Healthcare provider launches app

Global preventive healthcare provider’  Healthlane has launched a new app that would enable users live longer and healthier life.

This Healthlane app, will help users to book for comprehensive world-class check-ups, view medical tests results and records, see health scores and get a comprehensive care plan around nutrition, exercise, sleep and supplements.
This was disclosed at the formal opening of its Lagos facility in Lekki, Lagos, the Chief Executive Officer of Healthlane, Mr. Alain Nteff explained further that the organsation provides comprehensive wellness checks and personalised care plans for easy understanding, tracking and improvement of individuals health.

While addressing journalists, Nteff said their mission is “to simplify how individuals understand, track and improve their health. Enabling longer and healthier lives and reducing the dependence on an overburdened primary healthcare system”.
He further clarified that healthcare has been mistaken to mean sick care.

“The former is consulting a physician after feeling sick and experiencing symptoms while the latter (Healthcare) is about nutrition, exercise, supplements, lifestyle and check-ups. Healthlane’s focus is preventing people from falling sick and enabling people to live longer and healthier lives.”
Nteff stated that it is a good time for the brand to launch into the health sector seeing how the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the digitisation of different sectors.

“Today, people are now comfortable accessing their medical records on their smartphones. They are more concerned about preventing themselves so they don’t fall prey to certain diseases. We all know that if you are diabetic or hypertensive, you are more affected if you contract Covid-19 compared to someone who is relatively healthy. There is a growing trend of services being deployed through technology and that is where we have positioned ourselves,” Nteff noted
