This project is a program targeting seniors aged 65 and over among those eligible for the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Convergence Home Health Care Project. Through the use of the 'Oneul Health' smartphone application and smart devices, public health professionals will provide customized remote health management services.

During the intensive recruitment period in February, Yangpyeong County accepted the first 450 applicants on a first-come, first-served basis. After the initial face-to-face preliminary examination, participants' health behaviors and physical functions are assessed and they are classified into three groups: healthy, pre-frail, and frail. Customized health management services will then be provided according to these classifications.

Depending on individual health risk factors, each participating senior will receive up to two types of smart health devices, such as an activity tracker, scale, blood pressure monitor, or blood glucose meter. For six months, the remote health management service will include monthly health missions, virtual consultations with public health experts, and the provision of tailored health information.

Participants will use the 'Oneul Health' app installed on their smartphones, connecting it with the provided devices to carry out daily health tasks such as walking and monitoring blood pressure and blood glucose levels. The public health center will observe the collected health data in real time and offer regular consultations and health management services.

In particular, in May, to help seniors who are not familiar with smart devices, Yangpyeong County plans to collaborate with the Korea Social Security Information Service to provide training on the 'Oneul Health' app and smart device usage. Additionally, an AI-based health management guidebook will be produced and distributed to help bridge the digital divide.

Governor Jeon Jinseon stated, "The AI·IoT-based Senior Health Management Project is a specialized remote health management service for seniors who have limited access to medical care due to old age or mobility challenges. We will do our best to supplement the limitations of in-person services, establish a more comprehensive health management system, and ensure that seniors in Yangpyeong County can enjoy a healthy and happy later life."
