In particular, this technology has contributed to significantly reducing the workload of visiting nurses and increasing the efficiency of health care. Through this, the district has strengthened the self-health care capacity of the elderly and supported the promotion of health of local residents.
The core of the business is to help seniors manage their own health by checking their health status in real time through Bluetooth-based digital devices and the ‘Today’s Health’ app. Through this, seniors can easily record and monitor data such as blood pressure and blood sugar, and the district provides customized health management services based on this.
In addition to this award, Yeongdeungpo-gu is also promoting various welfare projects that comprehensively support the health and safety of vulnerable groups by utilizing smart voice recognition switches, AI-based health check-up services, and smart plugs. These efforts are greatly contributing to improving the quality of life of local residents.
Yeongdeungpo-gu Mayor Choi Ho-kwon said, “This award is a valuable result of our efforts in senior health management and utilizing digital technology,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to expand healthcare projects utilizing smart technologies such as AI and IoT so that all residents can live healthy and happy lives.”
