Step 3 Problem of adult children not knowing the administrative, medical, and financial procedures to handle immediately after hospitalization

Problem

When adults in their 50s face a sudden hospitalization of their 70-80-year-old parents (fractures, stroke, heart disease, etc.), there are 10-15 administrative procedures to handle from the day of admission through post-discharge—private insurance claims, special illness category registration, caregiver arrangements, long-term care grade application, medical certificate issuance, etc.—but no single source provides systematic guidance. Hospital admissions offices only explain their own procedures, and insurance company call centers only handle insurance claims. As a result, people commonly miss special illness category registration deadlines (losing millions of won annually) or omit required documents for insurance claims, requiring repeat hospital visits.

Solution

Users select the hospitalization scenario (disease type, surgery status, insurance type) and the system auto-generates a checklist timeline in order: Day of admission → Day 3 → Week 1 → Discharge day → Post-discharge. Each item includes required documents, submission offices, deadlines, and phone numbers. Completing a check automatically prompts the next step.

Target: Ages 48-58, with surviving parents aged 70+, living separately from parents, with no or only one prior experience with parent hospitalization, dual-income with limited time

Revenue Model: Basic checklist free. Disease-specific detailed guidebook (including special illness category and long-term care grade applications) PDF ₩3,000 (~$2.25). Caregiver matching service partnership commission.
