In order for Gyeonggi Province to inform the world of the value and corporate status of Pangyo Techno Valley, an ‘Online Meet Up’ was held with Hoang Long Vo, editor-in-chief of Vietnam’s telecommunications company ‘Vietnamplus’, through video conference on the 27th of last month. proceeded.
Mr. Mind Co., Ltd. (CEO Kim Dong-won) participated in the ‘2022 Pangyo Monthly Online Meet Up (hereinafter referred to as online meetup)’ held on the 27th of last month.
Mr. Mind is a company that manufactures and supplies artificial intelligence care robots to care for the physical and emotional health of the elderly. Established in 2017, it has been supplying artificial intelligence care robots to 37 local governments and institutions across the country. We also produce artificial intelligence sculptures as well as artificial intelligence care robots.
Currently, there are 9.02 million elderly people in Korea (17.5% of the total population), of which 1.7 million people live in households with elderly people living alone and 850,000 people with dementia live there. Korea has already entered an aging society in 2017, with 14.2% of the total population being elderly. In addition, the elderly population, which was 447,065 in 2021, is expected to increase to 481,521 in 2022, and the pace is expected to accelerate, with 20.3% of the total population expected to be counted as the elderly in 2025, entering a super-aging society.
Mr. Mind explains that it has developed an artificial intelligence care robot for single seniors who are in the blind spot of welfare, or who are experiencing financial and emotional difficulties.
The artificial intelligence care robot was developed to enable everyday and emotional conversations, breaking away from the existing AI system that focuses on delivering commands and information. By learning 1.2 million elderly speech data and 100,000 stories for artificial intelligence learning, we created an AI that can communicate with the elderly, and also provide various contents using NFC cards.
In addition, it is equipped with OX quizzes and dementia diagnosis services to prevent dementia, and you can also enjoy playing media (trot, children’s songs, old stories, etc.) that will reduce emotional loneliness and solitude, and sleep-inducing music content for quality sleep.
Kim Dong-won, CEO of Mr. Mind, said, “We moved away from the existing robot image and adopted a cute character image. “When collaborating with local governments, we design them with local government characters to increase intimacy with the elderly,” he said. “Through exchanges and cooperation with several startups in Pangyo, we were able to discover what was needed and what could be improved in our services. “Through this, we will aim to stabilize the psychology of the elderly by producing a more improved care robot than the existing service,” he said.
Meanwhile, ‘Online Meetup’ is one of Pangyo Techno Valley’s promotional projects and is an event to exchange opinions online with startup clusters around the world on major issues of Pangyo Techno Valley companies. In particular, last July’s meeting was an opportunity to introduce companies in Pangyo and provided a venue to introduce new technologies of various startups.
