What it does
Kakao Healthcare makes PASTA, an app that pairs continuous glucose monitors with records of diet, exercise, sleep and, since April 2026, blood pressure, for individuals and employer programmes, and runs a medical-data business with hospitals, insurers and pharmaceutical companies. The company's registered Korean name is (주)카카오헬스케어; its site gives an address in Pangyo, Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do.
Independent evidence
Established from a source other than the company.
Korea Biomedical Review reported on 1 April 2026 that Kakao Healthcare and Sky Labs had launched a blood pressure management service in PASTA.
Ownership
In November 2025 the company announced a KRW 100 billion investment with CHA Bio Group, under which, through two transactions by the first quarter of 2026, CHA's companies would hold 43.08%, Kakao 29.99% and outside investors 26.93%. Whether those transactions completed has not been read, so the change is recorded only as announced.

The company’s own statements, attributed to it and not presented as established fact.
The company describes about 13 million hypertension patients in Korea as the market for its blood-pressure feature and says its data-space consortium includes 27 medical institutions and 21 companies.
