CEO GREETINGS
The core goal of Industry 4.0 (4th Industrial Revolution),
a key topic for the 21st century, is to realize an industry that
contributes to the peace and happiness of humankind.
The most central topic among the major categories of Industry 4.0 is human health. The paradigm of medicine has already shifted from one of treatment after the occurrence of a disease to precision medicine that is applied to individually customized prevention, utilizing diverse information on the individual patient including clinical and genetic information.
MEDIZEN HUMANCARE will become a leading company in the realization of precision healthcare, which predicts the risk of disease for each individual based on integrated big data, and provides preventive and care solutions accordingly.
2018 is the first year in which a number of our businesses were promoted in earnest, including our molecular diagnostic products related to early diagnosis of cancer and severe chronic diseases, our premium healthcare platform, our genetic resource and big data banking for various ethnic groups including Koreans, and our discovery of candidate materials for new genomic drugs, as a domestic company focused on genomic analysis in South Korea. Although there will be many challenges and ordeals both inside and outside of the company, the employees of MEDIZEN HUMANCARE will devote themselves make MEDIZEN HUMANCARE a major total healthcare company in South Korea, with new concepts that will help us reach out to the world.
Thank you.
