1. Introduction to patents under examination
a. Patent background
I see humans as having a body fit for running.
https://posturalscience.blogspot.com/2023/01/the-7-main-principles-of-posture.html
In addition, as human society changed from a walking or running activity-oriented society to a sitting-oriented society after the Industrial Revolution, people's muscle mass decreased, and the posture of looking down when sitting for a long time caused a large moment (force to rotate around one point). is leading daily life in a state where I see this as the root cause of all kinds of problems with people's spinal systems.

b. Principles of patent applications
I think that solving the two problems below can alleviate not only various degenerative diseases, but also aggression and depression, which are rapidly increasing due to the progress of a sedentary society due to prolonged sitting. So in November 2021 and May 2022, I applied for a patent that solves these two problems, respectively, and the screening is underway.
The first patent allows you to maintain a frontal or slightly upward gaze (see attached file below). As the person leans forward to take a closer look, the monitor moves closer to the person and eventually the person moves back. When a person leans back to see the entire monitor, the monitor moves away from the person, eventually causing the person to move forward.
The second patent allows the chair support to perform yawing or pitching movements at appropriate intervals so that the contraction and relaxation of related muscles are repeated.
2. Investment or collaboration
I plan to commercialize the above two patents. Please contact those who are willing to invest or collaborate in this regard!

“Healthcare and robots are the last barriers remaining… Surprisingly, there are so many SW startups out of 600 Korean participating companies” - Chosun Ilbo (chosun.com)
Healthcare seeking a breakthrough
- CES organizers picked human-centered technology as a key topic this year.
Seong-yoon Seon(Doctor of Materials Science and Engineering, Seoul National University): “It means that we should reconsider from what point of view we will approach when developing technology. For example, in automobiles, performance and safety were the top priorities in the past. But this time around, companies like Hyundai Mobis and Bosch have introduced products and technologies that focus on how to reduce stress for drivers and passengers in vehicles. The subject of concern for companies has become people, not cars. It is in a similar context that Samsung, LG, Amazon, and Google all emphasized the connection between all devices in the world. It is important to improve the performance of individual devices, but it has become more important to optimize them in consideration of the overall lives of people who use them.”
- The CES exhibition field is expanding to the extent of reaching 41 categories.
Gong Gyeong-cheol(Doctor of Mechanical Engineering, Berkeley University): “We need to throw away the idea that the core of CES is home appliances and TV. Furniture, cosmetics, and agricultural equipment companies, as well as the United States Postal Service (USPS) and insurance companies set up booths at CES. A new trend is that more and more companies are using CES to expand their markets. In fact, the exoskeleton robot from German Bionic Systems, which won the CES Best Innovation Award this year, was released five years ago. Originally sold for industrial safety, only the color was changed to prevent falls for the elderly. It was packaged with a new concept to enter the US market. It showed that it is not necessary to have a new technology or new product to attract attention at CES.”
- Participation of healthcare companies has increased noticeably.
Cheolhong Kim(Doctor of Medical Engineering, University of Washington): “The healthcare industry is at an important crossroads. Over the years, sophisticated and novel technologies have continued to emerge, but few products are still used in hospitals. For healthcare technology, such as wearable devices, to be applied to the medical field, it is impossible without doctors and hospitals. Healthcare without hospitals is not marketable. Healthcare continues to expand at CES, but few doctors visit the CES showroom. Whether healthcare becomes a real future industry ultimately depends on how much it can attract the medical community. Medicine and life sciences used to be separate fields, but no one distinguishes them anymore. Healthcare is a combination of medicine and engineering. When the two fields collaborate, the healthcare industry will become the largest industry in the global market.”
- 600 Korean companies participated.
Cheolhong Kim: “I was surprised by the number of software-based companies among Korean startups. It seems to be a thing of the past that Korea is only good at hardware and lagging behind in software. Foreign investors paid attention to companies such as Flask, which creates avatars with just a webcam without a separate sensor, and Lutten, which automatically creates business texts and images. In the end, it seems that the reason for Korea's rapid growth is that software is an area where innovation is more important than accumulation. As software-related departments are popular and attract excellent human resources, the competitiveness of Korean software startups is likely to be further strengthened.”
- Investment in startups is shrinking due to the economic downturn.
Gong Gyeong-cheol: “There are people who are concerned, but this is a cycle that has always existed, such as the dot-com bubble and the global financial crisis. The important thing is that companies that survive this time will eventually become big tech. It should be seen as a process of sowing seeds and covering boulders to make a big tree. Among the founders, it is said that ‘in short, it is a tragedy, but in the broader sense, it is a comedy’. However, it is clear that the mindset of starting a business two or three years ago when investment was active should be different from the mindset of starting a business now.”
☞Professor Seon Jeong-yoon (44)
He holds a Ph.D. in materials engineering from Seoul National University and is an authority in the field of materials and displays. He developed a transparent and stretchable touch panel, an artificial material system that grows on its own like a mushroom, and an artificial spider web that can lift 68 times its own weight. In April 2018, he was awarded the Science and Technology Award of the Month by the Ministry of Science and ICT.
☞Gong Gyeong-cheol (43) Professor
He received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. As an exoskeleton robot expert, he won the gold medal in the field of wearable robots at the International Rehabilitation Robot Olympics, ‘Cybathlon 2020’, beating competitors such as Switzerland and the United States. He founded Angel Robotics, a robot startup in 2017, and is developing robot services for hospitals and personal rehabilitation.
☞Professor Cheolhong Kim (45)
He is an expert in biomedical engineering and biomedical engineering who received his doctorate in medical engineering from the University of Washington in the United States. He developed an optical ultrasound medical imaging system, a next-generation diagnostic medical technology, and was awarded the Science and Technology of the Month in December 2021. He holds more than 40 domestic and foreign patents and founded Optico in 2018, a startup that makes high-speed and high-resolution microscopes.
