In fact, we might even get annoyed if we couldn\u2019t! So, why isn\u2019t it as convenient with healthcare?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>500-backed on-demand healthcare company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homage.sg\/\">Homage<\/a>&nbsp; has been changing that, and Co-founder &amp; CEO Gillian Tee <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3hMp0fA\">razor-focused on tackling the challenge of keeping up with the demand for care as Asia ages<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The company\u2019s platform enables families to hire part-time and full-time caregivers for as little as one hour to flexible prepaid packages of up to 200 hours. The team has also expanded its services to offer telemedicine, medicine delivery, and the sale of medical products.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not only that, the team can send a caregiver within 2 days, arrange video consultation appointments within 30 minutes, and schedule house calls within a day!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This push for digitalized healthcare services is critical as Asia-Pacific is predicted to account for 60% of the world\u2019s over-65 population and will have 250 million diabetics in the next decade.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Homage\u2019s numbers speak for themselves too. The company\u2019s expansion into Malaysia in 2018 boosted revenue by 170%. Gillian added that sales more than tripled in 2021, and international revenues grew eightfold in the past 18 months, following another expansion, this time into Australia.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Meanwhile, she is throwing just as much weight into incentivizing healthcare professionals to join her team. Through a partnership with an insurtech firm, Homage provides healthcare benefits to all its healthcare professionals and their dependents. During the pandemic, the company launched a fund to provide them with financial support too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cOur care professionals are our main clients,\u201d Gillian explained. \u201cWe should take care of them. Why? So that they can take care of other people.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read the full story on <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3hMp0fA\">Forbes<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Healthcare that begins with a tap of the finger<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":3748,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[322],"tags":[335],"class_list":["post-3747","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily","tag-homage"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 -
