How to Get a Relaxing Health Checkup | Parents' Checkup, Duration, Fasting, and Hotel Stay Screenings

When the new year arrives, ‘health checkups’ naturally come to mind. Many people decide to take care of their parents’ health screenings or search for comprehensive checkups they have been putting off. However, once you start looking into it, conditions like fasting, long durations, and early morning appointments are the first things you notice.

Thinking about the schedule of moving from dawn on an empty stomach, clearing an entire day, and being unable to drive after a sedative endoscopy can make you wonder, ‘Why is a checkup for my health so stressful and burdensome?’ That is why more people are now considering the method of the checkup as much as the items included in it.

Why Health Checkups Feel Burdensome

Most people imagine similar scenes when thinking of a health checkup.

✔ A schedule starting from dawn
✔ Arriving at the hospital on an empty stomach and waiting for a long time
✔ Restrictions on driving due to sedative endoscopy and an exhausting day

The mental burden and fatigue of enduring this process often feel greater than the actual tests. Especially for parents or those living far away or overseas, early morning travel and long wait times are physically taxing. Consequently, people develop the perception that ‘I must get the checkup, but the process is too difficult.’

The Stereotype of ‘Finishing in One Day’

Most comprehensive health checkups are designed as a one-day schedule. However, cramming all tests into a single day often leads to rushing around and waiting anxiously, resulting in tests being conducted while one’s physical condition is depleted. It is also difficult to have sufficient consultation time with medical staff. Before you know it, the health checkup becomes a ‘homework-like chore’ performed once a year. Recently, how the duration of the checkup is divided and arranged has emerged as a crucial factor in satisfaction. There is a growing awareness that splitting the checkup can actually improve understanding and satisfaction with the results.

A New Standard: The 2-Day Overnight Checkup

What about a 2-day overnight checkup? By dispersing the burden of a single day, the process becomes much more relaxed. This 2-day schedule is not just about extending time; it is a structure that redesigns the flow and density of the entire screening. With hotel accommodations, vehicle protocol for hospital transfers, and wellness care tailored to your condition before and after tests, we minimize fatigue and maximize comfort.

How to Get a Relaxing Health Checkup: Day 1

① Starting in the Afternoon: In-depth Consultation and Basic Tests

On the first day, you visit the hospital in the relaxed afternoon rather than early dawn. This day is dedicated to in-depth pre-examination consultations with medical staff and basic tests before the full-scale precision screenings.

You can calmly discuss your lifestyle habits, past illnesses, surgical history, and recent physical condition to adjust the necessary test items with the physician. This is a time for detailed consultation to design the overall screening, rather than a brief encounter. It is a chance to organize your health status by asking about things you couldn’t ask during previous checkups or vague signals from your body. For children considering a checkup for their parents, this ‘unhurried and systematic’ approach provides peace of mind.

Additionally, before the precision tests begin the next day, PBM light therapy is provided alongside basic tests to help manage condition and immunity.

💡 PBM (Photobiomodulation) light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to help activate cellular energy and recovery. It helps stabilize your condition before precision tests and reduce fatigue during the screening process. It serves as a preparation stage to refine your body’s state before the main checkup.

② Moving to the Hotel: Comfortable Fasting and Bowel Preparation

After completing the consultation, basic tests, and PBM therapy, you will be transferred via a dedicated vehicle to ‘Hotel Matinée Chaum,’ a medical hotel located at Eonju Station in Gangnam. At the hotel, you can rest comfortably and prepare for the next day’s endoscopy. Medications and water for bowel preparation are provided in the room. The major advantage is that it reduces the burden of travel compared to preparing at home, allowing you to manage your condition in a stable and pleasant environment. Fasting and bowel preparation feel less like a ‘process to endure’ and more like a time to reflect on and cleanse your body.

③ Precision Tests in a Private Individual Screening Room

The next morning, after sufficient rest at the hotel, you return to the hospital via a dedicated vehicle. Precision tests are conducted in ‘HIVE,’ Chaum’s private individual screening room. A dedicated nurse is assigned to accompany you through preparation, the procedure, and the recovery process. It is designed to minimize the hassle of moving between multiple spaces and eliminate waiting with strangers, allowing you to focus solely on your checkup.

+ Not only ECG, thyroid ultrasound, abdominal ultrasound, and blood collection, but also sedative endoscopies (gastroscopy/colonoscopy) are performed within the screening room. Since the recovery process also takes place in the same space, you can rest comfortably without unnecessary movement. During recovery, nutritional IV therapy helps replenish your body and mind.

④ Post-Checkup Porridge and Rapid Same-Day Results Consultation

Once all tests are completed, an abalone porridge meal is provided to gently soothe your stomach. This helps comfort the empty stomach immediately after the checkup and warmly boosts your condition. After eating and resting, a consultation for the day’s results is conducted (excluding some tests like biopsies).

We have reduced the anxiety of waiting for results after returning home. Prioritizing the client’s time, we provide guidance on the same day after interpreting major tests. Chaum has resident gastroenterologists and radiologists, enabling rapid response from diagnosis and testing to interpretation and consultation.

The Overnight Checkup is Ideal For:

The 2-day schedule is a structure that redesigns the flow and density of the entire screening process.

‘Day 1: Sufficient consultation and comfortable preparation time; Day 2: Focused screening considering your condition and rapid results consultation.’

While a health checkup is an annual routine, a single experience can change your perception of future screenings. Like enjoying a ‘hocance’ (hotel-vacance), a health checkup can be a systematic yet relaxing time filled with complete rest and recovery.

✅ Long-distance residents (overseas or provincial)
✅ Those who want to take extra care of their parents’ health checkups
✅ Busy modern individuals seeking a relaxed and systematic screening
✅ Those who want one-stop private care from screening to results consultation
