AI- and data-driven healthcare company StellarCube announced that it has signed a USD 12 million investment agreement with global investment firm ACES for its AI pain management solution, the “PainX Project.”

StellarCube has, since the Private Biotech Summit held in Jersey City, New Jersey, in October last year, progressively specified its strategies with ACES based on strategic cooperation, including △ joint development of AI-based digital healthcare technologies △ expansion of the data ecosystem △ step-by-step elaboration of a North American market entry strategy. Following completion of the LOI (Letter of Intent) process, the two parties have now concluded this investment agreement.

This collaboration is also regarded as a representative case in which a network formed through “Bio Summit Matching Day,” an official linked program of the Korea-U.S. Bio Summit, has led to substantive business cooperation. The program was organized by KCED (Korea Culture & Economy Development) and served as a platform where bio and digital health companies, research institutions, and investment institutions from both countries participated to verify technological capabilities and business feasibility and to discuss mid- to long-term cooperation potential.

Through Matching Day, StellarCube has expanded its collaboration channels with research institutions, hospitals, and industry partners in the United States, building a virtuous cycle that connects technology validation, clinical linkage, and market entry.

The PainX Project, the target of this investment, is an AI solution that predicts and analyzes the likelihood of pain occurrence based on multimodal health data, including continuous biosignals, clinical data, and user behavior data. Through this project, StellarCube aims to enable a shift toward a prevention-centered medical paradigm, support clinical decision-making, automate patient monitoring, and establish data-driven treatment strategies for broad application in clinical settings.

The company’s core competitive advantages lie in △ AI-based predictive analytics technology △ bioinformatics data processing capability △ an integrated multimodal health data platform, which are evaluated as securing both technological scalability and commercialization potential in the digital healthcare field.

Noh Jin-seop, CEO of StellarCube, stated, “This PainX Project investment agreement is the result of simultaneous recognition of StellarCube’s technological competitiveness and global collaboration capabilities,” adding, “Based on AI-bio convergence technologies, the company will maximize the utilization value of medical data and, by combining global partnerships with R&D capabilities, will take the lead in driving structural innovation in the digital healthcare industry.”

The North American market is a key region where digital healthcare, AI medical analytics, and precision medicine data utilization are rapidly spreading, and it is seen as having high growth potential given that it provides an environment with strong synergy with StellarCube’s AI and data technology stack.

Using this PainX Project investment as a starting point, StellarCube plans to accelerate its leap forward as an AI-based digital healthcare platform company by pursuing global R&D collaboration, clinical validation, and commercialization strategies for the North American market in parallel.
