MetLife Bangladesh on Saturday launched 360Health, a first-of-its-kind healthcare mobile app in the country to prevent and manage serious illness of the people.
The new app-based solution is the only one in the market to comprehensively focus on five key aspects of managing critical illnesses: prevention of diseases; early diagnosis; access to treatment; ongoing care; and financial protection from insurance, to help users manage serious illnesses through a simple and engaging experience, said a media statement.
Busy lifestyles, poor diet and stress have led to a sharp rise in serious illnesses, including non-communicable diseases like cancer and diabetes, which are now estimated to account for 67 per cent of deaths in Bangladesh.
A recent MetLife study also found that affordability of healthcare; access to quality healthcare professionals; and quality of the hospitals are major concerns for Bangladeshis seeking to manage their health. The research also indicated that most people would opt for contactless online medical consultations, provided the quality is of a high standard given the current Covid-19 situation.
Anyone can download the app for free from Google Play Store https://metlifebd.online/d4454e to access health awareness and disease prevention tools like BMI (Body Mass Index), Covid-19 symptom checker, individual health risk assessment, and the option to analyze one’s financial priorities to find suitable financial protection solutions.
Based on specific insurance product subscription, MetLife customers can unlock exclusive features like free virtual doctor consultations, special discounts on diagnostic tests through digital their life card, and preferential access to specialists like Cardiologists, Psychologists, Nutritionists, Gynecologists, Gastrologists and General Surgeons.
Customers will also be able to use the App to order medicines and other important health management devices online. In addition, customers will be able to get their policy related information including policy status, policy maturity date and premium due date right from the app.
To celebrate the launch of this new app, all users will be able to enjoy the exclusive features for the first 60 days.
Ala Ahmad, MetLife Bangladesh’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “360Health embodies our company’s commitment to helping people in Bangladesh build a more confident future by increasing their health span, not just their lifespan. 360Health is the only solution in the market to combine financial protection with health services to help people comprehensively manage serious illness and protect their health and financial wellbeing.”
