NAVER D2SF has announced a new investment in GravityLabs, a healthcare technology startup that helps users build and maintain healthy habits in a sustainable way. GravityLabs is best known for MoneyWalk, a global health platform that rewards users for tracking their daily health activities, encouraging them to be more active. This method not only helps people form long-term healthy habits but also collects a broad range of personal health data. Unlike many health apps that struggle to keep users engaged, MoneyWalk has an average daily active usage of over 30 minutes per user, showing high engagement and satisfaction.

GravityLabs started with a Walk-to-Earn model that rewards users for regular physical activity and is now expanding into a broader Health-to-Earn system. This system aims to bring together various types of health data into one easy-to-use platform. One of their key innovations is an AI-powered health camera that lets users check vital signs like blood pressure, heart rate, and heart rate variability using just a smartphone. The app also connects directly to South Korea’s National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) database, making it easier for users to manage their health records through official sources.

Since launching two years ago, MoneyWalk has grown into a global platform with over 1.3 million monthly active users across 111 countries. It has gained strong international popularity, even without focused regional marketing. About 40% of its users are in countries such as Japan and the United States. The app has also ranked eighth in Japan’s healthcare app category. With this solid foundation, GravityLabs is now looking to strengthen its role in the digital health ecosystem by working with insurance companies, research organizations, and public health institutions to create more data-driven healthcare services.
Yang Sang-hwan, who leads NAVER D2SF, expressed strong confidence in GravityLabs, saying the team is deeply committed to helping people live healthier lives. He noted that their work is making a clear difference in how users manage their health on a daily basis. He also pointed out that as personal health records become an important part of the healthcare industry, there is a big opportunity for future collaboration between GravityLabs and NAVER’s own healthcare projects.
Since its founding in 2017, NAVER D2SF has consistently supported early-stage healthcare startups. The healthcare sector now makes up about 18% of its total investments. Some other health-focused companies that NAVER has backed include PranaQ, which uses AI for sleep solutions, Nuvilab, which applies AI to analyze food nutrition, and Monitor Corporation, which develops AI tools for medical use. This latest investment in GravityLabs shows NAVER’s continued dedication to driving innovation in health technology.
