The post-COVID world has brought about changes in many dimensions, particularly in the "trend of health care for the modern workforce," which has become one of the challenging issues for every organization. Good health not only impacts work efficiency but also reflects the "corporate culture" of caring for employee health beyond just providing compensation or job security. Additionally, it positively affects the organization's image in attracting quality employees who want to join. At the same time, with the increasing trend of integrating health technology (Digital Health) into the daily lives of workers—ranging from health tracking apps and smartwatches to online doctor services (Telemedicine)—it reflects that today’s employees prioritize health care and are familiar with using technology to unlock traditional health care methods that come with time and cost burdens.

To contribute to enhancing the quality of life for Thais, LINE Thailand has launched LINE HEALTH—an official account designed to serve as a central platform connecting over 56 million users with four leading telemedicine providers in Thailand, each specializing in various health needs. This transforms health care into something easily accessible at your fingertips. One of the key partners is Health at Work, a platform focused on health services for the workforce, allowing users to consult doctors via LINE without needing to travel to a hospital, along with home delivery of medications, reducing time and costs while supporting group insurance and outpatient health insurance (OPD), thus enhancing proactive employee welfare that meets the needs of modern organizations.

Whether minor or major health issues, think of Health at Work.

The highlight of Health at Work is its health services for employees with group insurance, allowing easy access to online health services via LINE, covering online doctor consultations, home medication delivery, and health tracking systems—all in one place. Whether dealing with minor illnesses or needing preliminary advice from a doctor before going to the hospital, Health at Work has a team of expert doctors from leading hospitals available for consultations every day from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Doctors will record treatment histories to serve as patient data, and if a patient needs to be referred to a hospital, the doctor will summarize the initial symptoms. After the consultation, medications will be delivered to the home within 1-3 hours in service areas and 1-3 days for some locations, covering the entire country.

Another strength of Health at Work is that having a dedicated team of doctors ensures that each doctor provides consultations based on the same standards. There is also a real-time feedback system from every treatment to help assess and improve the doctors' performance, which differs from using services at general hospitals. Common ailments include Office Syndrome, as well as seasonal illnesses like COVID-19, influenza, diarrhea, and conjunctivitis, which can all be addressed through online consultations without needing to visit a hospital. The service meets the needs of the new generation of employees, leading to many users experiencing a "Magic Moment" with the ease and convenience of the service, prompting them to return for more.

Revolutionizing the health care model for employees, benefiting everyone involved.

Dr. Kanphol Poomiratnaprapin, co-founder and CEO of Health at Work, stated that Health at Work was established in 2021 with the primary goal of developing a new health care model that effectively connects workers with health care, transforming the perception of employees who previously found health care challenging when ill into something easy, as if having a friend who is a doctor. By simply using LINE HEALTH, they can consult a doctor and access services covered by insurance immediately without needing to download additional apps.

“This collaboration with LINE HEALTH marks a significant step in advancing the healthcare system. LINE is a powerful platform for connecting people, and this partnership elevates LINE's role as a gateway for users to access Health at Work directly through LINE HEALTH, with over 100,000 current users and continuous growth,” he added.

Dr. Kanphol also believes in the power of the Health at Work business model designed to benefit all parties involved. First, employees can conveniently use their existing group insurance without needing to take leave, wasting time and incurring travel costs to visit a hospital. By accessing LINE HEALTH, they can consult with specialized doctors and receive medications at home without upfront payments, making it convenient and quick for organizations to enhance employee health care benefits without additional costs. Second, insurance companies can reduce claims costs since telemedicine consultations are generally less expensive than hospital treatments. Third, hospitals can alleviate burdens and reduce congestion, allowing them to allocate limited resources to more complex cases. Furthermore, Health at Work can deliver value-added services and potentially evolve into a "Health Partner" for organizations by using employee health data to design health care programs that precisely meet the needs of employees in each organization, positively impacting the organization in the long run and promoting sustainable employee health improvement. This can be seen as an enhancement of an effective health system at all levels.

This collaboration between Health at Work and LINE HEALTH aligns with the ongoing trend of Digital Health, making access to health care for the new generation easier. Especially in the future, with the integration of technologies like AI and various health devices to help collect health data such as breathing, sleep, heart rate, etc., this will assist in analyzing and enhancing the effectiveness of doctors' diagnoses.
