With its superior flexibility and safety, J.Flex is expected to be a highly sought-after energy storage solution in the healthcare industry.
Hyung Hee Kim, Director of Medical Research at Pusan National University Hospital, said, “In the future, demand for IoT-based telemedicine and wearable medical devices will increase. Jenax’s flexible battery, which is thinner, bendable and safer than conventional batteries, can be a key technology in this industrial shift.” EJ Shin, Head of Strategic Planning of Jenax, said, “We expect to show differentiated competitiveness of Jenax in the smart medical field through the cooperation with Pusan National University Hospital.”
This MoU with Pusan National University Hospital is a result of Jenax’s passion and commitment to provide optimized power solutions for various devices to meet the needs of the aging population and personal care that is accelerating worldwide. Jenax and Pusan National University Hospital plan to build a portfolio of patient-friendly smart medical products.
