From AI Robot Rehabilitation to Comprehensive Care

The Unjeong Danurim Welfare Center for the Disabled, the first welfare center for people with disabilities in the Unjeong area of Paju City, Gyeonggi Province, began its pilot operation on August 27 and is now in the final stages of preparation ahead of its official opening on the 29th.

During the pilot operation period, the center offered a variety of programs, including counseling, lifelong education, and leisure activities, attracting an average of about 130 users per day. On September 12, the selection of users for the day service center and regular programs was completed, setting the stage for full-scale operation.

In particular, there was significant interest in the center's specialized project: a robot rehabilitation program based on advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology. A total of 452 people applied for related programs aimed at improving motor skills, sensory integration, and occupational function, demonstrating strong demand and high expectations for rehabilitation services in the region. The center plans to provide personalized rehabilitation programs through in-depth consultations with selected participants and their families, and aims to increase service satisfaction by conducting demand surveys for each program.

The after-school activity service for youth with brain lesions, being operated for the first time in the area, is also drawing attention. This program is expected to address the lack of after-school care opportunities for adolescents with brain lesions-who have been relatively underserved by existing after-school support programs-by providing a space for care and activities, bridging gaps in after-school care, reducing the caregiving burden on families, and expanding opportunities for social participation among youth with brain lesions.

In addition, the center plans to gradually expand its lifelong education, cultural and leisure, and family support programs, contributing to the improvement of quality of life and increased social participation for people with disabilities in the community.

An official from the Unjeong Danurim Welfare Center for the Disabled stated, "Through the pilot operation, we gathered a wide range of feedback from residents, and we are now fully prepared to offer more professional and systematic services centered around our specialized projects after the official opening. We aim to establish ourselves as an inclusive welfare center that works together with the local community."
