Senaclesoft co-CEOs Wi Eui-seok, Park Chan-hee tapped to lead new organization
Naver will set up a dedicated organization to expand its digital healthcare project, a business it is banking on as a future growth driver.
Naver plans to launch the new digital healthcare unit next month under its tech business division, industry sources said Tuesday. Placing the unit under the tech business division is intended to speed up its integration with the company's existing technology infrastructure.
Wi Eui-seok and Park Chan-hee, co-CEOs of Senaclesoft, a startup specializing in cloud-based electronic medical record systems that Naver acquired last year, have been tapped to lead the new organization. The two executives are said to still be working out the unit's specific name and job titles.
"This is meant to help Senaclesoft's expertise in healthcare create synergy with Naver's services and technology, allowing the business to grow even bigger," Naver said.
Meanwhile, Naver has been partnering with a range of companies to build up its digital healthcare capabilities. Last year, it invested in InBody, a global healthcare company. InBody provides body composition analysis services in 110 countries, backed by 13 overseas subsidiaries in the United States, Japan, Europe and elsewhere.
