KT life saving TV

Background

In the last ten years, the number of senior citizens living alone has doubled in South Korea, reaching 1.38 million in 2015, leaving just one social worker for every twenty-seven senior citizens. Depression and loneliness are common feelings among them which often affect their physical condition. In most cases, their greatest fear is to die alone. Even some corpses of seniors died alone in their house were not found until several months, sometimes more than years after death. As a national telecommunication service provider, KT decided to improve this situation by adding an innovative approach to their previously retained service network.
