Life care platform company Connecting the Dots (CEO Hee-jung Kim) announced on the 22nd that it was finally selected for the 'Micro DIPS (Micro Deeptech Incubator Project for Startup)' project, which is part of the 'Super Gap Startup 1000+ Project' hosted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups.
Micro DIPS is a program that identifies early-stage startups with high technological competitiveness and growth potential in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and deep tech. It provides comprehensive support, including commercialization funding, technology advancement, market acquisition, and global expansion. With this selection, Connecting the Dots plans to further enhance its Care Intelligence technology, currently applied to its childcare platform, "Jjakgak-eo," and accelerate its global expansion into the care, education, and senior care markets.
Connecting the Dots' Care Intelligence is an AI technology developed based on extensive, long-term accumulated early childhood care data. This technology: ▲structures and quantifies field data to systematically collect and formalize diverse interactions and utterances in care situations; ▲applies custom Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology specialized for the utterances and context of young children to enhance AI accuracy; and ▲enables continuous technological advancement through real-time feedback and a human-in-the-loop infrastructure.
The company explained that this technological foundation differentiates it from competitors and that it is expanding its portfolio to include senior care solutions to address the aging population. Specifically, in the senior care sector, the company is developing an AI system that provides conversation-based cognitive analysis and personalized cognitive intervention content recommendations for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia prevention.
Additionally, Connecting the Dots plans to accelerate its entry into global markets, including Vietnam, Japan, and English-speaking countries, by expanding its AI model, which reflects the speech characteristics of children and seniors based on Korean, into multilingual environments.
Kim Hee-jung, CEO of Connecting the Dots, said, “This selection as Micro DIPS is recognition of the potential for overcoming the structural limitations of the care industry through technology and the expansion of K-Care technology across the entire life cycle.” She added, “We will continue to build a care model based on technological standardization and ethical responsibility in line with the era of AI transition.”
