Kakao Healthcare and Providence Healthcare Ventures Sign a Strategic Business Agreement...Building a Global Partnership



Kakao Healthcare and Canada-based healthcare platform company and startup accelerator 'Providence Healthcare Ventures' signed a strategic business agreement at the '2025 Global Privacy Assembly (GPA)' held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Seoul on the 15th. This is to build an integrated healthcare solution based on privacy and AI technology cooperation, and to advance into the global market through this. Shin Soo-yong, managing director of Kakao Healthcare, and Soyeon Kim Providence Healthcare Ventures attended the business agreement ceremony.

Through this collaboration, we will research and develop an integrated solution that combines Kakao Healthcare's healthcare data search portal 'Hacorn' and Healthcare Data Research Suite (HRS) with Providence Healthcare Ventures' metadata management solution 'IHID (Integrated Health Informatics Datalab)'.

The integrated solution to be developed by the two companies will apply the 'Eyes Off' data strategy, which uses Kakao Healthcare's Privacy Enhancement Technologies (PETs) to learn a distributed model without sharing sensitive information. In addition, the data increases connectivity by utilizing protocols that apply global standards and interoperability standards.




Based on a competitive integrated solution, the two companies plan to contribute to global expansion and the development of the healthcare ecosystem between the two countries. The solution is expected to be a win-win model that provides high-quality healthcare data services to global companies and venture companies such as life science and pharmaceutical bio in both countries. In addition, Kakao Healthcare is expected to become a bridgehead to enter the North American market, including Canada, and expand its global partners.

"We are excited to partner with Kakao Healthcare, a leading digital healthcare company. We will advance Providence Healthcare Ventures' platform strategy and establish ourselves as a more trusted global partner in healthcare AI," said Soyeon Kim Providence Healthcare Ventures Director.

Shin Soo-yong, managing director of Kakao Healthcare, said "With this cooperation, we plan to advance Kakao Healthcare's healthcare data analysis solution to accelerate its entry into global markets, including North America."
