mWell continues to blaze trails in digital healthcare globally

 

Metro Pacific Investments Corporation’s (MPIC) mWell continues to blaze trails in digital healthcare globally as it was named the winner of two Gold Stevie® Awards in the Innovation in Health & Wellness and Most Innovative Startup of the Year- Business Service Industries categories in the 10th annual Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards. mWell is the only Philippine entry to bring home the Gold Award in these two categories. Bronze winners includeVietnam, Taiwan, and Australia.

The two Gold Stevie® Awards come at the heels of being chosen as the Best Mobile Innovation for Digital Life in the 2023 Global Mobile (GLOMO) Awards, held during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. 

 

The Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards are the only business awards program to recognize innovation in the workplace in all 29 nations of the Asia-Pacific region.  The Stevie Awards are widely considered to be the world's premier business awards, conferring recognition for achievement in programs such as The International Business Awards® for 21 years. Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word for “crowned,” the winners will be celebrated during a virtual (online) awards ceremony on Tuesday, 27 June.  

 

More than 800 nominations from organizations across the Asia-Pacific region were considered this year in categories such as Award for Excellence in Innovation in Products & Services, Award for Innovative Management, and Award for Innovation in Corporate Websites, among many others.  Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie Award winners were determined by the average scores of more than 100 executives around the world acting as judges in February and March.

 

“This recognition is a welcome affirmation of our work inhealthcare,” says mWell Chairman and MPIC Chairman and CEO Manuel V. Pangilinan. “The goal is to improve the lives of all Filipinos, and this will inspire us to keep pushing boundaries in creating innovative healthcare solutions.”

 

mWell CEO and President and MPIC Chief Finance, Risk, and Sustainability Officer Chaye Cabal-Revilla said “As the Philippines’ healthcare mega app, this award fortifies our commitment to harnessing the power of technology as we makehealthcare available, accessible, and affordable for more Filipinos wherever they may be in the world. Through our innovative digital solutions, we will continue being an ally in every step of the wellness journey—not just as an app but as a fully integrated, fully digital healthcare ecosystem worthy of global recognition.”

 

“The 10th edition of the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards attracted many remarkable nominations,” said Stevie Awards president Maggie Miller.  “The organizations that won this year have demonstrated that they are committed to being innovative, and we applaud them for their perseverance and creativity.  We look forward to celebrating many of this year’s winners during our virtual awards ceremony on 27 June.”

 

mWell’s achievement comes soon after being recognized as the Best Mobile Innovation for Digital Life in the recently concluded 2023 Global Mobile (GLOMO) Awards, held during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. Recognized in the new Digital Everything category, mWell is the first in the Philippines to receive this most prestigious accolade in the mobile industry, judged by more than 200 independent judges from across the world, comprised of leading industry and subject matter experts, analysts, journalists, and academics. It celebrates companies, individuals, and governments who have driven the greatest innovation in mobile and adjacent industries.

 

The country’s fully integrated and fully digital healthcare platform consistently holds its spot among the top health and fitness app in Google Play Store.

 

The top health app for telemedicine

 

An accredited telemedicine partner of the Department of health, mWell has redefined telemedicine in the Philippines via a seamless, fully digital experience. Choosing a doctor, consulting on video (within 3 minutes waiting time), receiving an e-prescription and getting a medical certificate all happen in the app. 

 

Patients may consult online 24/7 with over over 800 Primary Care doctors, specialists, and mind health experts. They can even have their medicines delivered to their doorsteps via MedExpress.  Furthermore, mWell provides a digital medical ID which empowers users to keep track of their own personal record which they can easily access. All records are stored in mWell’s secure platform. 

 

Top global healthcare app for OFWs

 

mWell enables the delivery of healthcare services to Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and their families via a partnership with the Department of Migrant Workers. Breaking barriers through digital healthcare, mWell gives over 1.8 million OFWs access to highly-trained Filipino partner-doctors —internal medicine specialists, cardiologists, endocrinologists, ophthalmologists, and more. In just a few taps, they can consult right away with Filipino-speaking doctors, 24/7 or book an appointment at their convenience.

 

mWell has also made the Healthsavers Plan available globally to Filipino migrant workers who sacrifice being away from families to provide food on the table and education for their children. They may easily send their families the health pass as a gift and allow them to conveniently consult with mWell partner-doctors. The Healthsavers Plan P399 comes with one consultation and free accident insurance worth P20,000. 

 

Top name in wellness 

 

On top of telemedicine, mWell promotes overall wellbeing through preventive healthcare features. mWell is the first and only health app in the PH which allows users to track theirhealth for free using the mWellness Score. Developed by award-winning data scientists, it measures physical health based on daily activities – exercise, light activity, steps, sleep. This serves as a guide to achieving a healthy physical lifestyle for long-term health.  

 

Specialized fitness programs, including diabetes prevention and post-partum exercise designed to assist new moms to get back in shape safely and healthily are also found on the app.   Calorie-controlled recipes created by nutritionists are also easily accessible. 

mWell is the only healthcare app among the convenor organizations and supporting companies of the GoDigitalPilipinas (GDP) movement. It has truly set the standards in digital healthcare and changed lives through the power of technology. More innovative features will soon be unveiled by the country’s first fully integrated, fully digital health and wellness app.

OFWS to receive care from Filipino doctors as mWell partners with the Department of Migrant Workers

Metro Pacific Investments Corporation’s mWell, the Philippines’ first fully integrated and fully digital health and wellness app, enables the delivery of healthcare services to Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and their families via a partnership with the Department of Migrant Workers.

Breaking barriers through digital healthcare, mWell will provide over 1.8 million OFWs with 24/7 access to family doctors, specialists, and mind health experts. Wherever they may be in the world, they may choose from hundreds of highly-trained Filipino partner-doctors on the mWell app—internal medicine specialists, cardiologists, endocrinologists, ophthalmologists, and more. In just a few taps, they can consult right away with Filipino-speaking doctors, 24/7 or book an appointment at their convenience.

“mWell was born because of our strong sense of commitment to bring accessible and affordable healthcare closer to every Filipino anywhere in the world. Our partnership with the Department of Migrant Workers allows us to give back to our OFWs by providing them world-class service that they truly deserve,” said mWell President and CEO and MPIC Chief Finance, Risk and Sustainability Officer Chaye Cabal-Revilla.

“Ang dream ko rin kasi, pag may nararamdaman ang isang OFW, syempre ang gusto nya, ang makakausap nya Pilipino,” said Migrant Workers Secretary Susan Ople during the partnership agreement signing ceremony with mWell.  “Partnerships with the private sector are particularly important. Government can only do so much. You have to also reach out and draw in as many private sector partners as possible not for anything else but to make the OFW na at his or her greatest need, hindi sila nag-iisa. 

That’s why we appreciate the partnership through the MOA that we signed with mWell so that they will have an app and yung OFW in HongKong, in Bahrain, in Saudi or in Europe and even aboard ships can contact doctors through the app. Just the knowledge na may sasagot speaking the same language, ang laking bagay na ‘nun. Technology and partners like mWell, and of course the expertise of our doctors—these are the ingredients of what an essential public service program will be all about. Government cannot do it alone. But it’s the aspiration to do what’s best for the OFWs--that aspiration is the glue that binds this partnership together,” Secretary Ople added.

As the only health and wellness app that provides a fully digital experience, mWell offers OFWs a seamless end-to-end journey -- from booking a video consult or seeing a doctor right away (with only 3 minutes of waiting time) and paying for the consultation. Their own digital medical ID empowers them to easily access their records stored in mWell’s secure platform. They may also send their families the health pass as a gift, allowing them to consult with mWell partner-doctors.

Beyond telemedicine services, mWell offers OFWs a guide to achieving a healthy physical lifestyle for long-term health.  They may track their wellness level using the mWellness Score. This exclusive feature, developed in partnership with an award-winning team of doctors and data scientists, allows app users to monitor physical activity, step count, and sleep—for free!  mWell also offers customized fitness and nutrition programs developed by Olympians and exercise physiologists. To stay healthy while away from their families, migrant workers may try out calorie-controlled recipes created by dietitians and nutritionists. Affordable insurance plans for the OFWs and their loved ones, home care services, emergency services and medicine delivery for their families in the Philippines can be easily availed on the mWell e-shop.

mWell was recently recognized as the Best Mobile Innovation for Digital Life in the 2023 Global Mobile (GLOMO) Awards, held during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. It is the only healthcare app among the convenor organizations and supporting companies of the GoDigital Pilipinas (GDP) movement.

mWell earns a high status among mobile players as it bagged the coveted 2023 Global Mobile Awards (GLOMO) Best Mobile Innovation for Digital Life Award, Digital Everything Category in the Mobile World Congress, Barcelona Spain. The award affirms mWell's position at the forefront of the digital shift as it rose above all other global brands by providing a comprehensive mobile value add.

The Philippines’ #1 health and fitness app makes its way to the global stage

mWell continues to blaze trails in digital healthcare as it becomes the #1 health and fitness app in Google Play Store starting February.  In its awards entry, mWell showcased its winning edge.

In a country like the Philippines where access to basic healthcare is a privilege rather than a right, Filipinos are still considered as the unhealthiest in Asia. Believing that uplifting the lives of Filipinos is a prerequisite to national progress, mWell, the country’s first fully integrated and fully digital health and wellness app vetted by data privacy and cybersecurity experts, brings healthcare closer to Filipinos wherever they may be. At their fingertips, users have access to quality but affordable healthcare and wellness programs anytime, anywhere. It breaks down geographic boundaries through technology, giving 24/7 access to primary care doctors, specialists, mind health experts, home care experts, emergency services, fitness, and food and nutrition programs.

Through the mWell ecosystem, doctors can serve patients beyond their geographic areas. To consult, patients simply need to download the app and sign in.  After the video consultation, they will receive the doctor’s notes, medical certificate, and e-prescription. They can even have the medicines delivered right at their doorstep.

With the health and well-being of Filipinos in mind, mWell promotes preventive healthcare.  It has an mWellness Score developed by data scientists, which measures your physical health based on your activities – exercise, light activity, steps, sleep. It has specialized fitness programs, including diabetes prevention and post-partum exercise designed to assist new moms to get back in shape safely and healthily; and nutrition programs designed by experts. 

Both a digital health service and an advocacy, mWell’s line-up of firsts covers product features, innovations not only for patients but also for doctors. For example, it launched the biggest nationwide digital medical mission where Filipinos can consult for free with hundreds of volunteer doctors and mind health experts during the mWellness Day. 

For affordable consultations, mWell was the first to offer telemedicine through a sachet health pass-- the Healthsavers Plan P399 which comes with one consult and free accident insurance worth P20,000. This may also be sent as a gift to loved ones and friends, allowing mWell app users to easily be agents of good health. 

Breaking barriers through digital healthcare, mWell has made the Healthsavers Plan available globally to over 10 million Filipino migrant workers who sacrifice being away from families to provide food on the table and education for their children. They may easily send their families the health pass as a gift and allow them to conveniently consult with mWell partner-doctors. 

mWell is the only healthcare app among the convenor organizations and supporting companies in the GoDigital Pilipinas movement which advocates digitalization initiatives to empower Filipinos through technology.
