WINNERS GALLERY

Seoul National University Hospital Gangnam Center (“Gangnam Center”) has won the grand prize in the Healthcare System category at the 15th Korea National Brand Awards for the 11th consecutive year. Gangnam Center received high praise for △ patient-centered screening service and △ leading trends in future-oriented healthcare services utilizing information and communication technology.

In 2019, as the first single screening institution, it implemented a smart screening system without ‘charts, tags, or paper’. In 2020, it supported personal mobile questionnaire completion and result inquiry services through the ‘Health Pilot’ app.

Since its opening, Gangnam Center has reduced inefficient, meaningless, and repetitive screening and instead garnered attention for its unique personalized screening program design. The customized screening program is structured based on medical guidelines reflecting △test items recommended by attending physician, △tests for newly developed symptoms, and △the individual needs of patients. Especially from 2020, an algorithm has been developed to suggest optimized screening programs based on accumulated screening Big Data, leading to high satisfaction rates.

Gangnam Center systematically digitizes and manages vast health diagnostic data to fulfill its role as a leader in clinical preventive medicine as well as health screening. It conducts multidimensional research and publishes over 100 SCI-grade academic papers annually.

The excellent screening services and systems of Gangnam Center are also recognized overseas. In May 2022, Gangnam Center signed a business agreement in the health screening field with Vinmec International Hospital in Vietnam. Subsequently, it conducts local operations, including △personnel dispatch, △medical staff training, and △operational consulting. Director Jo Jeong-yeon stated, ‘Gangnam Center will provide the best medical services with a high reliability in diagnosis’.
