Barunbio Inc. (CEO Jae Young Lee) participated in the global startup exhibition, ‘SWITCH 2022 (The Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology 2022)’, held in Singapore from October 25th(Tue) to 28th(Fri).

Barunbio developed a new electrical stimulation solution with experts in each field who are devoted to research and development. Technology of Barunbio aims to innovatively harvest energy and effectively deliver that energy to the targeted area.

In this exhibition, they introduced ‘SPS (Self-Powered Stimuli)’ technology, which adds life to cells through daily movements. It continuously activates the targeted area by generating a micro electric field using the movement of human as an energy source without any external mechanical device. They explained that the SPS solution can be implemented in any form, such as fiber, gel, or patch. Therefore, it can be customized to areas requiring healing through cell activation in the human body.

In particular, SPS utilizes energy that is wasted in daily life without any device. Movement of human, contact with objects, and surrounding electrical energy are all used as energy sources. In addition, a local micro-electric alternating potential is generated on the SPS applied area. Similar to GPS, it precisely targets and stimulates the targeted area. It is also known to have the characteristic of providing continuous treatment effects in daily life in a form optimized for user convenience in various disease models.

They also introduced WE-stim (Wearing Electrical Stimulation) technology, which is optimized Barunbio's technology for sports activities. An official explained that through continuous electrical stimulation to muscles, it increases Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) production by 135% and reduces muscle fatigue by 4.8%.

An official from Barunbio said, “Our technology adds new values to medical device. We think differently believe in the power of challenging ourselves.”

Having its 7^th iteration this year, ‘SWITCH 2022’ is global startup exhibition hosted by Enterprise Singapore, a public institution under the Singapore Ministry of Trade and Industry. The 20 Korea startups that are attending ‘SWITCH 2022’ were selected by 2 organizations in KISED and Singapore’s KSC Center (KISED 10, KSC Center 10). Between October 25^th to the 28^th, the attending startups will be in the main event, where they will take part in programs like operating the K-STARTUP demo booth, K-STARTUP demo day, investors meeting, networking event, and pitching contest.
