KT Supports ICT Healthcare for National Merit Recipients

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] KT announced on the 22nd that it has supported ICT healthcare solutions for national veterans in commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Korean War and the Month of Patriots and Veterans.

KT selected 15 national veterans based on recommendations from Gwangju Veterans Hospital and installed ‘Smart LED’ devices in their homes. The Smart LED is a device that adds elderly care functions to a remote control switch light. In case of an emergency, national veterans can press the remote control emergency bell to send an urgent message to the veterans hospital staff. Additionally, KT distributed ‘Smart Medicine Boxes’ to 80 national veterans and vulnerable elderly people in the Daegu area. The Smart Medicine Box provides an alarm at medication times and sends data to the server when the elderly take their medicine. Lee Seon-joo, Head of KT’s Sustainable Management Division (Senior Executive Director), said, “It was meaningful to express our gratitude to national veterans across Yeongnam and Honam regions on the 70th anniversary of the Korean War,” adding, “KT will continue to promote non-face-to-face social contribution activities that lead changes in the lives of the senior generation.”

Meanwhile, on June 18, KT signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Daegu Veterans Hospital and Daegu Jinmyeong Senior Welfare Center to cooperate on an Internet of Things-based healthcare project aimed at medication management for vulnerable chronic disease patients and prevention of solitary deaths.
