Why you need a health app in your phone today!
Our lives have been made easier by smartphones. You can use a smartphone to make a call, order food, buy clothes, set an alarm to wake up on time, and a lot more. In fact, most of us cannot even imagine our lives without our handy smartphones.
All important functions on smartphones are carried out through apps dedicated to these functions. One of the most important apps that you should consider downloading is a health app. Leading insurers in Singapore have their own health apps that can bring a lot of utility into your life. Let’s take a look at some of the key features a health app can offer you.
1.Health tips
The long lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic left many of us cooped up at home. Exercise and diets may get neglected in favour of binging on food in front of the television. As venues and activities have opened up again, it is now time to once again get back into routine. A health app can help you with all the necessary lifestyle tips you need to get back in shape and stay fit. You can use a health app to watch quick videos on staying fit and also to read articles on keeping healthy. This way, you have your well-being at your fingertips.
2. Symptom checker
It is not always possible to rush to a doctor when we feel ill. If you feel a dull headache or back ache in the middle of the night, you may need to wait until morning to get medical advice. Also, you may want to avoid crowds in the current pandemic. In such a situation, having a symptom checker on your smartphone can prove handy. You can use your health app to check your symptoms and what they possibly indicate. While this is not a complete substitute for a doctor’s professional diagnosis, it can give a bit of insight until you get to a clinic.
3. Doctor consultations
If your symptoms are worrying you, you can use the health app for a video consultation with a doctor. You can get a quick consultation with a Singapore registered doctor. If you need any medicines, those too can be delivered at a fee. These consultations are quite affordable; around S$15 for a single consultation session. This convenience can truly help when you are unwell.
4. Micro insurance
You can use a health app to buy micro insurance plans. Micro insurance plans cover specific illnesses at affordable costs. Some of the plans that you can buy through a health app include breast cancer insurance, prostate cancer insurance, and dengue insurance cover. So, no matter how busy your schedule is, you can get the coverage you need with a few clicks.
5. Check BMI
You can also use your health app to check your BMI (body mass index) so that you can stay on track with your fitness goals.
Apart from these features, some health apps by insurance companies also let you keep track of your insurance and investment plans, set and track financial goals for the future, receive help with budgeted spending, and get personalized finance tips and suggestions.
So, go ahead and download a health app today to enjoy the benefits that it offers. Take care and stay fit!
