Hyanghang-gu Health Center in Hwaseong City Launches AI-Based Child Growth Prediction Service… "How Tall Will My Child Be?"

[Suwon Ilbo=Cheon Ui-hyun] The Hyanghang-gu Health Center in Hwaseong Special City announced on the 24th that it will implement an AI-based smart health management project for children targeting 650 children from 4 kindergartens in the area.

The project involves measuring the height, weight, and body composition of growing children, and analyzing accumulated health big data with AI to predict the child's expected height, weight, and other growth status when they become adults. Based on the prediction results, the health center will identify health risk factors and provide customized health management support.

The health center plans to complete pre-measurement of physical conditions by kindergarten by the 31st, and will hold a parent briefing session next month to provide guidance on the project direction and health management methods.

The measurement will not be a one-time occurrence. The plan is to regularly manage health data to continuously monitor children's growth and weight changes, help establish proper living habits from early childhood, and increase parental attention and engagement.

The health center plans to analyze the effectiveness of the project and gradually expand the target population and programs.

An official from the health center stated, "This is a project we are launching for the first time in Hwaseong City," and added, "After observing parents' reactions, we plan to hold a roundtable discussion with parents in September."
