AC Health, 917Ventures urge doctors nationwide to embrace telehealth

 


The pandemic has fully disrupted healthcare in the Philippines. Thousands nationwide are unable to visit medical centers given the risks, the social distancing measures in place, and even the lack of transportation available. As such, Ayala Healthcare Holdings, Inc. (AC Health), the healthcare arm of the Ayala Group, and 917Ventures, a wholly-owned corporate incubator of Globe, are urging doctors nationwide to embrace telehealth to address the primary healthcare needs of patients. 


Many doctors are also struggling to find the chance to talk to patients face-to-face. Thus, Paolo Borromeo, AC Health President and CEO, said it is time for medical practitioners to explore telehealth services like HealthNow to reach their patients faster, easier, and in a more convenient and safe manner.





“Our goal is to give new opportunities for doctors all over the country, particularly those outside Metro Manila, to meet their patients. With HealthNow, everything is done digitally and the entire process is very simple and easy to use. Ultimately, we believe that health technology is a key enabler to our network, and that through this platform, we can provide care whenever or wherever our patients need us,” said Borromeo.


HealthNow, powered by AC Health’s Vigos Health and Globe’s 917Ventures, is a primary care platform that offers telemedicine consultations, online medicine ordering and delivery, and clinic and diagnostic testing booking. It allows doctors to practice their profession anytime and anywhere in order to attend to more patients and support continuity of care, while managing their time and schedule.


Vince Yamat, 917Ventures Managing Partner, said:  “We are here to help solve problems beyond connectivity in the areas of education, health, e-commerce, and other sectors. That is why we  build, operate, and scale new businesses like HealthNow.  We believe in the importance of telehealth today more than ever.  As patient demand shifts to digital health, we encourage our medical community to join HealthNow so that together we can continue to serve the healthcare needs of the Filipino people.”


The platform provides an opportunity for doctors to reach and serve a wider patient base. Beyond providing access to easy teleconsultation solutions and securing medical records, HealthNow also allows doctors to seamlessly monitor and assist in the journey of their patients. 


By joining HealthNow, doctors have free use of an Electronic Medical Record platform which includes medical charting, e-prescription, and doctor and diagnostic referrals. They can also accept virtual consultations and in-person appointments through a schedule management tool. 


HealthNow connects a patient to a licensed physician for consultation through the use of video technology. Patients can select their preferred doctors. Once appointment is confirmed, the licensed physician may collect clinical history, create a treatment plan, render medical advice, recommend the conduct of diagnostic procedures and prescribe medication, provide follow-up care, and/or refer the patient to another physician, clinic, or hospital. This is similar to the procedure during a regular clinic visit.


HealthNow also provides a platform that allows users to order medicines from licensed pharmacies and schedule an appointment for outpatient services through partner clinics and laboratories.


HealthNow app is available in Google Play for Android and the App Store for iOS. For interested doctors, they may apply at https://provider.healthnow.ph/.

Cherry is a Philippine-based company offering an extensive variety of products in communication technology, Internet of Things (IoT) system, home, personal, health and pet essentials, creating one ecosystem. Cherry carries an array of brands and services under its belt: Cherry Mobile, Cherryroam, Cherry Home, and Cherry Pet.


'One CHERRY, One Ecosystem' officially launched

CHERRY Mobile launched 'One CHERRY, One Ecosystem' and presented via virtual event on September 29,2020



As the brand steps into a new decade, CHERRY has taken a full transition to further serve the Filipinos by continuously innovating and building an ecosystem of products that will meet the needs of its evolving market, making their life easier and improving the overall lifestyle of the progressive Filipinos. 




Guided with the vision of its founder and Chief Executive officer, Maynard S. Ngu, the new CHERRY will continue to be a cut above the rest, but this time with a bigger goal in mind: to dominate the Philippine market by offering wide range of products and services that will cater to its evolving market under a conglomerate. “Since the groundbreaking catapult of Cherry Mobile in 2009, we are happy to announce that our vision to create one ecosystem for the Filipinos is now a reality. 

CHERRY carries an array of brands and services under its belt: Cherry Mobile, Cherry Prepaid, Cherryroam, Cherry Home, and Cherry Pet, offering extensive variety of products in communication technology, Internet of Things (IoT) system, home, health, personal, and even pet essentials.


CHERRY will continue to offer relevant products and pursue innovation to meet the needs of its evolving market and improve their overall quality of life. The new logo and name signify the start of the company’s mission to further reach out to our market through the same value-for-money and quality innovations that we’ve been offering since then. CHERRY will be the same brand that Filipinos have loved from the beginning. The brand has evolved and remains a proudly Filipino brand, for the Filipinos,” Ngu proudly shares.


The New Logo: Stability and Balance

One of the notable changes in CHERRY’s new logo is the icon which has a subtle resemblance to the Yin & Yang symbol. The brand has dropped the iconic fusion of “Cherry” and “Mobile” on the icon and replaced it with a combined swoosh of its original pantone colors of red, white, and gray. “The new logo signifies the balance, stability, strength and unity of brands, with the company’s mission to further reach out to our market through the same value-for-money innovations that we’ve been offering since then. CHERRY will be the same brand that Filipinos have loved since then, only this time we’re going bigger and better,” Ngu added.

It can also be seen that the brand has removed the word “mobile” on their new logo, with an all-caps “CHERRY” dominating the design. This symbolizes the company’s direction to gear towards a bigger vision and serve the Filipino market through a variety of products and services fitting to their needs and lifestyles. Further, the removal of the word “mobile” on the logo does not mean that the brand will no longer provide smartphones, but is a kickoff to better and bigger innovations from CHERRY.

The new logo has made an initial debut on the brand’s newly released Cherry Ion Personal Wearable Air Purifier, an everyday new norm essential. Moving forward, all products will also carry the new CHERRY logo. 


The Ecosystem of Brands: Bigger and Better

What started out as a mobile phone brand in 2009 with only four (4) units to showcase, CHERRY now carries an array of brands and services under its belt. Including Cherry Mobile, Cherry Prepaid, Cherryroam, Cherry Home, and Cherry Pet.

Seeing beyond the sole desire to bring innovative devices and affordable technology to the Filipino market, Cherry establishes solid partnerships with the most trusted technology leaders in terms of hardware, software, and peripherals. It has ventured on its telecommunication services through Cherry Prepaid, a data-centric prepaid sim, in partnership with Globe Telecom. Cherry Prepaid provides affordable prepaid data services to the Filipinos across the archipelago since 2015 and has activated more than five million subscribers nationwide. 

“Our goal is to provide Filipinos with a diversified prepaid mobile service from data, call and text packages at affordable prices allowing them to be connected every day of the year”, Ngu shared.  

Later on, it has widened its global reach through the Cherryroam, your ultimate travel WiFi roaming device with fast, stable and secured internet connection to over 160 countries worldwide.   

Understanding the need of today’s household modern lifestyle, CHERRY launched its IoT Internet of Things) arm through the Cherry Home brand last 2019, providing its consumers the security, convenience, and peace of mind they truly deserve. These products are connected and integrated in one platform that works well with different IoT systems. From switches, sockets, to cameras, locks, and even home appliances. Cherry Home is set to bring a life full of convenience in a smart way.


The New Normal: Resiliency and Relevance

The current situation that has created public health risk and anxiety. And with the so-called new norm, CHERRY has recently launched products that offer added protection. From Cherry Ion and Cherry Ion Lite, both personal wearable air purifiers to room air purifiers, UV lamps and more. “The severity of the situation has given us humanitarian challenge in all aspects of our lives right now. The duration is still unknown. All we can do is to manage it seriously by ensuring that we are protected and safe. Thus, CHERRY is providing health essential devices that are relevant as added protection at very affordable price points. We want to make sure that every one has access and is able to own these essentials as their added protection,” Mr. Ngu added.

As CHERRY expands its horizons, it continues to uphold better customer care and its after-sales through a big number of service centers nationwide accessible to all their consumers in the country.
