JamJam Therapeutics, a digital healthcare company, announced on the 13th that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Korea Association for the Welfare of Persons with Intellectual Disabilities, a non-profit organization, to develop and distribute content to help people with developmental disabilities improve their rehabilitation and self-reliance. The signing ceremony took place on September 10th, and was signed by JamJam Therapeutics CEO Kim Jeong-eun and Secretary General Yoon Su-jeong on behalf of the association's President Lee Jeong-sik.
This agreement combines the "Hands" project, currently being promoted by the Korea Intellectual Development Association with support from the Community Chest of Korea, with Jamjam Therapeutics' digital rehabilitation solution, "Jamjam400," to provide customized rehabilitation content to approximately 10 welfare centers and facilities supporting people with developmental disabilities nationwide. The goal is to support the digital transformation of welfare settings and contribute to narrowing the gap in welfare services between regions.
"JamJam400" is a digital rehabilitation program developed by JamJam Therapeutics. Designed to improve hand function and stimulate cognitive function in children with developmental delays and disabilities, including those with brain damage and autism spectrum disorders. Available as a mobile app, it offers personalized content linked to therapist feedback, enabling rehabilitation to be implemented anywhere, at home or in a setting.
Currently, the 'Hands' project is being implemented with approximately 200 developmentally disabled individuals in 14 institutions nationwide, and the Jam Jam 400 program is being utilized for actual rehabilitation training at these institutions.
Under the agreement, JamJam Therapeutics will provide participating institutions with program trial accounts, training content for treatment experts, and an operational manual to facilitate field implementation. This will establish a support system that will enable even institutions unfamiliar with digital rehabilitation to easily implement the solution.
Kim Jeong-eun, CEO of JamJam Therapeutics, said, “We are focusing on creating an environment where people with developmental disabilities and their families can continue sustainable rehabilitation in their daily lives,” and added, “We will continue to advance the digital treatment system that is easily accessible to both welfare facilities and homes.”
An official from the Korea Association for the Welfare of Persons with Intellectual Disabilities said, “We hope that through this agreement, practical content that will help develop fine motor skills and train daily living skills in people with developmental disabilities will be widely utilized in the field.”
