Recently, the "customized health functional food" market, which analyzes and provides health functional foods such as their lifestyle, has emerged more. On the one hand, with the development of smartwatches, physical information that can be measured and analyzed has increased. As a result, the types and accuracy of preventable diseases and manageable health conditions have increased. Doctor Buddy provides customized health functional foods for devices based on user data measured by smartwatches. It also provides continuous feedback on health conditions and helps users use the service more conveniently through dose notification times. The advantage is that you can check and manage continuously changing body data through smart watches and receive health functional foods that immediately reflect the changed data. It also prevents side effects of taking drugs that should not be taken together or overdosing one ingredient. You can put a pill into the device body and get it configured immediately depending on the data. If necessary, it is loaded into a portable device and can be used for portable use. Through Doctor Buddy, we would like to propose future healthcare that allows you to receive professional and continuous health care close to your daily life.
