SK Biopharma Chief Executive Lee Donghoon announced the plan at a press conference on Monday in San Francisco, on the sidelines of the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference.“We first connected with Eurofarma at the AES (American Epilepsy Society) three years ago, and this partnership has come to represent a new chapter in SK Biopharma's global expansion,” he said.“Through this joint venture, we aim to become the No.1 AI-based epilepsy management solutions provider in North America.”In July 2022, SK Biopharma signed a deal to license out its technology for Cenobamate to Eurofarma in order to enter the Latin American market.
SK said the technology forms the basis for AI-powered epilepsy management solutions, which will enable real-time monitoring of seizures, support optimal treatment plans through data-driven insights and enhance communication between patients and healthcare providers.
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological diseases, affecting over 6 million people in Latin America alone.“While many IT companies venture into the biotech space, they often face limitations due to a lack of clinical data and field experience.
