Gachon University Gil Hospital Builds Smart Diagnostic Laboratory...Organic connection from sample warehousing to inspection, storage, and disposal

Jul 15, 2025

Gachon University Gil Hospital (Hospital Director Kim Woo-kyung) recently introduced Korea Roche Diagnostics Co., Ltd.'s automated diagnostic test solution "Smart Lab" and held an event to commemorate it on the 14th.

Beyond the level of automation of inspection equipment, the 'Smart Lab' solution provided by Roche Diagnostics Korea is a smart laboratory environment in which all steps from sample warehousing, inspection, storage, and disposal are organically connected within a single digital platform. Gachon University Gil Hospital plans to create synergy in the existing smart hospital environment by introducing Roche Diagnostics' smart lab solution for the first time among domestic medical institutions.

The four core functions of Smart Lab are ▲Navify (Navify·Navigate Clarify) monitoring ▲Smart Control ▲ Pre-processing System ▲ Automatic storage and disposal of samples. At the center of the system is the CCM (Cobas Connection Module), a fully automated equipment for Roche Diagnostics, which connects pre-processing, analysis, and post-processing equipment into one physical track and digital network to automate sample flow and implement an efficient inspection process without errors.




In addition, all automated equipment in the laboratory can be monitored and controlled in a single screen through the 'navify Lab Operations' platform. The platform will provide hospitals with functions such as tracking the location of real-time samples, monitoring the status of equipment, issuing re-examination orders, and warning of delayed inspection, innovatively improving the operation efficiency of the laboratory. Navify is a brand that encompasses a variety of digital products owned by Roche Diagnostics, a global in vitro diagnostic company, and includes more than 30 digital solutions for hospitals and patients.

Gachon University Gil Hospital actively introduces cutting-edge technology in diagnostic tests to increase employee work efficiency through rapid and accurate diagnostic tests and to maximize satisfaction in patients' hospital experience.

Kittang, CEO of Roche Diagnostics Korea, said "It is very meaningful that Smart Lab is joining the vision of a 'patient-centered medical research' and a 'digital hospital leading the future" that Gachon University Gil Hospital aims for"In the future, we will continue to work with Gachon University Gil Hospital to support digital transformation of diagnostic laboratories and contribute to providing more precise and rapid test results to patients."




Kim Woo-kyung, head of Gachon University Gil Hospital, said, `We are happy and meaningful to introduce Korea Roche Diagnostics' smart lab system for the first time among domestic medical institutions to provide more accurate and rapid results to patients, and we will take the lead in building a smart hospital environment and continuing to develop it.'
