Gangnam-gu Smart Infectious Disease Control Center Operational
[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jung Soon-gyun) launched the ‘Gangnam-gu Smart Infectious Disease Management Center’ on the 1st, which manages the entire testing process with a single QR code, conducting over 1,200 specimen tests.
The center is a facility expanded and reorganized from the Gangnam-gu Public Health Center screening clinic, housed in a standalone building consisting of a respiratory clinic and an infectious disease comprehensive situation room.
In particular, by assigning a QR code to each individual tested, waiting times are reduced, enabling fast and accurate testing of more than 1,000 people per day.
Additionally, the district introduced an automated transport system using a conveyor belt to safely transport and package specimen kits, and minimized the possibility of secondary infection through automatic disinfection of the specimen room and a full-body sterilization system.
