(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Seo Mi-sook = Samsung C&T Construction Division announced on the 15th that it has launched ‘Wellfy’, an artificial intelligence (AI) wellness solution for the health of apartment residents.

Samsung C&T's Wellfy is a compound word of 'Wellness' and 'Comfy', and is an online and offline AI wellness solution that helps modern people manage their health in various spaces where they spend their daily lives, such as residences and workplaces.

To organically combine with space, Samsung C&T launched a dedicated mobile app and an offline base called 'Wellpie Station'.

Welphy Station was created through verification with startups directly discovered through Samsung C&T's open innovation program 'FutureScape'.

It consists of 'Wellpy Body', which measures 37 health indicators including blood pressure, stress, body composition, and skin diagnosis, 'Wellpy Food', a micro store where you can immediately purchase personalized food, and 'Wellpy Mind', an immersive space to relieve daily stress.

In addition, personal health data collected through the dedicated mobile app 'Wellfi' is accumulated and managed, and hyper-personalized services are provided based on this.

It is characterized by being equipped with a ‘chronic disease prediction AI model’ based on Kangbuk Samsung Hospital’s extensive health examination data and professional medical knowledge.

Samsung C&T plans to introduce the newly developed Welphy for the first time at the Raemian Trini One apartment complex in Seocho-gu, Seoul, and actively use it for worker safety at construction sites such as the new construction of the NCSoft RDI Center in Pangyo.

Samsung C&T Vice President Cho Hye-jeong (head of DxP Division) said, "Construction companies' core competitiveness is not only building buildings, but also providing wellness experiences for people who use the space," and added, "We will continue to lead the integrated wellness ecosystem by strengthening open cooperation with various partners such as professional medical institutions, healthcare startups, and food and beverage companies."
