The "Barrier Free Kiosk" equipped with a nationally recognized new technology "TSID Non-Fixed Value Algorithm" was first unveiled at the 2025 Home Care Rehabilitation Welfare Exhibition.

[Able News columnist Seo In-hwan] Under the theme of "A Healthy Life, A Happy Life," the 2025 Reha Homecare Exhibition was held at COEX from May 29 to 31. The exhibition was hosted by the Korea Federation of Disabled Persons Associations, the Korea Medical Device Distribution Association, and WeExpo.

Held at the COEX Convention & Exhibition Center in May every year, 210 companies, universities, institutions, organizations, and research institutes participated in the exhibition. It can be seen that the scale is getting bigger as the events continue every year.

The most distinctive feature of this event is that it invited foreign buyers with the government's support to support the export market of the domestic welfare industry. A business center was operated in the exhibition hall. Regarding the performance, WeExpo CEO Kim Choong-jin said that although the contract was not completed, the reaction from buyers was very hot, and considerable export performance was expected.

Other features include a large increase in booths for health foods and functional cosmetics, artificial intelligence adaptation of caring robots, and career services for Korean oriental doctors. In addition, senior professional companies actively participated, and joint halls such as the operation of a special hall at Kyung Hee University's AgeTech Research Institute, the operation of the joint hall of the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology, and the operation of the joint hall of Seongnam Senior Industrial Innovation Center were introduced. In addition, many local companies and research institutes participated, such as Gimhae Life Industry Promotion Agency.

Pohang Biopark participated in the vocational rehabilitation facility for the disabled. This vocational rehabilitation facility operated by the Sunarang Welfare Foundation produces health functional foods. However, since annual sales are slightly lower than their scale, it is expected that they will be able to compete proudly with companies as vocational rehabilitation facilities for the disabled if they strengthen their sales and public relations.

Starting next year, even private workplaces with 50 square meters or more must install kiosks with accessibility for the disabled, and this policy attracted a large crowd at the YK Auto Tech exhibition hall, which exhibited accessible kiosks.

These days, serious disaster incidents are a problem at construction sites, and there were kiosks where kiosks checked safety accident measures such as safety helmets, received today's task instructions, and provided mutual contact and information in case of an accident. If this kiosk is applied, it is expected that it can be used for identification and education of participants in various events and projects.

In particular, barrier-free kiosks received a lot of attention. The screen of the kiosk can be adjusted (elevated) by the up and down switch, and the identity verification and payment method applied with TSID (variable password identification method) technology provided quick and accurate access to the disabled by simply processing their own proof and payment procedures without complicated procedures. In addition to the magnifying glass function and voice support on the screen, the height was adjusted by automatically detecting the wheelchair.

The kiosk accepts not only credit check guards but also smartphones through NFC contact, and has been applying accessibility guidelines such as hand and arm movement supplementation, response time supplementation and replacement, color identification supplementation (high contrast selection function), hearing supplementation, voice recognition, cognitive ability supplementation, and personal information protection.

The employee call function allows the digital weak to ask for help directly from the employee, and is also equipped with a voice induction device so that the blind can easily find the kiosk location.
