Kangbuk Samsung Hospital's "Chronic Disease Prediction AI Model"
to Be Integrated into Samsung C&T's "AI Wellness Solution"

"Hyper-personalized Wellness Experience in Everyday Life"

Samsung C&T Engineering & Construction Group and Kangbuk Samsung Hospital are collaborating to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) program that assists with personalized health management (wellness) at home and in the office.


Samsung C&T announced on the 15th that it recently signed a joint research Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Kangbuk Samsung Hospital in Jongno-gu, Seoul, for the development of wellness and home healthcare products and services.


Under this agreement, Samsung C&T will apply Kangbuk Samsung Hospital's "chronic disease prediction AI model" to its "AI Wellness Solution." The "AI Wellness Solution," which Samsung C&T plans to launch in the second half of this year, is a service that enables residents to manage their physical condition, eating habits, and emotional state all in one mobile application. The AI will suggest personalized meal plans and proactively provide health-related advice. Facilities for measuring health status and purchasing food tailored to individual needs will also be available in apartment communities and offices.


Kangbuk Samsung Hospital, which established Korea's first comprehensive health screening center in 1981, has accumulated more than 40 years of screening data and holds the nation’s largest health checkup database in the field of chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. Utilizing this extensive health screening data and medical expertise, Kangbuk Samsung Hospital will provide users with early warnings of potential disease risk and deliver accurate health information.

Regarding the "AI Wellness Solution," Samsung C&T explained that "the operational experience accumulated through 'Homeniq,' the exclusive lifestyle service app for apartment residents, and 'Bynd,' the office building management service, is now being expanded into the hyper-personalized wellness sector." Wellness is a concept that goes beyond the mere absence of illness or pain, emphasizing the importance of managing exercise, eating habits, and mental health to improve overall quality of life.


In addition, the two organizations will pursue the demonstration of "AI prediction models and agentic coaching," as well as the joint research and development of "future home healthcare products and services."


According to the Global Wellness Institute (GWI), a U.S.-based nonprofit research organization, the global health management market is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 7.6%, from USD 6.8 trillion in 2026 to USD 9.8 trillion in 2029.



Juyong Lee, Vice President and Head of the DX Platform Business Division at Samsung C&T, stated, "By expanding the proven digital experience innovation from Homeniq for residential spaces and Bynd for commercial buildings into the wellness domain, we aim to take the lead in shaping the wellness ecosystem. This will serve as a catalyst for Samsung C&T to evolve into a lifestyle provider that enhances the quality of life and experience for users within spaces."
