SEOUL, Oct 17 Asia Pulse - A new remote health care service "Medivill" will be available to KT Freetel and KT M.com Co. mobile phone subscribers whose numbers start with 016 and 018 next month. The mobile phone providers teamed up with Korea Information and Communications Inc. to provide the service, KIC said Monday.
Communication systems, such as broadband lines, cable TV networks and telephone lines, relay information collected by biosignal detection terminals to the Medivill Center, which will analyze the data to determine if medical care is necessary. Test results are sent to users' phones via short message service.
The terminal automatically runs an electrocardiogram and checks blood pressure and heart rate. The user can input manually body temperature, weight, waist size and blood sugar level. Some 70 readings can be input.
The three partners will conduct trial runs for two weeks and plan to expand the service area to the Internet using apartments, silver towns, pharmaceuticals and hospitals.
KT Freetel and KT M.com said the service will cost about 30,000 won (US$26.65) per month.
