According to the agreement, Hwaseong Special City will support the linkage of health and medical services for medically vulnerable populations and the establishment of a community cooperation system. Daewoong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. will support the necessary infrastructure, equipment, and health information for the AI-based health management service, while the organization Gonggan and Nanum will support the implementation of corporate social responsibility projects based on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) management as well as on-site needs discovery and operations.

Dongtan City Hospital will provide resources necessary for service operations and cooperate in linking relevant services so that high-risk health groups identified during the health screening process can receive appropriate health management.

The city plans to connect the expertise and resources of each institution through this agreement to provide more convenient and attentive health management services to citizens who face difficulties in accessing medical services. Additionally, the city will establish a community health management system utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technology.
