AJMS Group, 1Life Healthcare to launch an Insurtech and digital health platform in the UAE

AJMS Group and 1Life Healthcare from Singapore have announced a partnership to launch an innovative Insurtech and digital health platform based in the UAE. The joint venture aims to address the rising healthcare costs and annual health premiums by offering solutions to insurers across the GCC, Africa, and South Asia.

This collaboration is set to enhance individual engagement and awareness of chronic health risks, providing effective management with support from primary care and specialists.

How will it work?

The new platform will feature a variety of services, including onsite health events for corporations to increase health screening opportunities and personal health records integrated with claims data. Follow-up advice will be facilitated through AI-powered, data-driven care navigation and health concierges supported by telemedicine.

By integrating the Connect To My Doctor (C2MD) platform, licensed by the Dubai Health Authority, patients will have access to a wide pool of healthcare practitioners and medical groups for managing chronic diseases and obtaining medical opinions.

Dr. Abhishek Jajoo, Chairman of 1Life Healthcare and AJMS Group, stated, "The expertise brought by 1Life Healthcare on digital health tools and patient engagement would be incredibly effective to increase the awareness of health risks and manage these in a personalized fashion."

Why does it matter?

This collaboration matters because it leverages the combined expertise of AJMS Group and 1Life Healthcare to provide a user-friendly, fully integrated solution for insurers. The platform will also accumulate big data for population health metrics, aiding insurer medical teams.

Dr. Vas Metupalle, CEO of 1Life Healthcare, emphasized, "The synergy of bringing these digital health offerings to the industry with a secure and tightly integrated solution will be a game changer in increasing customer engagement in the preventive health offerings and heading towards value-based healthcare options."

The context
