For the past five years, since its inception in 2021, AGs Healthcare has been actively promoting preventive healthcare, with a special focus on diabetes screening and the early detection of other comorbid conditions.
Marking World Diabetes Day this year, AGs Healthcare launched an AI-enabled mobile application dedicated to preventive healthcare, which, according to a press release from the clinic, is the first such app in the world.
It was launched on Saturday by Dr. Adityan Guhan, Chief Physician, Founder and Director of AGs Healthcare, and is available on both Android and iOS platforms.
Diabetes remains one of the world’s fastest-growing health challenges. By 2050, the number of people living with diabetes is projected to reach 853 million (85.3 crore), according to a press release issued by AGs Healthcare.
‘Gift of Life’
The application is designed to make preventive healthcare simpler and more accessible. Once users download the app and register using their mobile number, they can explore and book Master Health Check-up packages suited to their age and existing comorbid conditions.
One of its distinctive features is ‘Gift of Life’, which enables individuals to gift a Master Health Check-up package to their loved ones, including family members living abroad, on special occasions. The app also offers a customised health package option, through which users can connect directly with an AGs Healthcare representative to personalise their check-up based on their individual health requirements.
Beyond health packages, the application features an AI-powered chatbot that provides information about laboratory tests and imaging services, helping users understand various diagnostic procedures. Its integrated healthcare marketplace also enables users to book doctor consultations and access diagnostic services, including X-rays, ultrasound scans, echocardiograms (ECHO) and electrocardiograms (ECG).
Emergency Assistance
Another important feature is the SOS facility, which allows users to seek emergency assistance by initiating a call for ambulance services through the application.
The app also includes a dedicated awareness section featuring information on diabetes prevention, the importance of early screening and the benefits of regular Master Health Check-ups. AGs Healthcare plans to continuously expand this section with more relevant and reliable health information.
We reduce financial burden
“Through this initiative, our objective is to encourage people to act early rather than wait for health complications to arise. By promoting timely screening for diabetes and other comorbid conditions, we hope to reduce the emotional and financial burden that patients and their families may face in the future.
We are also committed to providing accessible and ethical health information through the application,” said Dr. Adityan Guhan, Chief Physician, Founder and Director of AGs Healthcare and Master Health Check-up Centre, Sree Narayana Guru Road, Saibaba Colony, Coimbatore.
The application was developed by Logee, who played a key role in designing the mobile platform and was also present at the launch event. Logee delivered the vote of thanks.
