Samsung Life Insurance Co. announced on Monday that it has launched an extensive dementia insurance policy that covers all stages from mild cognitive impairment to dementia.

The product is the industry’s first policy that extends coverage to mild cognitive impairment and early-stage dementia.

The care robot features a training program designed to prevent the progression of mild cognitive impairment to dementia and delay the worsening of symptoms.
