The Health Information Expressway is a national medical information intermediary platform that enables patients to directly check and utilize their personal medical records, prescriptions, health checkup results, and vaccination information held by public institutions and medical facilities through the My Health Record app. As of August, a total of 1,264 medical institutions are participating, including 47 advanced general hospitals, 53 general hospitals, and 1,164 clinics and hospitals.


The My Health Record app offers a variety of features to help citizens conveniently use their medical information in daily life. Users can view their medical history, various test results, blood pressure and blood sugar levels, and prescription records. The app also provides access to national health checkup results and allows users to manage their children's vaccination schedules. In addition, it offers information about hospitals and pharmacies operating 24 hours a day, making it useful in emergency situations.



Shin Kkotshigae, Director of Advanced Medical Support at the Ministry of Health and Welfare, stated, "With all advanced general hospitals now participating in the Health Information Expressway, citizens who use these hospitals can easily check and utilize their medical information through the My Health Record app anytime and anywhere. We plan to expand this integration to include all general hospitals in the future."
