Digital healthcare solutions integrated with Microsoft Teams to enable organisations to empower employees to manage health and wellness
Apollo 24|7, the digital arm of the Apollo Hospitals Group and Microsoft India have joined hands to launch Enterprise Solution that can be utilised by organisations to provide their employees access to a holistic health and wellness solution within the Microsoft work suite. The Enterprise Solution – as integrated by Apollo 24|7 – has been tested in a pilot program for Microsoft India employees for three months.
As part of the pilot programme, 5000 Microsoft employees were given access to this enterprise platform and over 50 per cent of them chose to take virtual consultations with an Apollo doctor during April–June. In addition to virtual consultations, over 2,600 medicine orders were also placed using the App, which was delivered at the doorsteps of the consumers in record time. Each of the registered Microsoft employees had access to over 7,000 doctors and specialists across the Apollo network.
A user has access to medical teleconsultation, vaccine booking, pharmacy, diagnostic tests, electronic health records, and wellness programmes with just a click of the button. The Enterprise Solution enables a user to consult an Apollo Doctor within 15 minutes of requesting a consult; order medicines from the wide network of Apollo Pharmacies; and request for a sample collection from home for prescribed diagnostic tests within Microsoft Teams itself.
“Healthcare is evolving to meet the immediate and future demands during the global health crisis. With the advancements in technology, people across the globe are embracing digital healthcare solutions. Apollo 24|7 has been developed to provide access to quality care to everyone. We are excited to partner with Microsoft during this pandemic to support organizations for employee wellbeing,” said Madhu Aravind, CTO, Apollo 24|7.
The latest digital health offering by India’s largest healthcare provider combines Apollo Group’s extensive physical network and capabilities with a comprehensive and distinctive digital ecosystem.
Meetul Patel, Executive Director, Strategic Growth, Microsoft, said, “Our partnership with Apollo has helped bring this access right into the flow-of -work by making resources easy to access from within Microsoft Teams which serves in so many ways as the “Office” in the emerging work environment.”
