Naver's startup-focused investment arm D2SF said on the 25th that it made a new investment in Gravity Labs, a healthcare startup that helps build healthy habits. With Naver D2SF joining this round, Gravity Labs closed its series A funding.
Gravity Labs operates the healthcare platform "MoneyWalk." It helps users build habits by offering rewards when they log health activities, and in doing so, secures a variety of health data. While typical healthcare platforms struggle to keep users engaged, Gravity Labs records an average daily time spent of more than 30 minutes.
Gravity Labs is growing into a platform that can centrally manage diverse health data. Using an artificial intelligence (AI) health camera, users can easily measure biometrics such as blood pressure, heart rate, and HRV (heart rate variability) with a smartphone. Recently, it linked data from the National Health Insurance Service.
Two years after the service launch, global monthly active users (MAU) surpassed 1.3 million. It is used in 111 countries and is growing into a global healthcare app. In particular, it once ranked No. 8 among healthcare apps in Japan. About 40% of global MAU comes from countries including Japan and the United States.
Going forward, Gravity Labs plans to expand into data-driven healthcare businesses by leveraging its rich health data and collaborating with insurers, contract research organizations (CROs), and public institutions.
Yang Sang-hwan, head of the Naver D2SF Center, said, "Gravity Labs is a team that sincerely pursues the mission of building healthy habits and makes users' day-to-day changes feel tangible."
