Hyungjoo Kim is a dentist-turned-inventor and the founder and CEO of Carepod, a wellness hardware company built around a humidifier you can actually take apart and sterilize. Frustrated that every humidifier he bought for his sick daughter grew mold and bacteria within weeks, he engineered a filter-free, three-part, stainless-steel design that can be boiled clean and comes out 99.9% germ-free. Founded in South Korea in 2015, Carepod's award-winning humidifiers now sell across the United States, Canada, Australia and beyond, and have been featured by Entrepreneur, Forbes and Health Magazine.
Carepod
Carepod makes the world's simplest and cleanest stainless steel humidifiers - filter-free, three-piece units with hospital-grade interiors that can be sterilized with boiling water. Invented by dentist Dr. Hyung Joo Kim after he found conventional humidifiers were impossible to clean and breeding bacteria, Carepod sells doctor-designed, award-winning humidifiers direct to consumers. After becoming the top-selling humidifier in Korea, the brand launched in the U.S. in 2021 and has shipped hundreds of thousands of units worldwide.
