DXVX, a company specializing in diagnostics and vaccine development, declared this year as the inaugural year of Healthcare 4.0 and announced on the 1st that it will actively promote the ‘non-face-to-face medical consultation service’ business, one of the digital healthcare projects planned and prepared together with Hanmi Pharmaceutical Group COREE.


In December last year, the Ministry of Health and Welfare permitted patients living in emergency medical vulnerable areas or during holidays such as long weekends and nighttime hours to use non-face-to-face medical consultations even without prior in-person consultation experience through supplementary measures for the non-face-to-face pilot project. As a result, patients of all ages can now receive non-face-to-face medical consultations at clinic-level medical institutions during holidays or nighttime, even if it is not their first visit. Additionally, the recent government public discussion on livelihood issues actively discussed the need to expand non-face-to-face medical services from the perspective of digitalizing medical services.


DXVX’s non-face-to-face medical consultation service will provide verified medical data based on hospital and pharmaceutical information. It plans to partner with major hospitals nationwide for non-face-to-face consultations and advisory counseling, and will also offer pharmaceutical and medical information and drug matching services considering the convenience of the consultees.


The non-face-to-face medical consultation service supports online connections such as voice and video through its platform, applying encryption of personal and medical information and a security system for the data. This enables prescription and drug delivery through a collaborative system with partner hospitals or pharmacies.


DXVX will actively participate in the government’s institutionalization efforts to introduce the service targeting patients in domestic emergency medical vulnerable areas and vulnerable time zones, and plans to expand the scope of introduction to public welfare fields such as ‘chronic disease follow-up prescriptions’ and ‘infectious diseases requiring monitoring.’


It also plans to expand into a global service that can accommodate overseas nationals and medical tourists. Through the COREE Group, it will develop services for overseas Chinese nationals to target overseas markets and actively participate in the government’s data utilization policies to simultaneously promote non-face-to-face medical consultation services and medical data businesses.



A DXVX official stated, “Having passed through the COVID-19 pandemic period, both the public and medical staff have already experienced the efficiency of non-face-to-face medical consultations, so we believe that market conditions and medical services are prepared. We plan to actively participate in the non-face-to-face medical consultation service market leading to digital healthcare in line with the government’s institutionalization plan.”
