Health on Cloud and Kai Health, an AI infertility company, announced on the 11th that they have signed a partnership to support global business expansion for an AI embryo solution.

Leveraging Health on Cloud’s extensive network across regions such as the Middle East and South America, Kai Health plans to enter global markets with its AI-based technology that helps identify embryos with a higher likelihood of pregnancy.

Hyejun Lee, CEO of Kai Health, said, “Globally, one in six couples suffers from infertility, yet infertility treatment remains expensive and has a low success rate,” adding, “If we can improve success rates and reduce costs by using AI and data, more couples who want to have a baby will be able to build healthy families.”

Eok-soong Park, CEO of Health on Cloud, said, “Based on Health on Cloud’s global network, we will actively distribute Kai Health’s solution to many patients around the world who are suffering from infertility, and at the same time, we will work together to develop AI solutions that can help reduce healthcare disparities in maternal and child health—one of the biggest topics in global healthcare.”

Kai Health is described as the first company in Korea developing an AI solution aimed at improving success rates in infertility treatment. Using data from more than 20 hospitals in Korea and abroad, it developed an AI algorithm that helps identify embryos with a higher likelihood of pregnancy and obtained European medical device certification (CE). The article adds that CEO Hyejun Lee, an infertility-focused OB-GYN by training, believes healthy embryos are central to infertility treatment and is building solutions that support embryo creation, culture, and selection.

Health on Cloud is described as a cloud-based telemedicine and education venture founded to reduce gaps in healthcare capabilities across countries and provide convenient and reliable medical services beyond borders. The company has built a global Smart Hospital Alliance, led by participants from countries including Korea, the UK, Singapore, and the United States.
