Sleep lifestyle brand company GD Corporation Co., Ltd. (CEO Kim Jung-sung) announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Daegu Health College to promote smart healthcare business and build related infrastructure in connection with the “Glocal 30” project.

At the signing ceremony, key healthcare figures attended alongside GD Corporation officials, including Daegu Health College Executive Vice President Kim Young-joon, Department of Physical Therapy Chair Professor Han Jong-man, and Department of Optometry Chair Professor Jang Woo-young, to discuss in detail ways to integrate sleep tech with the college’s specialized healthcare infrastructure.

The agreement was prepared to identify new business opportunities that can generate tangible mutual benefits by combining the college’s specialized healthcare infrastructure with the company’s innovative technologies. Going forward, in conjunction with the promotion of the “Glocal 30” project, the two institutions will discuss concrete implementation plans for establishing a large-scale sleep biometric data hub and living lab, and will closely cooperate to select joint research projects and secure related budgets.

Key areas of cooperation include: △ building a verification infrastructure for a sleep life-care platform within the college △ joint research on deep learning analysis models based on healthcare data △ joint identification of government-supported national projects and R&D initiatives △ mutual collaboration to expand healthcare services in the local community.

Through this agreement, GD Corporation plans to establish a test-bed environment that will enable large-scale collection of real user data and, through joint research with specialized departments such as the Department of Physical Therapy, further strengthen the scientific credibility of its sleep tech solutions. This is regarded as an expansion of its strategic tech alliance following MOUs with local governments and bio companies.

GD Corporation is a lifestyle company that operates the sleep lifestyle specialty brands “Zero O’Clock,” “Hugram,” and “Husi,” and has been expanding its business domain into the sleep tech market since 2024.

GD Corporation CEO Kim Jung-sung stated, “The collaboration with Daegu Health College is an important first step for sleep tech to become established as practical healthcare infrastructure,” adding, “By combining the expertise of both institutions, we will do our utmost to achieve tangible results in securing national projects and establishing next-generation healthcare standard models.”
