Medical artificial intelligence (AI) startup DoctorP“P”resso said Friday that it has been selected as a final winner among the companies for “Yonsei University Nanum Table for 2026”, a startup cultivation program run by the nonprofit foundation Challenge and Sharing.
The Yonsei University Nanum Table is an entrepreneur training program that identifies promising young startup chief executive officers (CEOs) and supports their growth. In particular, it has drawn significant attention across the industry because Yoon Jae-yoo, G&G School’s founder of Zinus, is sponsoring 100% of the education and forum costs for the 10 representatives selected for the final round.
At the heart of DoctorP“P”resso’s success in clearing the high competition rate and landing in the final lineup is the company’s overwhelming technology behind the mental-health-specialized AI voice charting solution SOAPY (SOFI). The solution maximizes efficiency in clinicians’ day-to-day clinical work, and it has already been successfully rolled out to more than 30 clinics. The company is now preparing to move into full paid commercialization.
DoctorP“P”resso is also strengthening its position as a leading medical AI company on both domestic and international stages, including securing a contract for Bucheon City’s public emotional care program and earning a spot as a finalist for the world’s largest mobile telecom exhibition (MWC) “GLOMO Awards.”
This year’s program will see close collaboration among innovative startup CEOs that were selected together, including CEO Jeong Hwan-bo of DoctorP“P”resso, KuintaCube (CEO Kwon Soon-uk), Backsdaime (CEO Kim Seong-jae), Whatsup (CEO Kim Jun-tae), Toolurobotics (CEO Kim Jin-hyo), AI Doctors Lab (CEO Ma Ji-hoon), Whale Universe (CEO Jung Yu-sang), Jayson Music Lab (CEO Jo Jin-hyun), Ddalgiroe Company (CEO Jin Su-min), and YuvLab (CEO Hwang Geon-woo).
Jeong Hwan-bo, CEO of DoctorP“P”resso, said, “I offer my sincere thanks to Chairman Yoon Jae-yoo for not holding back any support. Drawing strength from the experience of seasoned business leaders, we will work to ease the burden on the medical field and take a leap forward as a global medical AI company that builds a strong mental-health social safety net.”
DoctorP“P”resso plans to use participation in this forum as a springboard to strengthen the company’s fundamentals and further upgrade its capabilities. Moving forward, based on close public-private cooperation with Bucheon City, the company intends to concentrate all of its organizational capacity on expanding AI-based mental health service models across the country.
