An IoT smart scale capable of measuring feeding volume, frequency, and cycle, as well as temperature and humidity, and a linked parenting app are planned for commercialization within the year.

KTH (CEO Oh Se-young) has signed an MOU with Carecamp (CEO Kim Chang-hyun, Jo Seon-hye), a specialized medical distribution company, for 'IoT smart scale distribution' and will begin developing IoT smart scales for infants and toddlers.

This smart scale, which allows you to easily manage feeding information, temperature and humidity measurements for infants and toddlers, is equipped with menus for feeding, baby food, diapers, and sleep. For example, simply placing a bottle on the smart scale before or after feeding automatically records feeding information, including the amount, frequency, and frequency of feedings, via a Bluetooth module in the parenting mobile app. It also measures the temperature and humidity of the surrounding environment and has a nursing light function with three levels of brightness to help make parenting much easier.

In addition, the mobile parenting app allows users to easily manage not only breastfeeding but also bowel movements, sleep, growth, vaccinations, etc., eliminating the hassle of manually filling out records. It is also expected to be convenient for those who have difficulty raising children, such as working moms, as they can check their child's breastfeeding history remotely.

On the 24th, KTH signed an MOU with Carecamp, the number one medical supplies distributor targeting large general hospitals in Korea, and plans to commercialize and boost sales of IoT smart scale products and related services currently under development within the year through online and offline distribution sales channels, including the sales line of Braun Thermometer, the number one thermometer market share company.

Furthermore, starting with the IoT smart scale, the company plans to expand its lineup of IoT products for infants and toddlers, expanding its business scope as an IoT specialist in the rapidly growing Angel Industry in Korea. The scale can also be used for diet menu management and as a cooking scale, ensuring long-term utility.

The angel industry is a market that emerged in response to the recent social phenomenon of high-end, differentiated child-rearing activities due to the increase in single-child households due to low birth rates. It is a general term for an industry that targets infants and children under the age of 14 as its main customers. To provide convenience to the angel industry, which is expanding into various fields such as education, culture, medicine, food, and beauty, there is a global trend of integrating services with the Internet of Things (IoT).

KTH CEO Oh Se-young said, “With this MOU, we will successfully launch and strengthen the distribution of IoT smart scales and expand our business area to IoT products for infants in the future.” He added, “As the introduction of IoT in the domestic infant product market is gradually becoming more active and the premium angel industry is expanding, we expect that smart parenting products such as IoT smart scales will receive a good response.”
