Providing Health Consultations and Linking Services After Measuring Grip Strength, Blood Pressure, Blood Sugar, and Lung Capacity

[Gurye=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yuk Miseok] Jeollanam-do Gurye-gun (Governor Kim Sunho) announced on the 14th that it operated a mobile health consultation room for residents visiting the permanent market the day before.

The mobile health consultation room is a project that provides basic health checkups such as grip strength, blood pressure, blood sugar, lung capacity measurement, and depression screening, as well as other health consultations, for local residents at the permanent market on the 5-day market opening days of the second and fourth weeks from last month until November.

According to the test results, those with health abnormalities are provided with linked services from the public health center and follow-up care.

At the mobile health consultation room, after measuring grip strength simply using a dynamometer, exercise counseling is conducted by comparing it with the standard values according to gender and age.

Blood pressure and blood sugar tests are conducted for chronic disease patients, and customized counseling such as chronic disease management methods is provided according to the results.

Through lung capacity measurement, lung age and lung function are checked, and for smokers, a one-stop registration service for the smoking cessation counseling room is provided.

Recently, depression has increased due to COVID-19, so a depression screening test can be taken using the Tablet PC Touch Mind app, and if depressive disorder is suspected, services can be received in connection with the Mental Health Welfare Center.
