Borderless Healthcare Group launches O2O platform

Expansion into multi-trillion China healthcare market eyed.

Healthcare technology and service provider Borderless Healthcare Group (BHG) has launched an online-offline (O2O) platform allowing interactive video conferencing between patients and healthcare service providers using digital devices.

With the platform, BHG aims to “revolutionise collaborative care” by encouraging multi-disciplinary health experts to work with caregivers and family members who may not be mobile to visit hospitals.

“One can already leverage on the large screen of their Smart TV to allow multiple members in one home to partake in a call discussion with one or more health professionals", said Dr. Wei Siang Yu, chairman and founder of BHG.

"Consumers demand education from all sectors of healthcare providers,” he added, noting that the technology will allow patients to receive interactive consultation within the comforts of their own homes.

Wei, however, cautioned that the platform is not meant to be used for diagnostic or telehealth consulting. “Through post-diagnosis collaborative care, this platform can help reduce miscommunication among patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals,” he added.

Recently, BHG has launched a similar O2O platform called “Smart Health Smart TV” in China, one of the largest healthcare markets in the world. China also offers exponential growth potential due to its demographics—more than 200 million people are over 60 years old, while an estimated 90 million couples have been made eligible for a second child under the recent second child policy.

Many mobile health and internet health portals have sprung up in China but none are interoperable with digital devices, such as computers, smart TVs, smartphones, and the cloud. BHG hopes to harness opportunities within the country’s real estate industry, where many developers are keen to promote smart home development.

To attract Singapore-based doctors and other allied health professionals, BHG has set up a local chapter of its Smart Life Alliance to provide training, integration, and support.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
