유니메오

유니메오 (UNIMEWO, from "Union Medical World") is a Seoul-based company founded in April 2017 that operates in medical ICT and healthcare. Its main service is 좋은케어 (Gooodcare), described as Korea's first O2O caregiver (간병인) matching platform, which connects patients and their families with caregivers and is complemented by 좋은상담, a non-face-to-face psychological counselling service launched in February 2021, and senior-focused e-commerce offerings. The company positions 좋은케어 around directly contracted, exclusive caregivers (전속 간병보호사) rather than open marketplace labour, combined with hospital partnerships and technology intended to reduce information asymmetry between patients, families and caregivers.

Before concentrating on senior care, the company worked across several ICT lines: VR/AR content for cognitive and psychological rehabilitation (2017-2018), medical ICT vestibular and psychological rehabilitation content, digital heritage tours and CRM systems, and a companion-animal life-cycle health platform including IoT neckband and harness sensors and cat individual-recognition technology. Company materials list technology assets such as VR-based attention-control content systems, big-data pet crisis management, cloud-based neckband metabolic-syndrome prevention, OCR-based veterinary electronic charts, a caregiving service system, and a biometric-measurement harness, alongside 10 registered and 5 applied patents/trademarks and six government R&D projects totalling KRW 7.5 billion.

Platform technology described by the company includes a caregiver demand-forecasting system, a caregiving diary system, a "Care PASS" system, a collaborative-filtering caregiver recommendation algorithm, a caregiving application consultation chatbot and a generative-AI chatbot. R&D is conducted partly through university collaborations: Dongguk University's AI centre, Konkuk University's veterinary department, Chung-Ang University's medical ICT convergence research institute, and Dongguk University's CML lab.

Founding story

The company was incorporated in April 2017 under the name 주식회사 유니메오, with the name standing for "Union Medical World" and an initial stated objective of improving health and wellbeing for both people and companion animals.

Business model

The company runs a platform that matches patients and families needing caregiving with caregivers, differentiated by employing exclusively contracted caregivers and by partnerships with hospitals that provide access to beds and caregiver job supply. Adjacent lines include psychological counselling (좋은상담), senior commerce, home care and planned expansion into big data, plus earlier companion-animal health platform and IoT device development.

Revenue is generated through the 좋은케어 caregiver matching platform and related senior services; reported annual revenue was KRW 2.54bn (2022), KRW 4.56bn (2023), KRW 3.29bn (2024) and KRW 4.885bn (2025), with operating and net losses in each of those years.

Latest developments
