Aging and environmental pollution continue to affect people’s fertility and eventually reduce the quality of life. Compounding the situation is the reduced ability of people to personally visit their healthcare providers to seek medical advice or consult on how to improve fertility.
Jihoon Kim, CEO and founder of INTIN, a global healthcare manufacturing and service platform, understands the concerns and believes that innovative products can further help individuals address their fertility and general healthcare problems.
INTIN’s products are designed to manage home and medical devices that people encounter in their daily lives through a dedicated app. Particularly, the company’s proprietary ovulation test using saliva and sperm test products have helped thousands of couples thus far.
“We will continue to develop competitive innovative products overseas and challenge ourselves to become the global #1 health platform,” Kim said.
