The importance of modern medicine, which is changing from disease treatment-centered to prevention-centered
In the past, the focus was on treatment after the disease occurred, but modern society has a greater goal in the early detection or prevention of disease. I meet Director Kim Gyeong-cheol, who emphasizes the importance of preventive medicine for modern people. Recently he opened a well-care clinic in addition to a medical education consulting business to popularize future medicine. We had talk about modern medicine that is changing from disease treatment-centered to prevention-centered. I saw.
Q. MEDIEUS Queen: It is great to meet you Director Kim Gyeong-cheol. You are known not only as a doctor but also as an educational entrepreneur leading future medicine in Korea. You recently opened a well-care clinic to popularize future medicine while emphasizing the importance of preventive medicine. Please explain how you led future medicine.
A. Well Care Clinic Director Kim Gyeong-cheol (hereafter Kim Gyeong-cheol) As a specialist in family medicine at Yonsei University, I did a doctorate in aging science. I became interested in nutritional genomics and studied genomes in Boston, which led me to be interested in a new field. Afterward, while I served as the head of the Chaum Anti-Aging Center and as an executive at genomics companies such as Theragen Etex and Eone Diagnostics, I thought that at the age of 100, modern medicine will develop into preventive medicine as well as disease treatment. While treating many patients, or even customers, at Chaum, I found that the desire of people to pursue a healthy life by predicting and preventing their diseases in advance is becoming more and more common.
Currently, for the popularization of future medicine, I am carrying out a well-care clinic where patients can experience directly in hospitals and a well-care consulting education project where more doctors can join together. Wellcare Clinic has already provided many patients with future medicine that predicts diseases and prescribes personalized preventive programs through analysis of data accumulated through the microbiome, anti-aging functional medicine tests, telomeres, and various digital healthcare equipment as well as genome tests. Wellcare Consulting provides professional training to doctors based on the knowledge and data accumulated over the past 10 years and applies it to the field of practice. Even if doctors are interested in future medicine, they cannot prescribe unless they are confident in themselves. I plan to lead innovation in the medical field by establishing a platform ecosystem between doctors and companies.
Q. MEDIEUS QUEEN: Future medicine is still unfamiliar and difficult to us. Please explain in detail.
A. Kim Gyeong-chul: Future medicine can be explained in terms of the 5Ps. Firstly, it is a health-centered preventive medicine that let us think about what should we eat or what kind of exercise we do before we get sick, rather than focusing on treatment after we get sick. Secondly, it is a predictive medicine that you can predict and prevent your disease in advance through genetic testing just as you go about your daily life by looking at the weather forecast. Thirdly, it is personalized medicine. Personalized medication that nutrition and health management are possible based on individual data, away from side effects and unnecessary treatment caused by existing average treatment methods. Fourthly, it is participatory medicine. We are evolving from doctor-led treatment to a patient-centered era in which patients participate together in treatment through daily data (life log data). Fifthly, it is precision medicine that practices precise treatment based on data in preventing and predicting diseases.
Q. MEDIEUS QUEEN: I understand that personal health data-based predictions and personalized disease prevention are future medicine. In fact, I think we're preventing it every year through a medical examination. What's the difference?
A. Kim Gyeong-chul : While modern people do not have any special diseases, many feel that their quality of life is poor as their physical conditions deteriorate due to various reasons such as lack of exercise, lack of sleep, excessive stress, and nutritional imbalance. While your physical health is threatened, if you do not know the exact cause and go about your daily life, the risk of getting a disease increases and aging accelerates. This is why future medicine is so important. In a disease treatment-oriented medical environment, we have done health checkups for early detection and treatment of diseases. It is difficult to use health checkup data as data for prediction and prevention. For example, in the case of patients who cannot sleep properly, it needs to analyze life patterns and identify the cause to prescribe drug treatment or exercise treatment depending on whether it is hormonal imbalance due to aging or autonomic dysfunction. It is important to find and treat the underlying cause, not to end with a prescription for sleeping pills.
Q. MEDIEUS QUEEN: There is no problem detected in the checkup or hospital examination, but many people feel tired for no reason or say that their daily life is difficult. Futuristic medicine seems to be a very interesting treatment method for these people.
A. Kim Kyung-cheol : For healthy aging, it is important to eat well and sleep well. To eat well, you need customized nutrition, and to sleep well, it is important to get rid of stress for a good night's sleep. We are operating 6 programs of ‘Preventive Medicine Clinic’ for life to be healthy. First, an anti-aging immune clinic prescribes energy boosts necessary for energy and hormones that drop with age. Second, sleep-well and the stress-relief program allow you to sleep well without drug dependence and relieve stress by lowering depression and anxiety. Third, a personalized nutrition program is a clinic that provides necessary nutrition/diet based on biomarkers from the human body. Fourth, an intestinal health microbiome program to help those who have intestinal problems due to carbohydrate-centered intake. The intestinal problems also affect the skin and brain. This is a bowel clinic that removes bad bacteria and injects good bacteria. Fifth, the youth smart brain program is a learning clinic that treats children's academic stress, relationship instability, and physical decline so that they can sleep well and focus on their studies. Sixth, the well-care check-up program is not to detect the presence or absence of disease, but a future-oriented data-based well-care check-up program through genetic testing and anti-aging functional testing.
Q. MEDIEUS QUEEN: With core values of anti-aging functional medicine, digital healthcare, and genomic precision medicine, you are accepting and realizing new medicine faster than anyone else. Please tell us if you have any plans or dreams for the future.
A. Kim Gyeong-cheol : I meet a variety of patients. But their wish is one: sleep better and eat better to be healthier and look younger. I have two dreams. It is to become a doctor who contributes to early diagnosis of cancer based on genome and prevents disease based on big data. In addition to patient care and research, we are also participating in government projects for healthcare data analysis. I don't think I have any regrets about my life as a doctor if I can contribute even a little to the early detection and prevention of diseases so that everyone can live a healthy 100 years of life.
