It’s a non-face-to-face service, but you have to go through a face-to-face procedure to For systematic health care, health groups should be classified by checking their health status in advance, supporting Bluetooth-based health measurement devices, and consulting health care on mobile phones, so they need to know how to use the device. Since we have to communicate with the app (application), only the elderly with intelligent terminals (smartphones) can receive the service.The elderly health care service is basically for the elderly aged 65 or older (even those aged 60 to 64 can apply within the limit). Gimje Public Health Center was only for residents of Gimje, so a reporter living in Seoul could not officially register. So I registered temporarily and only experienced the service registration procedure. Be visiting health care staff to check the current health condition and how to use the app ‘Today health’, mobile phones and health, using a measuring apparatus. It took about 40 minutes even though several steps, such as height and weight, were omitted.It was not difficult to connect health measurement devices, mobile phones, and install apps distributed to the elderly because the health center staff helped.Health measurement devices include a smart band (activity meter) worn on the wrist, an automatic blood pressure gauge, a blood glucose meter, and a scale. In the case of the elderly living alone who have difficulty managing their health on their own, artificial intelligence speakers are also provided to relieve loneliness and allow emergency contact with their guardians. Gimje Health Center in Jeollabuk-do is conducting a preliminary health inspection before providing health care services for the elderly using artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT).First, I registered my name and residential number, and then checked my health status briefly. After entering the height and weight figures, the grip and balance of the hand were measured. The grip force was measured twice with a digital grip force meter, and the highest value was written. Equilibrium measures the time you stand on one foot with your eyes closed.First, I registered my name and residential number, and then checked my health status briefly. After entering the height and weight figures, the grip and balance of the hand were measured. The grip force was measured twice with a digital grip force meter, and the highest value was written. Equilibrium measures the time you stand on one foot with your eyes closed.I took my blood sugar and blood pressure and was asked about my eating habits. To find out how much meat, fish, vegetables, beans, dairy products, etc. are consumed a week, I used it as a standard for eating more than five days a week. There were many questions about eating habits. I checked for chronic diseases such as usual exercise, myocardial infarction, and arthritis, got up from the chair, traveled 3m away twice, and then took a test to sit back in the chair.

Cognitive ability measurement was presented with three words and checked a few minutes later, and there was also a test to indicate time by drawing 12 numbers of watches, hour hand, and minute hand. At that time, I drew 3 p.m., which is similar to the time, but when I think about it later, the health center staff told me it was 10:10, but I couldn’t pay attention to it.After all the pre-inspection, he scored the measured values and was judged to be in the “all-weak” group. The elderly are classified into three groups: health-prepair-weakness, and this classification is closely related to the tasks presented by public health centers in the future.Senior citizens are given some tasks to maintain and improve their health. It includes taking medicine on time, walking every day, going out every day, measuring blood pressure every day, measuring blood sugar regularly, taking three meals a day, drinking enough water every day, and measuring weight, depending on the individual, walking 30 minutes a day, walking 10,000 steps a day, and drinking eight cups of water a day.You need to know how to use health measurement devices such as blood glucose meters and blood pressure meters to carry out the task, and you need to activate the “Today’s Health” app. I thought it could be a little complicated for the elderly.Hong Soon-hwa, head of the visiting health team, said, “There are elderly people who cannot adapt and return their devices, but most of them adapt quickly,” adding, “It is surprisingly simple to give one device to those who are in need and increase the number of devices they use.”Blood pressure, blood sugar, and weight should be measured by the elderly themselves, but even if you don’t write down the figures, just enter the “Today’s Health” app and press the confirmation button, and the figures will be connected to the smart band and sent to the health center. You can set up the app and press the Complete button when the assignment of the day appears. Only health-related information is sent to the public health center, but personal location information is not exposed.Don’t forget to wear a smart band with morning weather and charge it before going to bed in the evening. Smart bands play a role in connecting health measurement devices and smartphones, and you can check health-related figures at a glance. Alarms can be set so that blood sugar can be taken if it falls below the standard and are also linked to general messages on smartphones.Currently, in Korea, local governments and the central government are intensively introducing and implementing pilot projects through smart devices for the health management of the elderly through artificial intelligence. Accordingly, the Seoul Metropolitan Government also selected preferred businesses in October and introduced their capabilities to the evaluation committee members of Info Mining, a proven company that has already been introduced a lot.However, the Seoul Metropolitan Government gave several more evaluation points to companies other than infomining, which were verified and even the public officials in charge were recognized as excellent companies. It is questionable what evaluation is for and whether the purpose of the project is correct.Although Info Mining already knows that various companies are interested in and linked to the industry’s performance and verification, the city’s policy and purpose are unknown if other companies (not verified) lead the healthcare business.

The platform provided by Sewon Intelligence monitors health status 24 hours a day in real time using wearable sensors and sensors in products in preparation for the era of new normal, such as non-face-to-face, telecommuting, and online lectures.

It is a real-time health monitoring system that informs and manages users of health status monitoring results and provides measured data to doctors when visiting hospitals to enable more accurate diagnosis. Sewon Intelligence is a company that is responsible for preventive health by continuously monitoring personal health anywhere, anytime. How well do you know your sleeping habits? In fact, it is not easy to grasp various habits during sleep by yourself, such as snoring badly while sleeping, waking up frequently, or moving your body unconsciously while sleeping. However, in order to maintain a pleasant physical condition during the day, it is necessary to identify sleep patterns and tame lifestyle habits accordingly.

Of course, those who cannot sleep well due to sleep diseases such as insomnia, REM sleep exercise disorder, and sleep apnea need a thorough examination. For an accurate diagnosis, the hospital conducts polysomnography. But this test takes a lot of time and money. Since it is an inspection performed while sleeping, it usually takes from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. the next day, including the time to attach the inspection equipment to the whole body. The waiting time for the examination is also considerable. When patients were crowded, it sometimes took more than six months to wait. Although the burden on patients has decreased since the insurance was applied, the cost of testing is still considerable in the late 100,000 won range. In addition, the polysomnography test is covered by insurance only for patients with sleep apnea, so they cannot receive insurance benefits when they are tested for insomnia or REM sleep exercise disorder.

If you are simply curious about your sleeping habits or want to prevent diseases, you don’t have to take a polysomnography test. However, it is true that there is no suitable device to measure sleep activities on its own. Of course, there are wearable devices such as Fitbit and Apple Watch on the market, but the information provided by these devices is less accurate. In other words, it is not highly correlated with the polysomnography results. While polysomnography comprehensively measures and diagnoses various information such as brain waves, eye movements, electromyography, heart rate information, and breathing, this device is based only on heart rate information.

In addition, there is a disadvantage that existing wearable devices must always be worn on the wrist.In order to measure sleeping habits, you need to accumulate data for a long time, but it is cumbersome to wear a device every day when you sleep. Sleep tech monitoring company (Sewon Intelligence) has not only advanced contactless breathing measurement technology to compensate for this inconvenience and low accuracy of existing wearable devices, but also introduced artificial intelligence (AI) in breathing sound, abdomen and chest movement information.There is various information available through actual respiration measurements. If you can identify breathing during sleep, you can also identify symptoms related to sleep diseases such as snoring and sleep apnea to some extent in advance. This is because when you snore or can’t fall into deep sleep, your breathing changes or gets tangled. Sewon Intelligence’s AI technology allows users to estimate their sleeping habits through micro-recorded breathing sounds during sleep, that is, breathing sounds, on smartphones or AI speakers. Based on the Wi-Fi wireless signal, it also captures the movement of the user’s abdomen and chest.

In order to obtain relevant information, polysomnography requires test equipment to be attached to the chest and abdomen, but if you use the technology, you can measure it at home without contact. Above all, Sewon Intelligence has significantly increased the accuracy of measurement and analysis using AI technology. This is the result of elaborately learning the subtle differences that vary from stage to stage of sleep with the A-slip AI device next to it during the actual polysomnography. In fact, the technology possessed by Sewon Intelligence is nearly 90 percent consistent with the results of the polysomnography test.

This is a high level of accuracy compared to Fitbit, which is considered the most accurate device in academia with wearable sleep analysis. You don’t even have to wear it. As I said earlier, continuous sleep monitoring is needed to improve sleep habits. Even after being diagnosed with sleep disease, constant management is essential. Sewon Intelligence aims to take the lead in providing easy and comfortable, but accurate measurements in a non-contact manner during long sleep hours. Just like checking your weight on a scale, I look forward to the day when home sleeping devices that can check your sleep activities from time to time can be widely used.
