Health management has just started in China, and it is a sunrise industry. At present, there are only a few professional health management institutions in Chinese mainland, most of which are affiliated departments of hospitals and physical examination centers. There is no accurate data on the number of health management employees. It is estimated that there are more than 654.38+million people in China, and only two-tenths of the total number of people enjoy health management services from scientific specialties, which is far from the fact that 70% of the residents in the United States can receive perfect services from health management companies or enterprises.

With the acceleration of population aging, the extension of life expectancy and the rise of chronic diseases, the demand for health maintenance and improvement will increase by 8%. The traditional medical service model can no longer meet the needs of development. The emerging health management industry will have a very broad development prospect. Establishing a professional health management team is of great significance for improving and improving the physical quality of Chinese citizens and building a well-off society in an all-round way.
