This service installs AI speakers in each household, providing functions such as companionship, music listening, medication and meal schedule alarms, religious messages, date, weather, news updates, and emergency rescue services. Additionally, cognitive and physical training services that support systematic health management for the elderly are also available.


The usage period is one year from the application date and can be extended for an additional year. Upon new application, staff visit the recipient's home to install the device and provide usage instructions, and in case of errors during use, management is conducted through phone or on-site inspections.
