뇌혈류 진단 혁신 ‘BRAINCHECK.AI’ 상용화 가속… 1억 원 사업화 자금 확보로 의료 생태계 변화 예고
인공지능(AI) 기반 초음파 혈류 진단 기술을 선도하는 스타트업 (주)SHMD(대표 송민영)가 중소벤처기업부의 대표 기술창업 지원 프로그램인 ‘팁스(TIPS, Tech Incubator Program for Startup Korea)’ 창업사업화 부문에 최종 선정되며 업계의 이목을 집중시키고 있다. SHMD는 지난해 기술개발(R&D) 부문 선정에 이어 2년 연속으로 팁스 프로그램에 이름을 올리는 쾌거를 달성, 자사의 혁신적인 기술력과 높은 시장 잠재력을 공인받았다.

SHMD는 이번 창업사업화 부문 선정으로 총 1억 원 규모의 사업화 자금을 지원받게 됐다. 이 자금은 AI 통합 뇌건강 솔루션인 ‘BRAINCHECK.AI’와 웨어러블 초음파 혈류 측정 디바이스 ‘CEREBAND’의 사업화 및 서비스 고도화에 투입될 예정이다. 뇌졸중, 치매 등 심각한 뇌 질환의 조기 진단 및 관리의 핵심인 뇌혈류 분석 기술을 AI와 융합해 일반 사용자와 의료기관 모두 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 디지털 헬스케어 생태계를 구축하겠다는 구상이다.

송민영 SHMD 대표는 2년 연속 팁스 프로그램 선정에 대해 “SHMD가 가진 기술적 독창성과 글로벌 시장 확장 가능성을 공식적으로 인정받은 결과”라고 평가하며, “이번 사업화를 발판 삼아 AI 기반 뇌건강 관리의 문턱을 낮추고, 사용자 중심의 혁신적인 의료 서비스를 선보이는 데 주력하겠다”고 포부를 밝혔다.

SHMD는 기술 신뢰성 확보를 위해 최근 연세대 세브란스병원을 비롯한 다수의 대학병원과 공동 임상연구를 활발하게 진행하고 있다. 실제 의료 현장에서의 기술 검증을 통해 솔루션의 완성도를 높이는 작업에 집중하는 모습이다.

동시에 해외 시장 진출을 위한 글로벌 파트너십 확대에도 속도를 내고 있다. 국내외 투자 유치를 적극적으로 추진하여 AI와 의료 기술 융합의 상용화를 앞당기고, 빠르게 성장하는 글로벌 디지털 헬스케어 시장에 진입을 가속화하겠다는 전략이다.

팁스 프로그램은 유망 스타트업을 민간 투자사와 정부가 공동으로 발굴 및 지원하는 국내 대표적인 창업 지원 프로그램으로, 매년 치열한 경쟁을 뚫어야만 선정될 수 있다. SHMD는 까다로운 심사를 통과함으로써 자사의 AI 뇌혈류 분석 기술이 단순 기술 개발 단계를 넘어 상용화와 글로벌 도약의 문턱에 있음을 증명했다는 분석이다.
