Metro Pacific Health Tech Corporation (MPHTC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC), is planning to forge partnerships with insurance companies and local government units for its healthcare app mWell.
In a press briefing, MPIC President Jose Ma. Lim said that, aside from more doctors, “We plan to invite insurance companies so we can provide more people access to affordable insurance through mWell.”
He added that, they are also seeking to tie-up with local government units so they can expand mWell’s reach from the private sector to include LGUs and their residents.
An all-in-one-app, mWell was created for the Filipino’s holistic well-being, providing professional consultations, wellness programs, products and delivery services.
MPIC Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan expressed confidence in the group’s newest foray into digital health care.
“Through collaboration with trusted health experts, mWell will develop an ecosystem to bring integrated digital healthcare closer to every Filipino, even beyond the pandemic. mWell will empower every Filipino to be in control of their health with just one app,” he said.
The app is backed by a powerhouse of top names in the healthcare, wellness and tech industries. CareSpan's Clinic in the Cloud integrates digital care tools and data for mWell doctors and patients.
LotusFlare’s multi-awarded cloud-native, IT digital enablement platform ensures a seamless, end-to-end customer experience. Ping An's healthcare technologies enables mWell to address Covid-19 concerns, diagnosis, care, and treatments.
Complementing the technology partnerships, mWell teams up with award-winning fitness experts like Active8me, for personalized daily fitness, nutrition and wellness programs; and theAsianparent, for smart parenting solutions from pregnancy to family health management.
Powered by PayMaya for fast, secure, and hassle-free transactions, over three thousand health and wellness products are available for mWell app users at the online health shop by Adobomall.
Lim said this fully-integrated healthcare management is a game changer because, “Together, we will build an ecosystem that will provide easy access to integrated digital healthcare. We invite doctors and health practitioners to digitize their practice, partner with us and be part of mWell’s mission. With our combined strength, we can empower our countrymen to be in control of their health.”
Currently in partnership with CareSpan,Philcare and Keralty Clinic, doctors and health practitioners have joined the mWell roster comprising of general practitioners and specialty doctors to enable much needed access to health professionals during this pandemic.
Doctors are able to easily manage digital appointments, keep patients’ confidential medical records and issue e-prescriptions. And with the partnership of Medicard, users can book COVID-19 testing services.
“At the heart is Gabay Kalusugan’s advocacy to bring healthcare to our kababayans,” said MPIC Chief Finance & Sustainability Officer Chaye Revilla.
She added that “mWell is our response to Filipinos’ call for a better, more responsive, highly convenient healthcare platform. It is a fully integrated ecosystem that will deliver their health and wellness needs.”
Starting August, mWell users can access the e-Pharmacy service that will allow them to buy South Star Drug OTC and Prescription medicines and have these delivered to their homes, or buy PhilCare health insurance products for dengue, accidents, and emergencies.
For its initial offering, PLDT Home customers may avail of a free consultation with mWell doctors.
