The product to be introduced this time is 'Happiness Care Comprehensive Insurance 2510' prepared when you are healthy. Kakao Healthcare is characterized by providing healthcare devices and professional counseling services for chronic disease management directly in-kind benefits based on digital healthcare technology and expertise.
In-kind benefits refer to providing goods or services necessary for disease treatment and management on behalf of insurance money for diagnosis when diagnosing a disease. It is the first attempt in the industry to provide digital healthcare services and devices for managing chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure at in-kind benefits by insurance companies.
The two companies noted that while the prevalence of major chronic diseases is increasing, chronic diseases should be managed by patients themselves. In order for patients to continue to manage their health, it was determined that in-kind benefits services such as device payment, usage guidance, and health counseling were needed to provide practical and systematic support. This service helps customers start health care as soon as they are diagnosed with diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
Kakao Healthcare provides customized support according to disease. It provides continuous blood glucose meter (CGM) and professional health counseling services when diagnosing diabetes. When using a continuous blood glucose meter, it is possible to solve the inconvenience of measuring blood glucose through finger blood collection. In addition, one-time attachment allows real-time blood sugar tracking and monitoring for 24 hours for 10 days, which can effectively manage health by checking changes in blood sugar according to lifestyle habits such as diet and exercise.
When diagnosing hypertension, it provides a ring-type continuous blood pressure meter 'CART BP' and professional health counseling services. The cuffless continuous blood pressure meter, which monitors blood pressure changes 24 hours a day, was a device provided by hospitals to patients diagnosed with hypertension, but through this collaboration, it will also support insurance company customers for the first time in Korea.
To launch this service, the two companies signed a comprehensive business agreement in May and agreed to cooperate as strategic partners in the field of chronic disease management. Starting with this collaboration, we plan to continue to expand cooperation by developing data-based personalized health care services and linking insurance products.
A Kakao Healthcare official said, `It is significant that Kakao Healthcare's digital healthcare technology and expertise meet with insurance to provide real health promotion value to customers. Starting with a partnership with DB Insurance, we will support more people to manage chronic diseases easily and conveniently in their daily lives.'
