The conference was organized to share the results of AgeTech research and demonstrations conducted at senior care facilities with innovative technology companies, and to present new senior life-care models using advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics. KB Life plans to expand the AgeTech ecosystem to support healthy, independent lives for seniors.

According to KB Life, Kim Cheolju, chairman of the Korea Life Insurance Association, attended the event, reviewed the vision and key technologies of the AgeTech Lab, and encouraged innovation and development in the senior life-care industry in response to the super-aged society.

The event introduced KB Life’s AgeTech Lab vision and roadmap. The company outlined plans to build a system that spans the discovery and testing of senior care technologies through their integration into actual services, and to connect technology companies with care and residential facilities so that proven technologies can be developed into senior life-care services.

KB Golden Life Care also presented an update on technology adoption and demonstrated Physical AI. The presentation introduced various uses of technology at care facilities and senior housing, and showed how AI can operate in real-world settings through physical devices such as robots, with the potential to improve care quality and operational efficiency at facilities.

Key examples included a data-driven care model that systematically analyzes information generated during care and turns it into care reports; a model for supporting work at care facilities using LG Electronics’ humanoid robot “LG CLOiD”; and a daily living support model at senior welfare housing using Everybot’s AI care robot “Kebi.” These examples demonstrated the range of areas where AgeTech can be applied, from using care information and supporting staff in their work to assisting seniors with daily activities.

Following the conference, KB Life plans to support technology developers and care service providers in sharing the needs of care settings and their experience applying technologies, and in expanding collaboration. It also plans to actively incorporate feedback from seniors and care workers to develop service models that can be used and experienced in real-world settings, rather than focusing solely on the technologies themselves.

“Introducing care-related technologies means providing seniors with safer, more attentive care and easing repetitive, demanding work for care workers,” said Jeong Muncheol, president of KB Life. “With the AgeTech Lab at the center, KB Life will work closely with a range of technology partners and fulfill its social responsibility so that seniors can lead dignified and fulfilling lives.”

Since opening the AgeTech Lab in January, KB Life has pursued the discovery and testing of technologies to support seniors’ health and safe, independent daily lives, with a focus on smart living and smart care. The company plans to expand collaboration with academia, industry, research institutions, and businesses to validate technologies that can be used in real-life environments and care settings, and to continue developing related services.
