Product Update New mobile healthcare app to bridge gap between patient and doctor A n e w i n n o v a t i v e mobile healthcare app, MyMedicNow, has been launched in the UAE to h e l p b r i d g e g a p between patients and doctors. It also helps patients search for medical conditions and f i n d r e l a t e d l o c a l healthcare providers. The launch is timely as UAE's mobile health industry is positioned for a robust growth, said t h e f o u n d e r s a n d d e v e l o p e r s o f MyMedicNow. T h e G l o b a l M o b i l e H e a l t h ( m H e a l t h ) Market is poised to grow at a CAGR of around 33.8 per cent over the next decade to reach $181.52 billion by 2025, according to a report by Research-2Guidance Annual mHealth – 2016. MyMedicNow takes a unique approach of connecting patients with the right doctors by allowing patients to search by symptoms or medical conditions. The new app aims to help patients search for medical conditions and find related local healthcare providers quickly and efficiently. The app is currently available on iOS, Android and via a web portal. "From life-saving medications to cutting-edge treatments, the healthcare industry thrives on constant innovation. However, the biggest recent breakthrough in healthcare is the smart phone and its apps," Dhaval Desai, CEO of MyMedicNow, said. "They say there's an app for everything, but the best ones are the apps that will get you out of a bind when emergency strikes. MyMedicNow is abound with convenient solutions that not only help improve people's lives, but also helps make informed choices easier and faster while ensuring doctors and hospitals are better connected to patients," he said. It has been noted that two-thirds of the world's population has a mobile connection, and thanks to the growing mobile health (mHealth) industry - a blanket term for the apps, services and devices found at the intersection of medicine and mobile technology - people are using their phones to manage their health in ever more innovative ways. The report also said that almost 100,000 health-related apps have been added by 13,000 new publishers to the market since 2015. At that moment, there had already been 259,000 medical apps in major app stores. “Smartphones are easily accessible, and this has transformed not just the mobile industry, but also the healthcare sector. However, when people hear about health apps, the general assumption is fitness tracker. In reality, there are more healthcare consulting apps to help patients and users with easy information. MyMedicNow is one such app which ensures quick access of information with a user-friendly interface and quick and accurate results,” Desai added. Boecker® showcases Public Health Solutions Boecker®, the Middle East's largest public health company, brings over two decades of experience in pest management, food safety and biosecurity solutions to the annual Gulfood Manufacturing Exhibition. The threeday event takes place in Dubai from 31st October to 2nd November. The company is set to introduce its newly designed certification programme named OHS LiteTM. The programme was tailor-made to service the F&B industry and address occupational health and safety concerns in the workplace. The Certification is assured by the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) in the UK and approved by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA). Commenting on OHS Lite, Boecker® UAE Country Manager Mr. AbdulHadi Chalak said, “According to reports from the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention, nearly 55 percent of the federal government's expenditure on treatment of non-communicable diseases is spent on employee-related illnesses and diseases. This results in an annual 44 percent productivity loss. Boecker designed its OHS LiteTM certification programme to audit and train employees on the basis of occupational health and safety. This will enhance their working conditions and improve their level of compliance with international standards.” Boecker will also highlight its comprehensive Pest Manag-ement services for business and industrial premises, in addition to its Infection Control PlanTM (ICPTM), an on-site professional disinfecting service that safely & effectively eliminates microorganisms & provides a long-term sanitized environment. 34
