Naju-si and KEPCO KDN Sign MOU for ICT Health Management Services

[Naju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Naju City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Kang In-gyu) and KEPCO KDN (President Park Sung-chul) have joined hands to promote non-face-to-face health promotion services using information and communication technology (ICT).

According to the city on the 21st, the two organizations signed an 'ICT Health Management Service Business Agreement' at the city hall's Ihwa Room on the 18th, agreeing to mutually cooperate in building a medical platform for citizens' health promotion and management.

This agreement was prepared to improve the quality and convenience of public medical services through systematic management of medical information integrated with ICT technology.

The core is to build a medical platform based on citizens' health big data to activate non-face-to-face medical feedback among public health centers, health branches, and health clinics, and to provide customized health management services for each resident.

The medical platform construction utilizes the 'Health Age Analysis and Symptom/Disease Prediction' app developed by ToBeCon Co., Ltd., which developed the biological age analysis system 'Mo-om'.

The biological age analysis system is a technology that collects health records using scraping technology and data analysis technology based on health examination records from the National Health Insurance Corporation, and derives health age through big data analysis.

Once the platform construction is completed, the city public health center will input biometric information such as blood and InBody tests for high-risk health residents into the system, predict physical age, chronic diseases, metabolic syndrome, etc., according to health age analysis, and provide customized health management services for individuals.

For residents visiting health clinics, when basic test results such as blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol are entered into a tablet PC, not only health age analysis but also medical information is automatically transmitted to public health centers and health branches, enabling public health doctors to conduct medical prescriptions and video consultations.

The city and KEPCO KDN will establish an organic cooperative network for technical supplementation and administrative support to operate non-face-to-face remote medical treatment and health information platform services.

Mayor Kang In-gyu said, "At a time when the importance of non-face-to-face health promotion services is increasing in preparation for the post-COVID-19 era, I thank KEPCO KDN for cooperating in providing ICT health promotion services for the health management of local residents," and added, "We will strive to thoroughly protect personal information such as patient medical history so that Naju can leap forward as a leader in the digital healthcare era."
