### Personalized physical examination: tailor-made health management plan

Personalized physical examIt is a health examination plan customized based on comprehensive factors such as personal age, gender, family history, living habits, and occupational characteristics. It aims to achieve early prevention and intervention of diseases through accurate screening of potential health risks. Its core lies in"It varies from person to person"Compared with traditional standardized physical examinations, it pays more attention to individual differences and usually includes basic items (such as blood routine, imaging examinations) and special additional items (such as tumor markers, genetic testing). Here are its key features:

Contrast Dimensions	Traditional physical examination	Personalized physical exam
Project selection	fixed package	Dynamic customization
Data application	single result	Long-term health record analysis
target group	mass group	High-risk or people with special needs

For example, working people who stay up late for a long time can increase in-depth cardiovascular and cerebrovascular and liver function screening, while people with a family history of diabetes need to focus on glycosylated hemoglobin and insulin resistance testing.

---### Scientific basis and implementation process of personalized physical examination

The development of a personalized physical examination relies onevidence-based medicineand health big data analysis. Medical institutions usually collect information through questionnaires, health record retrieval, etc., and then recommend screening items based on international guidelines (such as the "Recommendations of the American Preventive Medicine Task Force"). For example:

• People over 40 years old: It is recommended to add gastrointestinal endoscopy and low-dose lung CT;
• Women's Special: HPV+TCT combined screening can reduce the missed diagnosis rate of cervical cancer.

Some domestic tertiary hospitals (such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital) and professional medical examination institutions (such as Meinian Health) have launched the "1+X" model, that is, basic projects + self-selected modules. Users can independently match projects and obtain AI risk assessment reports through online platforms.

---### Development of personalized physical examination driven by technology

In recent years,genetic testingandwearable devicesThe popularity of medical examinations has further promoted the accuracy of personalized physical examinations. For example:

• BGI’s “Tumor Early Screening Package” detects circulating tumor DNA through liquid biopsy technology;
• The Apple Watch ECG function can synchronize heart rate data to physical examination reports.

However, technical limitations need to be noted. For example, the accuracy of genetic testing for predicting certain diseases (such as Alzheimer's disease) is still controversial and needs to be interpreted in conjunction with clinicians.

---### How to choose reliable personalized physical examination services

Consumers should pay attention to the following three points:

1. Institutional qualifications: Choose an institution certified by the "Basic Standards for Health Examination Centers";
2. Project transparency: Avoid bundled sales. For example, the “whole-body PET-CT” recommended by some institutions may overexamine healthy people;
3. Follow-up service: High-quality services should include report interpretation, health management suggestions, etc.

For example, Ruici Medical's "Customized Physical Examination for Executives" provides one-on-one doctor consultation, while Aikang Guobin cooperates with tertiary hospitals to open a green referral channel.

---### The future and value of personalized physical examination

Withprecision medicineWith the development, personalized physical examination will focus more on disease prevention rather than simple screening. For example, adjusting diet plans through intestinal flora testing, or using AI to predict the risk of osteoporosis. But it needs to be clear:

• Physical examination cannot replace clinical treatment, and abnormal results require further medical treatment;
• Avoid blindly pursuing high-priced projects, such as whole-genome sequencing, which has limited cost-effectiveness for the general population.

Expert advice (quoted from the Health Management Branch of the Chinese Medical Association): People over the age of 30 should have a basic personalized physical examination at least once a year, and dynamically adjust the project based on the results.
