Pyeongtaek City introduces an innovative approach to dementia screening for the elderly population starting May through July. The program, titled ‘Gyeonggi AI Easy Dementia Check Service,’ aims to assess the risk of dementia using artificial intelligence (AI). This can be easily done through a one-minute speech test on a smartphone.
Following the test, individuals identified as normal will receive guidance on dementia prevention measures. Those considered at risk will be encouraged to visit their nearest Dementia Relief Center. The service is even designed to facilitate immediate phone connection for convenience.
The ease of this service is highlighted by its accessibility; no app installation is required. One can simply make a call or scan a QR code from promotional materials. This service does not necessitate ownership of a smartphone – family members or friends can assist in the testing process.
A representative from the Pyeongtaek Dementia Relief Center expressed their optimism, hoping that early detection of dementia risk through proper treatment and management can slow disease progression and enhance the quality of life for patients and their families.
