Digital healthcare is revolutionising the way we approach medical services, making healthcare more affordable and accessible for everyone. The primary advantages of digital healthcare are its accessibility, the timely manner it can be accessed, and its ability to bridge the gap between patients and healthcare providers, especially in remote or underserved areas.
Digital services allow patients to consult with doctors via video calls, access mental health services, and receive physiotherapy, eliminating the need for travel and reducing the time and cost associated with in-person visits. For these reasons, Bupa have prioritised access to digital services for members by transforming healthcare with digital investment in ‘Blua’. Blua offers Bupa customers convenient access to digital health services through the My Bupa app.
Did you know that more than 70% of HR decision-makers feel a responsibility to look after their employees’ health? It can be difficult to navigate the options available to support employees, which is why Bupa has launched a digital health and wellbeing subscription service called Bupa Well+. Bupa Well+ is an affordable option for employers who want to offer their entire workforce a health and wellbeing subscription. Bupa Well+ offers access to digital GP services, physiotherapy, mental health support, and fitness and wellbeing classes, all through one place, the My Bupa app.
The importance of mental health and musculoskeletal health in the workplace cannot be overstated. Statistics show that staff took the most time off work for mental health and musculoskeletal issues, at 5.8 and 5.7 days respectively in the past year. Furthermore, half (52%) of employee respondents said they would not need to take as much leave if they had a form of health cover. With statistics like these, ensuring that employees have access to healthcare is vital in keeping your staff healthy, productive, and motivated.
Digital healthcare solutions like Bupa Well+ are designed to address these issues by providing health and wellbeing support. Employees can access a range of services from the comfort of their homes, making it easier to manage their health and wellbeing. This not only reduces absenteeism but also promotes a healthier work environment.
Giving employees the tools to take control of their health and make informed decisions about their wellbeing can lead to a more engaged and productive workforce, as employees are more likely to feel valued and supported.
The benefits of digital healthcare extend beyond individual health. By investing in digital health solutions, employers can create a culture of health and wellbeing within their organisation. This can lead to improved employee morale, reduced turnover, and a stronger employer brand. In a competitive job market, offering comprehensive health benefits can be a key differentiator in attracting and retaining top talent.
Overall, digital healthcare is transforming the way we approach medical services, making them more accessible and affordable for everyone. Providing employees with healthcare is a vital investment in their well-being and the organisation’s success. It leads to a healthier, more engaged, and productive workforce, which ultimately benefits both employees and employers. Digital healthcare solutions like Bupa Well+ make it easier than ever to offer these services, ensuring that employees have access to the care they need when they need it. By embracing digital health solutions, employers can support their employees’ health and wellbeing, leading to a more productive and motivated workforce. Find out more about Well+ here.
