The ongoing health crisis has led to several challenges, including limited access to healthcare. This has significant implications for employers, such as increased absenteeism, decreased productivity, and consequently, escalating costs.
By investing in My Care Premium by AG, in addition to the existing My Care services, you provide your employees with access to digital medical resources. This includes the highly dependable Symptom Checker, available 24/7 and validated by medical professionals. Moreover, it offers immediate access to medical advice from certified Belgian doctors through video consultations on the Doktr app. This initiative not only fosters a healthier and more productive workplace but also underscores your dedication to your employees’ wellbeing.
Why My Care Premium?
Our healthcare system is currently under pressure. The ageing of the population is causing an increasing demand for care and prevention. At the same time, a severe shortage of healthcare providers, due to the current wave of retirements and the growing desire among medical staff for a better work-life balance, is leading to reduced working hours, a decrease in the number of patients accepted and longer waiting times.
- 75% of Belgian GPs rarely or never accept new patients.
- The average GP treats 1,200 patients, compared to 2,500 patients by the retiring generation.
- Waiting times for physical consultations can extend up to 2 weeks, even for regular patients.
With the 24/7 available Symptom Checker, your employees enter their symptoms, after which they are given a list of possible conditions. Unlike the often random and unreliable results of search engines, the Symptom Checker provides direct, personalized and scientifically grounded information based on ten years of medical experience and artificial intelligence.
Do your employees still need a medical consultation? No problem. Through Doktr they can easily get in touch with a recognized Belgian doctor via video consultation without an appointment. Two video consultations per insurance year are included. Additional teleconsultations are always available without restrictions at the expense of your employee.
In addition, anonymous and GDPR-compliant reporting gives you valuable insights that can support your HR policy and help you prioritize actions.
