Caring for Vulnerable Groups with 'Smart Health Management' System... Kosin University Gospel Hospital Selected for 'Safe Care' Development Project
15 Billion KRW Invested Over 3 Years, Non-Face-to-Face and Mobile Healthcare for Elderly in Seo-gu, Busan
Eco Delta Smart Village Pilot Project and Non-Face-to-Face Project in Hanoi, Vietnam Also Conducted
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A smart health management system for vulnerable citizens will be introduced at Kosin University Gospel Hospital.
Kosin University Gospel Hospital (Director Oh Kyung-seung) announced on the 1st that it has been selected for the Ministry of Health and Welfare's project to develop and demonstrate a smart safety health management system based on real-time electrocardiogram and blood sugar for vulnerable groups in the local community. The total project cost is 1.5 billion KRW over three years.
In response to the post-COVID-19 era, industries related to the development of customized health management programs utilizing mobile healthcare and non-face-to-face medical services are continuously advancing worldwide.
Kosin University Gospel Hospital will carry out a Ministry of Health and Welfare project to develop services that measure and analyze biometric signals targeting the elderly to ensure the effectiveness of medical services.
In the case of Busan, there are healthcare issues due to the hollowing out of old downtown areas, an increase in elderly people living alone, the pandemic situation, unbalanced diets, and daily life conducted for long hours without physical activity.
Meanwhile, Kosin University Hospital, which is also conducting the Eco Delta Smart Village project, is making various attempts to overcome the reality of Seo-gu, Busan, which ranks first nationwide in aging index and lowest in health index. These include smart, non-face-to-face, and mobile integrated projects.
In the first year, Kosin University Hospital will develop a diabetes and deep vein IoT-based health management service platform and verify the effectiveness of the service and data connectivity through a small-scale pilot of the health management service platform.
In the second and third years, the service platform will be improved based on feedback from high-risk users of diabetes and deep vein conditions and medical staff.
It will establish a blood sugar data linkage process with TwoMedTech, an electrocardiogram monitoring system by Meju Co., Ltd., a personal health management app development by Viva Innovation, and a living lab operation system by S-Cube Design Lab.
