The core of this collaboration is the combination of Kakao Healthcare's AI-based smart blood sugar management solution, Pasta, and Ourhome's personalized health meal subscription service, Callis Lab.

Both parties expect that by combining these blood sugar management technologies and meal planning for chronic disease management, they will be able to offer sophisticated personalized health management services.
Hwang Hee, CEO of Kakao Healthcare, said, “As the importance of nutrition grows globally, we are pleased to have a meaningful collaboration opportunity with Ourhome, which possesses the best nutrition-related expertise in Korea. We will introduce an innovative hyper-personalized healthcare solution utilizing Pasta's AI blood sugar management technology.”
