[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Jeong-su] ITCEN announced on the 17th that it will participate in the Ministry of Health and Welfare's Emergency Safety Assurance Service project as part of the Digital New Deal initiative.


The Ministry of Health and Welfare is conducting the Emergency Safety Assurance Service to establish a rapid response system for emergencies targeting elderly living alone, based on Article 27-2 of the Elderly Welfare Act. The service uses a total of five devices to detect the activities of elderly individuals aged 65 and over living alone and respond to emergency situations. It provides services such as health management, dementia prevention content, and lifestyle information through analysis of activity patterns and sleep status.


This service is a cloud-based project, and ITCEN provides equipment installation and technical support. As the number of households subscribed to the service steadily increases, the project is expected to continue growing.


Recently, the government has been promoting non-face-to-face businesses as part of the Digital New Deal. The establishment of smart medical and care infrastructure projects is also included. Digital care services utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are provided to health-vulnerable groups such as the elderly. ITCEN expects to expand its cloud business area provided to the government, starting with the provision of cloud servers for the Emergency Safety Assurance Service.



An ITCEN official stated, "The data accumulated through the Emergency Safety Assurance Service project can be applied to various private sector businesses in the future, such as telemedicine and healthcare," adding, "We will accelerate growth by utilizing new information and communication (IT) technologies such as big data, blockchain, AI, and cloud."
