Problem

People aged 55-65 want to complete an advance directive for life-sustaining treatment, but the psychological barrier of bringing up 'end-of-life talk' with family is immense. While the official form is available on the National Agency for Management of Life-Sustaining Treatment website, there is zero guidance on how to start the conversation with a spouse or children—what order to follow, which questions to ask, or how to reach consensus when opinions differ. As a result, the advance directive registration rate is below 2% of all adults, and actual end-of-life situations frequently lead to family conflicts and legal disputes.

Solution

(1) 'Life-Sustaining Treatment Conversation Starter Guide' — provides step-by-step conversation scenarios and question lists tailored to family composition (couple only / with adult children). (2) Each scenario includes a consensus-building framework for when opinions differ (preferences → values → priority alignment). (3) Input conversation outcomes to auto-generate an advance directive draft and get directions to the nearest registration facility (public health center, tertiary hospital).

Target: Ages 55-65, aware of the need for life-sustaining treatment decisions for parent or self, has at least one adult child, does not know how to start the conversation
Revenue Model: Basic conversation guide + question list free. Customized scenario (by family composition) + directive draft generation at 4,900 KRW (~$3.70). Full family workshop kit (printable PDF + facilitator guide) at 9,900 KRW (~$7.50).
