Personal Health Data Solution Booth... Available to Everyone

A space where not only students but also local residents can autonomously screen mental health issues such as stress, depression, and anxiety, which are easily experienced in daily life, has been established at Chosun University of Science and Technology.

Chosun University of Science and Technology announced on the 8th that it is operating the ‘JOY Connect Mental Health Zone,’ which measures stress levels and allows users to check their physical health, next to the cafeteria in Building 3.

Any current student, member, or local resident of Chosun University of Science and Technology can freely use it at any time.

The ‘JOY Connect Mental Health Zone’ is a personal health data solution booth where anyone can easily and conveniently measure and track their health data.

Composed of a health management booth called the ‘Biogram Zone’ and a dedicated app, users can receive information on health, exercise, and diet through the app based on various personal health data measured at the booth.

It measures 37 items including blood pressure, blood sugar, stress, and cholesterol, and provides personalized exercise and diet guides based on data tailored to each individual’s needs.

Kang Hyung-seon, Director of Student Employment at Chosun University of Science and Technology, said, “We established the JOY Connect Mental Health Zone to actively respond to the worsening mental health crisis after COVID-19 and to help community members lead healthier lives. We hope it will become a guardian of the health of local residents, and we look forward to the interest and use from students and citizens.”

Meanwhile, Chosun University of Science and Technology has been selected for the ‘National Experience Leading Project’ by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the National Information Society Agency, and is fulfilling its role as a customized mental health care platform.

The mental health management MyUniverse service and the health management solution Biogram are also operated as part of this project. Moving forward, Chosun University of Science and Technology plans to consider and actively pursue its social role in enhancing the health and welfare of students, university members, and local residents from the perspective of the university’s ESG operations.
