J&J Tech (CEO Cho Sung-hoon), which operates the pharmacist and pharmacy management application "Pharmaceutical Manager," announced that it has obtained "social venture company" certification from the Ministry of SMEs and Startups.
Social venture company certification is a system given to companies that create social and economic values at the same time. Companies that solve social problems through innovative technologies or business models and contribute to the local community can be acquired only when sociality and innovative growth are recognized by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups.
The Technology Guarantee Fund, which is in charge of the review, evaluates sociality and innovation growth into 12 items each and grants certification. Certified companies can receive opportunities and financial benefits to participate in various government-supported projects, and are expected to have a positive impact on attracting external investment and expanding partnerships.
Through this certification, drug managers have been officially recognized as a company that contributes to social problem solving and public interest development through technological innovation of the 'drug inspection department function'. With this opportunity, it is expected to further strengthen its position as a social value creation company in pharmacies and hospitals.
40,000 sign up for pharmacy management innovation... Increase AI-based efficiency
Since the official launch of the service in March 2023, the drug manager has been growing rapidly, exceeding 40,000 subscribers. This service utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) technology to improve the inefficiency of drug management and provide a variety of functions to support more efficient pharmacy operations.
In particular, the drug manager supports pharmacists and industry workers to focus on patient health counseling and disease management, which aims to promote public health and create sustainable social value. Last year, it also drew attention as a representative use case for public data medical products selected by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.
CEO Cho Sung-hoon said, "The drug manager will provide an optimized solution for drug management in pharmacies so that pharmacists can focus more on patient counseling and medication guidance," adding, "We will contribute to promoting public health and creating sustainable social value."
