SEOUL, November 26 (AJP) - Naver has acquired a controlling stake in cloud-based electronic medical records (EMR) company Cenacle as it accelerates its expansion into the digital healthcare sector.
The acquisition price was not disclosed, and Naver said it ultimately aims for full ownership.
Cenacle operates the cloud EMR platform “Orem Chart” and the patient health-management app “Clea,” serving clinics across internal medicine, pediatrics and other specialties. In September, TIME and Statista named Cenacle one of the “World’s Best Health Tech Companies 2025.”
The deal marks Naver's latest move in the healthcare space. This year, the company has invested in domestic clinical trial platform JNP Medi and InBody, a global leader in body-composition analysis, as part of efforts to strengthen its healthcare platform. Naver said discussions with InBody are continuing on senior-care initiatives and data-driven personalized health services.
“With Cenacle’s technical capability and scalable platform, we will drive innovation in core EMR infrastructure for medical institutions,” said Choi In-hyuk, CEO of Naver Tech Business.
