Kor is the proactive health platform that helps to prevent diseases and to take care of your physical and mental health.
Today, we're reaching a significant milestone: Kor is now a Class I Medical Device (MD), with CE marking.
In this article, we simply explain: what that means, why we made this choice, and what that practically changes for you… and for healthcare professionals.
1. What does it mean to be a Medical Device (MD)?
A Medical Device, it is a health product (including software) that meets strict rules.
In practice, this means that Kor:
- ✅ has been designed to be reliable, safe and traceable
- ✅ follows quality requirements throughout development
- ✅ is evaluated to reduce risks (error, misinterpretation, inappropriate use)
- ✅ complies with a European regulatory framework, evidenced by the CE marking
In short: the CE marking indicates that Kor meets the European requirements applicable to medical devices, and that it is suitable for use in this context.
2. Why we made this choice at Kor
We often hear: “In Europe, regulatory barriers hinder innovation.”
At Kor, we believe the opposite.
In healthcare, we must be able to do both at the same time :
- move quickly,
- and ensure the highest standards of quality, rigor and reliability.
That's why we made foundational decisions very early on, right from Kor's inception.
After obtaining our certifications ISO 27001 and HDS last July, this milestone of Medical Device + CE marking further strengthens our ambition:
To enable the adoption of health services on a large scale, with high standards.
And no, it doesn't hold us back.
Quite the opposite: This is an essential condition to build lasting trust.
3. What this changes in the product (for users)
Specifically, this CE marking allows us to further enhance what Kor offers daily.
🔎 Precise and personalized health analyses
Kor helps to move from general advice (eat well, exercise, sleep) to a personalized assessment.
Thanks to several hundred data points per person and thousands of validated medical rules, Kor can detect subtle signs and assess specific risks, sometimes invisible to the naked eye.
In short: you don't just receive "one-size-fits-all" advice, but information tailored to your situation.
🛡️ State-of-the-art medical knowledge, widely accessible to all
The analyses are based on thousands of validated medical rules, and a strict quality framework.
Specifically, CE marking means that Kor applies a harmonized analysis method :
- whether you are the 1st or the 10,000th user,
- you benefit from the same rigorous standards,
- and the same security protocols.
In short: this reduces the "lottery" associated with highly variable practices. With Kor, access to structured and secure analysis becomes more consistent and more reliable for everyone.
🪴 A living experience, not a static report
A medical device doesn't have to be boring.
With Kor, the assessment becomes an interactive experience : instead of filling out a questionnaire and then waiting for a static report at the end, you get results and explanations progressively.
You understand your health in real time, step by step.
And most importantly, Kor doesn't stop at a one-off assessment.
You can take and retake tests throughout the year, track the evolution of your indicators, and receive recommendations right away, when it's useful for you.
4. What this means for doctors
CE marking is not just a label: it also changes how technology integrates into the healthcare journey.
🩺 Better use of medical time
When automated analysis handles the sorting and structuring, doctors can focus on what truly matters: complex situations, human interaction, research, and the development of innovative solutions.
Result: less time wasted on repetitive tasks, more time where medical value is highest.
Conclusion: What's next?
This CE marking is another step towards making prevention simple, reliable and accessible.
