-world clinical data research portal for researchers and pharmaceutical companies, offering Data Snapshot, Curated DB Catalog, RWE Project and Report modules across ten disease areas drawn from partner hospitals' EMRs. The vendor states it applies large language models to extract and classify key information from medical records and refine it into analysable data. Patient data is never pooled: only de-identified metadata and analysis results produced inside each hospital's secure environment leave the hospital.
