Ulju-gun Collaborates with Naver AI to Prevent Solitary Deaths

Pilot Operation of 'Check-in Call Service' for Single-Person Households

Ulju-gun announced on the 16th that it has signed an agreement with Naver to operate the ‘AI Check-in Call Service for Single-Person Households’ to prevent solitary deaths, and will begin a pilot operation starting this month.

‘Naver Care Call,’ developed by Naver, is a service where AI checks on the well-being of care recipients.

The AI, with a voice recognition accuracy of over 96%, makes a call once a week to check on single-person households and assesses the recipient’s condition through simple questions. In case of an emergency, it provides contact information to request help and allows the recipient to leave a message for the responsible public official.

The AI consultation results are automatically sent to the responsible public official. The AI makes the first call to the single-person household, and if the call is not answered or the person is classified as abnormal, the official makes a second call to verify. Ulju-gun plans to expand the target group based on the results of this pilot project.

County Governor Lee Soon-geol said, “We expect the AI Check-in Call Service to be a great help in preventing solitary deaths among single-person households,” and added, “We sincerely thank Naver for actively participating in this social contribution activity.”

Ulju-gun is carrying out various projects to address solitary deaths, including the ‘Ulju-type Solitary Death Prevention Project,’ the ‘Customized Case Management Project for Middle-aged Single-Person Households at Risk of Solitary Death,’ and the ‘Happy Village Care Project.’ Starting next month, in collaboration with the post office through a Ministry of the Interior and Safety public contest project, it will promote the ‘Hope Delivery Check-in Care Project.’
