[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon Urban Corporation (iH Corporation) is set to pilot smart healthcare apartment complexes to realize healthy residential welfare in a super-aged society.

On the 25th, iH Corporation announced that it will participate in the pilot complex operation for the "Smart Healthcare Apartment Complex Research" based on the establishment of AAL (Ambient Assisted Living) in collaboration with Gachon University Healthcare Convergence Research Institute.

This project is a research task commissioned by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport titled "Development of Healthcare Technology and Demonstration Model for Smart Healthcare Apartment Complexes Based on AAL," aiming to develop and promote a domestic standard model that integrates information and communication technology (ICT) housing infrastructure with healthcare technology.

iH Corporation selected the purchased rental housing in Seonhak-dong, Yeonsu-gu, where the proportion of elderly and disabled residents is high, and plans to pilot the program for a total of 35 applicant households until the end of July.

Gachon University Healthcare Convergence Research Institute will provide health measuring devices and station dedicated researchers within the complex to continuously monitor residents' health information through a health management app.

Lee Seungwoo, president of iH Corporation, stated, "By acquiring know-how in establishing a future-oriented smart healthcare apartment complex model, we will lay the groundwork for solving social problems caused by population aging, such as disease prevention for the elderly and disabled, prevention of solitary deaths and suicides, and reduction of medical expenses."
