Seoul uses robot and AI technology to protect the health of elderly people - South Korea

As we approach the super-aging era, Seoul announced on the 6th that it will use artificial intelligence (AI), robots, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to fill gaps in elderly care and provide more detailed and wide-ranging services.
I made it clear. First, last year we disseminated 430 companion robots to protect the health and safety of elderly people living alone who are in dire need of care, and this year we will support an additional 50 robots. The city of Seoul has implemented safety management equipment.
Continue monitoring of this robot until Two incontinence care robots that automatically handle defecation and cleaning for bedridden patients who have difficulty moving are being tested at Seoul City Sanatorium.
. In addition, after verifying its effectiveness, the number will be expanded to 11 units in the second half of the year. The robot, which supports cognitive and upper limb rehabilitation, is scheduled to be tested at four nursing homes. One more location added in the second half of the year
There will be a total of 5 locations. The company also plans to test run 10 wearable robots that can help prevent musculoskeletal diseases by supporting up to 15 kg of muscle strength when worn.
A smart welfare center that utilizes digital technology to support the leisure of the elderly will also be opened. The city of Seoul includes Nowon-gu and Towon-gu.
The elderly welfare center in Bong (Dobong-gu) will be renovated into 'New Smart Senior Place' and 'Smart Healthy Lounge' in May and July, respectively.
The Smart Welfare Center has a smart learning area, a smart playground, and a smart health facility where you can learn various things using digital devices.
It consists of a recreational area, etc. Each space features a care robot equipped with brain-enhancing content, digital drawing using an electronic blackboard and tablet PC, and various cognitive ability improvement programs.
Smart tables that provide programs will be installed. 105 recreational areas in 11 autonomous regions will be transformed into 'smart senior halls'. Due to the nature of Keirodo Hall, which does not have a manager, there may be concerns about safety.
Smart home systems equipped with sensor-based functions such as controlling electricity, gas, and water usage, activating fire and leakage alarms, and detecting entry and exit will be popularized.
We are also preparing to operate a 'visiting digital experience bus' together with the Seoul Digital Foundation. In the second half of this year, we plan to visit 50 facilities frequently visited by the elderly.
ing. Jeong Sang-hoon, director of Seoul's Welfare Policy Office, said, ``Introducing smart technology in the care field in the super-aging age is not a choice but a necessity.It not only helps seniors maintain their safety and health, but also allows them to have a rich leisure time.''
We will increase support by integrating various smart devices to support people and maintain a healthy retirement lifestyle."
