Healthlane Launches Preventive Healthcare App for Longer, Healthier Lives

Healthlane, a global preventive healthcare provider, has launched the Healthlane App, a preventive healthcare technology that fosters comprehensive world-class medical care for longer and healthier lives.

The App, which can be accessed on smartphones and Androids, allows users to book doctors appointments, view medical tests results and records, see health score, access care plan, and nutrition tips.

Speaking at the recent launch of its Lagos facility, the CEO of Healthlane, Mr. Alain Nteff, said its mission is to simplify how individuals understand, track and improve their health.

This, he emphasised, is to enable longer and healthier lives whilst reducing the dependence on an overburdened primary health care system.

For Nteff, healthcare has been mistaken to mean sick care. While he clarified that the former is consulting a physician after feeling sick and experiencing symptoms, 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,” he hinted.

Seeing how the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the digitisation of different sectors, the CEO admitted, “Today, people are now comfortable accessing their medical records on their smartphones.

“They are more concerned about protecting 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.”

He, however, highlighted that there is a growing trend of services being deployed through technology and that is where Healthlane has positioned itself.
