KB Life is expanding its senior care services by incorporating advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics.
The company announced on October 28 that it held the 'KB Life AgeTech Lab 2026 Conference' on October 27 at the KB Life Tower in Gangnam, Seoul, under the theme 'A New Experience in an Aging Society.'
The event was organized to share research and practical results from AgeTech and to propose new senior life care models.
AgeTech refers to industries and services that utilize advanced technologies like AI, information and communication technology (ICT), and robotics to support healthy and independent living for the elderly.
KB Life established the AgeTech Lab in January of this year, focusing on technology discovery and validation in the smart living and smart care sectors.
During the conference, KB Life introduced the operational direction and roadmap of the AgeTech Lab, which aims to connect the discovery and validation of senior care technologies to the actual implementation of services. The plan includes linking technology companies with care and housing facilities to apply verified technologies in care services.
The conference also featured a presentation on the technology adoption status at KB Golden Life Care and a demonstration of physical AI. This included a data-driven care model that analyzes information from care settings to create care reports, as well as a support model for care facilities using LG Electronics' humanoid robot 'LG Cloid.'
KB Life is committed to developing services that can be utilized in real-world settings by incorporating feedback from seniors and care workers.
KB Life CEO Jeong Mun-cheol stated, "Introducing technology into the care market provides safer and more attentive care for the elderly while alleviating the repetitive and strenuous tasks of caregivers. We will collaborate organically with various technology partners centered around the AgeTech Lab."
