Kakao Pay Insurance has introduced a new service called 'Health Alert' that analyzes disease and environmental risks and notifies users via KakaoTalk.
On September 8, Kakao Pay Insurance announced the launch of its 'Our Child's Health Alert' service, which provides health risk information tailored to the user's location and the age of their children.
The service utilizes public data from the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, the Korea Meteorological Administration, and the Ministry of Environment to analyze disease and environmental risks. Users will receive alerts via KakaoTalk when risk levels increase.
The diseases monitored include hand-foot-and-mouth disease, colds, influenza, gastroenteritis, and pneumonia, which are common among children or tend to spike seasonally. The service assesses risk based on a comparison of patient numbers over the past 12 months with data from the same month and the previous month, identifying significant increases as warning signs.
It also incorporates air quality data, including fine dust, ultrafine dust, and ozone levels, as well as weather data such as ultraviolet radiation, temperature, temperature fluctuations, and humidity. If the combined risk score from disease and environmental data exceeds a certain threshold, a notification will be sent via KakaoTalk.
Users can search for Kakao Pay Insurance in the Kakao Pay app or on the KakaoTalk Kakao Pay home page, select 'Receive Alerts,' and register their location, number of children, and birth years.
A representative from Kakao Pay Insurance stated, "Beyond preparing for unexpected risks, it is also the role of insurance to help identify risks in advance. We will expand services that allow users to check everyday risks using data and technology."
