How to Get a Relaxed Health Check-up｜Parents' Check-up, Time Required, Fasting Hours, Hotel Stay Health Check-up

As the new year begins, ‘health check-ups’ naturally come to mind. Many people decide to arrange health check-ups for their parents or search again for comprehensive health check-ups they've been putting off. However, once you start looking into it, conditions like fasting for the check-up, the time required, and early morning appointments often catch your eye first.

When you consider the schedule of having to move early in the morning on an empty stomach, dedicating an entire day, and not being able to drive after a sleep endoscopy, you might think, ‘Why is a check-up for my health so complicated and burdensome?’ As a result, more and more people are now considering not just the check-up items, but also the way they undergo the check-up.

Reasons why health check-ups are burdensome

When thinking about health check-ups, most people recall similar scenarios:

✔ A schedule that starts at dawn✔ Long waiting times at the hospital on an empty stomach✔ Driving restrictions due to sleep endoscopy and an exhausting day
The psychological burden and fatigue of enduring this process often outweigh the actual examination itself. Especially for the older generation or those residing far away in other regions or overseas, early morning travel and long waiting times can feel even more physically demanding. This leads to the perception that ‘the examination must be done, but the process is too difficult.’

The misconception that ‘health check-ups must be completed in one day’

Most comprehensive health check-ups are designed to be completed in one day. However, cramming all examinations into a single day often means moving busily and waiting anxiously for long periods, leading to a decline in condition during the tests. It also makes it difficult to have sufficient consultation time with medical staff. Health check-ups can quickly become ‘a chore’ that needs to be done once a year. Recently, how the health check-up time is divided and arranged has emerged as a crucial factor determining satisfaction. There's a growing recognition that conducting examinations in separate sessions can actually enhance understanding and satisfaction with the tests.

A new standard for check-ups proposed by 1-night, 2-day accommodation check-ups

How about a 1-night, 2-day accommodation check-up?

Distributing the burden of a single-day check-up allows for a more relaxed process. A 1-night, 2-day check-up schedule is not merely an extension of time, but a redesigned structure that re-evaluates the overall flow and intensity of the check-up. With hotel accommodation, chauffeured transport to and from the hospital, and wellness care tailored to pre- and post-examination conditions, the fatigue of the check-up process is minimized, and comfort is maximized.

How to get a relaxed health check-up: Day 1

① Starting in the afternoon on the first day: In-depth pre-examination consultation with medical staff and basic tests

On the first day, you visit the hospital in the relaxed afternoon, not early in the morning.

This day's schedule involves a thorough pre-examination consultation and basic tests with medical staff, prior to the main detailed examinations.

You can calmly discuss your lifestyle habits, past illnesses or surgeries, and recent physical condition, adjusting the necessary examination items with the pre-examination doctor. This is not a brief, fleeting consultation, but a time for detailed discussion to plan the entire check-up.

You can ask questions about things you couldn't ask during previous health check-ups or vague bodily signals you were curious about, allowing you to calmly organize your physical condition once more. For children considering health check-ups for their parents, this stage offers reassurance, as it is a ‘systematic check-up conducted without rushing.’

Additionally, before the main detailed examinations begin the next day, PBM light therapy is performed along with basic tests to help manage your condition and immunity.

💡 PBM light therapy is a treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to help activate and restore cell energy, which can help stabilize your condition before detailed examinations and reduce fatigue during the examination process. It can be considered a preparatory stage to further optimize your body's condition before the main check-up.

② Moving to the hotel: A comfortable time to prepare for fasting and bowel cleansing

After completing the pre-examination, basic tests, and PBM light therapy, you will be transported by a dedicated vehicle to the medical hotel ‘Matinee Chaum Hotel’ located near Eonju Station in Gangnam. At the hotel, you can relax comfortably and prepare for bowel cleansing for the endoscopy the next day. The medication and water for bowel cleansing are provided in your room. This offers significant advantages over preparing at home, with less travel burden and the ability to manage your condition in a stable and pleasant environment. Fasting and bowel cleansing feel less like a ‘process to endure’ and more like a time to reflect on and cleanse your body.

③ Detailed examinations conducted in a private single examination room

The next morning, after a good night's rest at the hotel, you will be transported back to the hospital by a dedicated vehicle. The detailed examinations are conducted in Chaum's private single examination room, Hive. A dedicated nurse is assigned to assist you from pre-examination preparation to the examination process and recovery. This design minimizes the hassle of moving between various spaces and eliminates waiting with strangers, allowing you to focus solely on your check-up.

+ In addition to electrocardiograms, thyroid ultrasounds, abdominal ultrasounds, and blood tests, sleep endoscopy (gastroscopy and colonoscopy) are also performed within the examination room. The recovery process after the examination also takes place in the same space, allowing for comfortable rest without unnecessary movement. During recovery, nutritional IV fluid care replenishes your tired body and mind.

④ Post-examination: Check-up porridge and prompt same-day results consultation

Once all examinations are complete, an abalone porridge meal is provided to soothe your stomach. This helps to comfort your empty stomach immediately after the check-up and gently boost your condition. After your meal and rest, a same-day consultation for your check-up results will be conducted (excluding some tests like tissue biopsies).

This reduces the anxiety of returning home after a health check-up and nervously waiting for results. Prioritizing the client's time, major test results are interpreted and provided on the same day. Chaum has resident medical staff in gastroenterology and radiology, allowing for quick response from diagnosis to examination, interpretation, and consultation.

Accommodation check-ups are ideal for these individuals:

The 1-night, 2-day check-up schedule is not merely an extension of time, but a redesigned structure that re-evaluates the overall flow and intensity of the check-up.

‘On the first day, ample pre-examination and comfortable preparation time; on the next day, focused examinations considering your condition and prompt results consultation.’

While health check-ups are an annual routine, a single experience can change one's perception of subsequent check-ups. Just like enjoying a ‘hocance’ (hotel vacation), health check-ups can also be systematic yet relaxed, filled with complete rest and sufficient time to recover your condition. ✅ Long-distance residents, including those overseas or in other regions✅ Those who wish to arrange a more meticulous health check-up for their parents✅ Busy modern individuals who desire a relaxed and systematic check-up✅ Those who want one-stop private care from examination to results consultation
