As we live longer, we also want to live healthier. It might be arguable but South Korea seems to have improved much in terms of wealth but still not sure whether the quality of life has equally improved.

Alarmed by this prolonged fatigue and stress, the national physical examination rate soared to 68% in 2017 from 48% in 2008. In other words, people’s awareness on importance of ‘preventive medicine’ is increasing rapidly. Reading the market demand in speed, more medical centers also are offering comprehensive medical check-up services.

Tech-wise, the Daon Health Care Center’s innovative SMART System automatically saves the check-up information through RFID recognition system which provided to patients with an electric tag worn on the wrist. Also, the Smart Web Service lets the patients conveniently check their reservations and results on desktop, tablet and smartphone.

As a health check-up specialized medical center, Daon Health Care Center offers more check-up services than university hospitals. For those who are in need of hospitalization, Daon Health Care Center connects them to 15 university hospitals including Seoul National University Hospital, Asan Medical Center and Severance Hospital Gangnam, according to each specialized area.
