KMI does not treat health check-ups as mere testing, but operates them as an integrated health management system that extends to disease prevention and linkage to early treatment. In particular, based on national and comprehensive check-up systems for the early detection of major cancers such as stomach, colorectal, liver, breast, cervical and lung cancer, KMI provides customized check-up services tailored to each examinee's health condition.
Medical Care and Check-up System
KMI introduced KICS (KMI Intelligent Comprehensive medical Checkup System), Korea's first intelligent health check-up system, and operates the entire process, from check-up booking to result review, on a digital basis.
Customer convenience has been enhanced through electronic medical questionnaires, RFID-based check-up flow management and online result services, which have completely eliminated paper questionnaires and significantly reduced examinee waiting times and result processing times.
In addition, the KMI Central Analysis Center is a specialized laboratory that has simultaneously obtained excellent laboratory accreditation in both laboratory medicine and pathology, and provides accurate and rapid test results based on an advanced Total Laboratory Automation (TLA) system.
KMI operates a variety of in-house diagnostic systems, including blood tests, histology and cytology tests, molecular diagnostic tests and a digital pathology system, and its specialist physicians and laboratory staff provide systematic specimen analysis and interpretation services.
Contribution to Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
Over the past 10 years, KMI has diagnosed more than approximately 20,000 cancers at an early stage, contributing to public health through continuous health check-ups and follow-up care services.
KMI has also established a follow-up care system for those at high risk of chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes after check-ups, and operates check-up programs customized by sex and age to strengthen early detection of diseases and linkage to treatment.
In particular, KMI manages examinees' health data more efficiently through its AI Smart Check-up Report service and Smart Check-up Information System, and continues to advance its ICT-based check-up environment.
Services for International Patients and Global Check-ups
KMI is also actively expanding health check-up services for international patients. It operates health check-up services for foreigners in cooperation with overseas agencies and global networks, and is strengthening the foundation of its global check-up business through its overseas center in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
