Healcerion, founded in 2012 by Dr. Benjamin Jeongwon Ryu, a medical doctor and former astronaut candidate, is a South Korean company that has developed a portable ultrasound device, the SONON.
Dr. Ryu's background in medicine and his experience in technology, including founding a company called Digigen in 2001, led him to create Healcerion. The company aims to make medical imaging more accessible and affordable, particularly in remote or underserved areas.
Healcerion's main product, the SONON, is a handheld, wireless ultrasound scanner that connects to a smartphone or tablet. This allows for a high degree of portability and flexibility, enabling healthcare professionals to perform ultrasounds at the point of care. The device is designed for various medical applications, including abdominal, gynecological, and musculoskeletal imaging. The company offers different models, such as the SONON 300C, which is specialized for abdominal and gynecological diagnoses.
The company's business model is based on the sale of these portable ultrasound devices to a wide range of clients, including hospitals, clinics, and individual physicians. By providing a more affordable and convenient alternative to traditional ultrasound machines, Healcerion is positioned to serve a growing demand for mobile health (mHealth) solutions.
