Software will treat the world
WELT stands at the crossroad of the consumer
and the healthcare world.
With teams comprised of clinicians (MDs, PharmD), ex-pharma executives (Novartis), and operators who spent time in the trenches developing and commercializing products that tackle unmet medical device industry veterans (Philips, Abbott, GE), we understand the complexities of healthcare needs.
In the other corner of our office, we have members who come from startups (PillPack/Amazon, Pear Therapeutics), consumer electronics (Samsung, LG), and luxury brands (BMW).
Together, we build products that meet not only unmet medical needs but also unmet consumer needs—envisioning a future in which software will treat the world.
Our Story

Founded in 2016 as a spin-off of SAMSUNG,
WELT has won the CES 2020 Innovation Awards on Smart Belt Pro.
Based on the data collected from our wearable device, we started research on digital biomarkers with diverse research institutes.


WELT holds the leading position in the Korean DTx market, serving as an industry advisor for the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (KFDA) on digital therapeutics.

WELT co-chairs the DTA APAC Working Group to promote the industry in the region.
