2022년 기준, 독거노인 가구 수 176만 가구 시대에 노인을 위한 케어 서비스가 필요하다. 고령화 사회에 맞춰, 노인 케어 서비스가 많이 출시되었으나 비대면 케어 서비스는 부족한 면이 있다. 비대면 케어 서비스의 경우, 특히 비싼 값에 판매된다는 단점과 로봇과 소통해야 한다는 단점이 있다. 이를 보완하여 저렴한 가격에 생명력을 지닌 식물을 이용해 소통을 증진시켜 우울감 해소를 돕는다면, 노인 비대면 케어 체계에 큰 도움을 줄 것이라고 확신한다. 이에 따라, 본 연구에서는 식물와 어플리케이션을 이용하여 저가격 보급화가 가능한 비대면 복지 시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 구체적으로, 화분이라는 대화 매개체를 통해 어르신들의 대화 증진을 유도하여 우울증 완화에 도움을 주고자 한다. 또한, 시스템을 통해 수집되는 일상 데이터를 활용해 이상징후를 파악하여 고독사 예방을 위한 후속 조치를 취할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 위의 시스템을 통해 복지 사각지대를 해소하며, 어르신들의 정신 건강 증진에 기여할 수 있을거라 기대한다.
