Dtonic will lead two key demonstration tasks as part of this project:
Emergency Medical Safety Map Service:
This service will gather real-time transportation and wait time data to address the region's challenges in healthcare accessibility, particularly in rural and medically underserved areas.Urban Flood Prediction and Analysis Service:
This service will provide advanced flood prediction capabilities to better manage and prevent disaster situations, addressing the frequent flooding issues in the region.
Through this project, Dtonic plans to expand its Smart City Data Hub solutions across South Korea, applying its expertise in public healthcare and disaster management to urban safety and broader smart city challenges.
"The solution to urban healthcare and disaster management depends on how quickly and accurately we can analyze and utilize urban data. This project will not only introduce new technology but will serve as a critical infrastructure to improve the quality of life for Chungbuk residents.
