Science, ICT and interior ministries to push disaster safety network smartwatch development
South Korea will develop a smartwatch dedicated to the disaster safety communications network to reduce the equipment burden on responders and deliver key information quickly, the government said. The Ministry of Science and ICT and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety selected the project as a new task under an emergency response research programme and will solicit research organisations. The smartwatch will link to the network and use AI to analyse and summarise communications and send alerts. It will also monitor vital signs and location.
