1. Overview of Psycure

Psycure is a software and hardware solutions developer that provides digital therapy-based educational and treatment services. We are comprised mostly of expert researchers and we have been carrying out research and development over the past 10 years. We’ve developed and accumulated various original technologies and know-hows that have not been shown to the world yet. Since 2019, we’ve been manufacturing LED sterilizers and focusing on supplying LED space sterilizers in the home appliances market. After years of research, we’ve finally released our space sterilizer Cure Clean. Cure Clean kills 99.9% of bacteria and viruses and, is a harmless sterilizer than can be turned on all the time. Cure Clean can be manufactured as small modules and we are currently working with Hyundai Motor Group to develop small automotive sterilizers that helps the users maintain their cars safe and clean. Next year, we will continue our research and development in sterilizer modules and digital therapy that incorporates AR and VR to make products that can enhance people’s lives.

In the beginning, we’ve focused on developing AR and VR devices and integrating them with other products. And in 2019, we’ve released a LED mask that has AR/VR devices installed.
