SK Intellix Expands AI Wellness Robot 'NAMUHX' into Senior Care Market

Signed Four-Party Business Agreement
Expand NAMUHX Deployment by Leveraging Nursing Facility Networks

SK Intellix said on November 6 that it had signed a four-party business agreement (MOU) with Daesang Wellife, Hangang System, and Rexsoft to jointly develop and pilot senior care solutions based on its artificial intelligence (AI) wellness robot, NAMUHX.

The agreement aims to address the shortage of care workers and reduce the workload at nursing facilities as society ages rapidly, while improving the quality of care services on site. The four companies plan to draw on their respective technologies and business networks to jointly develop and pilot AI-based senior care solutions suitable for use at nursing facilities, and to explore opportunities for commercialization, including joint sales.

Under the agreement, SK Intellix will coordinate the overall direction of the pilot project and lead the initiative, including supplying NAMUHX and participating in service planning. In particular, it will use the nursing facility networks of Daesang Wellife and Hangang System to expand the deployment base for NAMUHX, and will enhance features tailored to senior care based on the results of on-site proof-of-concept (PoC) trials and customer feedback.

The four companies plan to pilot features needed at nursing facilities, including fall detection and alerts and automated patrol logs, using NAMUHX, and develop the offering into a senior care solution covering health, the environment, safety, and nutrition management.

Kim Hyeongjin, head of the NAMUHX Business Division at SK Intellix, said, "This agreement will expand the areas in which NAMUHX can be used for senior care and provide an opportunity to validate services needed at actual nursing facilities. We will enhance our senior care solutions by drawing on each company's expertise and business networks, and strengthen our business competitiveness in the related market."
