Neighborhood Senior Center Program Comparison

Derivation Chain

Step 1 Singapore President's visit and aging policy discussions
Step 2 Accessibility issues in local welfare infrastructure for Korea's aging population
Step 3 Programs at welfare centers, community service centers, and lifelong education centers are scattered across institutions, making comparison impossible

Problem

For people aged 55-65 looking for programs at neighborhood welfare centers, community service centers, and lifelong education centers after retirement, they have to visit each institution's website individually. In Seoul alone, there are about 480 welfare centers and 424 community service centers, each posting programs in different formats. Even the same 'smartphone usage' course varies in level, time, and cost across institutions, making comparison impossible. As a result, they only check the one closest to home and miss out on more suitable programs.

Solution

Enter your address on the web, and it will compare currently open programs at welfare centers, community service centers, and lifelong education centers within a 3km radius, categorized by health, IT, hobbies, certifications, and social participation. It shows level (beginner/intermediate/advanced), day and time, tuition, and remaining seats on one screen, and you can set alerts for programs of interest.

Target: Aged 55-65, recently retired or planning to retire within 1-2 years, highly interested in social activities and self-development but with limited time for information searching, residing in the Seoul metropolitan area.
Revenue Model: Completely free for users. Provides student inflow analysis reports to welfare centers and educational institutions (B2G SaaS, 100,000 KRW/month, approx. $75). Later, a premium recommendation service based on program reviews and ratings.
