Mobile health app mWell offers PH the full healthcare services experience

MANILA, Philippines — Most Filipinos are robbed of their access to fundamental human rights, especially on basic healthcare. In the Philippines, six out of 10 people die without seeing a doctor once, or receiving any professional medical assistance. This is due to having a 1:26,000 medical practitioner to population ratio—way below the World Health Organization requirement of 10, 000.

Not to mention the looming financial crisis, with only P633.10 average daily wage.

Underprivileged sectors, including Indigenous Peoples (IP), suffer from this problem, requiring them to travel for a day just to consult with a doctor. Soldiers in conflict areas and migrant workers are also not exempted from the lack of quality healthcare.

With Metro Pacific Investments Corporation’s mWell, the Philippines’ first fully integrated health and wellness mega app, healthcare is made accessible for Filipinos anytime and anywhere. Recognizing that health is the most important investment, its innovative digital solutions ensure good health for economic productivity, longevity, and nation-building.

mWell sells instant convenience, saving patients from a hassle travel experience. These include seniors, persons with disability, and those in remote islands, hinterlands, and Indigenous Peoples (IP) communities. Anyone may consult with doctors 24/7 online, receive e-prescriptions, and lab referral.

Home lab tests and medicine delivery are also available. In fact, it is the only app that delivers holistic healthcare, and the first to sachet telemedicine and insurance via Healthsavers Plan P399/consult with free P20,000 accident insurance.

Monitoring one’s health also has never been this easy. Developed by data scientists, the mWellness Score measures the users’ overall well-being based on steps, sleep, emotional, and social levels. Specialized fitness programs and calorie-controlled recipes by nutritionists can be accessed virtually.

To maximize these features, mWell introduces mWellness Wearables, a line of smartwatches and rings. Through it, users can check their important health metrics, track workouts, and enjoy unlimited access to 100 exercise modes, heart rate, and blood oxygen at an affordable price.

If you’re more into lightweight accessories, the mWell Ring is equipped with the same qualities, but differs in terms of providing a 7-day battery life and detailed sleep report. It offers a real-time alert on Light sleep, Deepsleep, Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep—all in one tracker.

Furthermore, mWell empowers the Local Government Units to go fully digital in support of Universal Health Care (UHC). For those without a device, the health app can also be accessed through self-service digital kiosks which can print clinical notes, e-prescription and medical certificates.

“We aim to serve the Philippine market in a radically, delightfully different way. With mWell HealthHub, our Executive Health Screening and Advanced Diagnostic Imaging will be communicated and made available faster and more efficiently to thousands of Filipinos,” Fullerton Health EHS Lead PH Carmie Pascual de Leon said.

The company also hears the needs of those from the remote areas and Indigenous Peoples (IP) communities through mWell OnTheGo, a portable digital clinic with a tablet/phone preloaded with the mWell app for online consultation, Wi-Fi, solar panel and power station.

mWell pioneered a semi-digital, uncarded and unbanked market through over-the-counter payment for online doctor consultation through Bayad Centers nationwide, and has turned neighborhood mom-and-pop “sari-sari” stores into community clinics for those without credit cards and smartphones.

Since its launch, the mWell app continues to collect remarkable milestones, including being the first health and wellness app available in 140 countries worldwide. With this, migrant workers can consult Filipino doctors and send their families the Healthsavers Plan — an affordable online consultation healthpass.

While the health app seems customer-focused, mWell also assists several health and wellness businesses to reach a wider audience and manage bookings seamlessly. To address the needs of doctors, mWell also created an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and clinic management system, with the mWellMD platform specifically designed to expand practice, manage records, billings, and professional fees.

Thanks to the power of innovative technology, saving lives becomes convenient, accessible, and affordable for everyone.
