The service, called 'Mobile Healthcare,' aims to help residents who face economic or time constraints in managing their health to develop healthy habits in their daily lives.

Participants can download the 'Chaeum Health' app, enter their biometric information, and receive non-face-to-face health consultations on topics such as diet, exercise, and lifestyle habits for six months. Depending on their health status, devices such as activity trackers may be provided, and up to three free health checkups are available during the service period. Gwangsan District is recruiting participants until the 25th. For more details, contact the Usan Health Living Support Center.
