About Curaum

Established in 2017, Curaum is a South Korean healthcare company operating from its headquarters in Daejeon. The firm is focused on the development and manufacturing of next-generation medical devices, with a stated goal of improving the quality of life for its users. Curaum's name is a combination of the words "Cure" and "Lyceum," reflecting its mission to be a center for recovery.

The company's core product is a smart oral denture cleaner designed to assist in managing oral hygiene and addressing sleep-related chronic diseases. This platform gathers and analyzes a user's medical, healthcare, and sleep data. The objective is to monitor hygiene status, predict pre-disease symptoms, and facilitate early diagnosis, thereby encouraging preventative health habits. In addition to its smart denture solution, the company's research and development arm, ALFO, which is located within Korea University, is also exploring ECG/EMG life logging. The company operates a dental lab that supplies over 35 different types of products, including crowns, bridges, and implants, to more than 23 dental clinics.

Curaum operates on a business-to-consumer model, providing its smart device and associated data analysis platform directly to patients. The company has secured significant venture capital backing to fuel its growth and development. Since its seed round in 2018, it has progressed through multiple funding stages, including Series A, B, and C, raising a total of $25.7M. Its investor base includes firms such as Hana Securities, InterVest, and Lotte Ventures.
