Yeonggwang-gun, AI-IOT Based Pilot Project for Senior Health Management 추진

[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 7th that it will promote a non-face-to-face elderly health management service project based on AI (Artificial Intelligence) and IOT (Internet of Things) starting next month.

This project was selected as a pilot project for elderly health management led by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. It provides a non-face-to-face customized health management service using various devices by public health center experts (nurses, nutritionists, exercise prescribers) through a smartphone app (Oneul Geongang) and smart devices.

Participants will be provided with devices suitable for their personal health level, such as a mobile app, an activity tracker linked to a smartphone, a scale, a blood pressure monitor, a blood glucose meter, and an AI speaker.

Using these devices, the linked data will be regularly monitored by public health center professionals, and personalized health consultations and health management will be conducted.

The project targets are residents of Yeonggwang-gun aged 65 or older who suffer from chronic diseases or need to improve their health behaviors and possess a smartphone registered in their own name. Anyone meeting these criteria can participate.

Priority will be given to those with hypertension and diabetes, and 150 participants will be recruited on a first-come, first-served basis.

A public health center official said, “We expect that the AI-IOT elderly health management service pilot project will improve the elderly’s ability to manage their own health and their quality of life.”
