Insilicogen, a bioinformatics and artificial intelligence (AI) specialized company, announced on the 15th that it has been selected as a supplier company for the ‘2023 AI Voucher Support Project’ organized by the National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA).

The AI Voucher project is a policy-driven initiative aimed at accelerating the utilization and dissemination of AI across the industry, focusing on sectors closely related to citizens' daily lives and with significant economic ripple effects. The project supports demand companies that require AI by providing vouchers to purchase and utilize AI solutions from AI solution providers, thereby fostering AI companies and promoting digital transformation in related industries.

The demand institution for the AI Voucher support project won by Insilicogen is the Department of Pediatrics at Kosin University Gospel Hospital (Professor Minyoung Jeong’s team). Professor Jeong’s team has been conducting multi-year research on atopic dermatitis and food allergies in children with allergic diseases in collaboration with Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (Graduate School of AI, Professor Chi-Hyun Lim’s team) and Pusan National University (Department of Food and Nutrition, Professor Hyemi Kim’s team).

For nutritional management of children, personalized food and diet recommendations through continuous nutritional counseling are necessary. Accordingly, Insilicogen and its subsidiary D.E.E.P. (CEO Byungchul Kang) formed a consortium to utilize AI-based personalized digital food recommendation technology jointly developed by them.

Based on allergy test results and health questionnaire information provided by the AI demand institution, Insilicogen and D.E.E.P., as supplier companies, will offer customized food and diet services for children with allergic diseases through food recommendation AI and reinforcement learning technologies, utilizing their respective IncoRecom and iF Core DB.

Namwoo Choi, CEO of Insilicogen, said, “We hope that the AI Voucher support project will provide opportunities to offer differentiated customer-tailored services to many demand companies and that related AI technologies will expand to more industries.”
