According to the county on December 19, under this agreement, Buan County will receive dementia prevention and cognitive training system equipment, including kiosks, tablet PCs, and cognitive training tools worth approximately 50 million won, free of charge as part of the Jeonju Central Rotary Club's Global Grant Project.

After holding a delivery ceremony for the dementia prevention and cognitive training system equipment next year, Buan County and the Jeonju Central Rotary Club plan to fully implement a digital-based dementia prevention and cognitive enhancement program for dementia patients, individuals with mild cognitive impairment, those experiencing cognitive decline, and local residents using the donated equipment.

The county expects that, by enabling customized cognitive training for each target group using digital devices, this initiative will contribute to the early prevention of dementia, improvement of cognitive function, and increased awareness of dementia among local residents.

County Governor Kwon Ikhyeon stated, "Through this agreement, we will do our utmost to smoothly operate the dementia prevention and cognitive enhancement program in cooperation with the Jeonju Central Rotary Club and contribute to improving the cognitive health and quality of life of local residents."
