Introduction of the App

Healthcare and wellness providers ranging from pharmacies and clinics to fitness centres and wellness brands are increasingly looking for ways to strengthen patient relationships and encourage proactive health management. Yet, loyalty in this sector is fragile. Patients often choose hospitals, clinics, or pharmacies based on convenience or cost, while engagement in preventive care such as check-ups, vaccinations, and screenings remains low.

Challenges in the Healthcare & Wellness Industry

Healthcare and wellness organizations face unique engagement challenges that directly affect both patient outcomes and institutional growth.

• Patient Retention: Patient Retention: Many patients switch providers frequently, seeking more convenient locations, shorter wait times, or lower costs. This makes long-term patient relationships difficult to maintain.
• Preventive Care Engagement:Patients often delay or avoid preventive care such as annual check-ups, screenings, or vaccinations. This leads to reduced participation in wellness programs and missed opportunities for better health outcomes.
• Personalized Care Offers: Healthcare and wellness providers struggle to tailor health packages and incentives to suit individual patient needs, leaving many programs underutilised. These challenges weaken patient-provider relationships and reduce participation in initiatives that could significantly improve health outcomes.
