On April 23, the city signed a business agreement with the Gyeonggi Welfare Foundation at the Gyeonggi Welfare Foundation to carry out the Gyeonggi-do Integrated Care Public Contest project.

The "IoT-based Residential Care Service YonginON(溫) Home Care" project provides support for installing "IoT pill dispensers" and "fire and gas sensors" in households in Yongin that require integrated care, specifically targeting seniors aged 65 and older, as well as people with severe disabilities.

Additionally, a monitoring volunteer group will inspect installation environments, provide education on how to use the devices, and evaluate the effectiveness of the project before and after implementation.

The total project budget is 66 million won, and by installing IoT-based smart residential devices in the homes of seniors and people with disabilities, the project is expected to enhance medication management and improve safety in daily life.

A Yongin City official stated, "The 'IoT-based Residential Care Service YonginON(溫) Home Care Project,' which has been selected for the public contest, is a project that can support the stable independence of households with seniors and people with disabilities in need of care. We will work to fill gaps in community care and provide a variety of integrated care services to ensure a stable life for socially vulnerable groups."
