[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shin Dong-ho] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Seo Dae-seok) announced on the 7th that the AI Intelligent Integrated Care Model Construction Project it is promoting has been finally selected for the ‘Special Subsidy Project for Local Government Collaboration.’

This public contest project was conducted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety to provide better resident services through collaboration between local governments and public and private sectors, with a total of 36 projects applied.

After three rounds of public and expert evaluations, Seo-gu was selected as one of the final eight projects and will receive a total of 1.2 billion KRW in special subsidies, of which 200 million KRW will be allocated to this project.

This project, promoted by the Integrated Care Division, aims to build an integrated management system that allows a comprehensive view of various care services segmented by target and service under the ‘AI Intelligent Integrated Care Model Construction Project.’

Based on the secured data, the project identifies the service benefit status of care recipients and links necessary welfare services using AI technology.

The project will be further strengthened through collaboration not only with private companies such as KT Corporation and ETRI but also among departments within Seo-gu Office, including the Welfare Policy Division, Sangmu Kumho Health Life Support Center, and Dementia Safety Center, enabling a more well-organized project implementation.

A Seo-gu official stated, “The selection of this project reflects the precise response to the demands of the times and is a result of emphasizing and encouraging the importance of collaborative administration, focusing on managing and supporting collaborative projects.” He added, “We will continue to enhance administrative efficiency through barrier-free collaborative administration to ultimately provide high-quality administrative services to residents.”
