Present and Future of AI-IoT-Based Healthcare Services for Senior Citizens in Local Communities: A Review of a South Korean Government Digital Healthcare Initiatives

Abstract

South Korea is promoting digital healthcare services in the public sector. One notable initiative is the "artificial intelligence and the internet of things (AI-IoT)-based healthcare project for senior citizens", which was implemented by the Korea Health Promotion Institute (KHPI). This project utilized an IoT-based digital healthcare service that integrates information technology and screen-based AI speaker functions. Services through this project are intended for senior citizens aged 65 years (or older) who face challenges in visiting public healthcare institutions owing to limitations on outdoor activities, especially in the post-coronavirus 2019 era. This article shares the recent outcomes of this project and outlines the mid-to-long-term development strategies for this style of South Korean digital healthcare initiatives.
