Investment in health-related business

As the world increasingly shifts toward a digital society, access to a wide range of services, including medical care, has become more available. In response to this transformation, WHA Group seized the opportunity to innovate by developing “WHAbit”, an application designed to enhance the accessibility of health and wellbeing data for our industrial clients and tenants. This application provides a variety of medical services, such as telemedicine, health reporting, and data analysis allowing individual to access their health data and manage their health and wellbeing 24/7 at a reduced cost.

WHAbit application incorporates technology into communication systems along with data analysis for disease diagnosis. WHA Group’s customers should fill in the health information of their employees which enables us to evaluate and identify the users’ health risk assessment. This allows WHA Group to identify health risk levels of each company and further implement appropriate health management strategies to improve health and wellbeing of our tenants.

WHA Group launched and provided the WHAbit application to the public in 2023, allowing users to access medical services online. The application features include:

1) Telemedicine Services: This service offers consultation, advice, treatment, and follow-up via video call (VDO Call) and chat. It operates as a Virtual Hospital, allowing patients and doctors to interact in real-time. This service enables patients to access medical care from anywhere, at any time, reducing travel time, waiting time at hospitals, and costs. It also includes direct insurance claims processing through hospitals without the need for upfront payment.

2) Health Report Service: This service provides health reports through the application, compiling and analyzing health data from annual check-ups and various measurements. The results are displayed in easy-to-understand graphs. The system sends automatic alerts when abnormal health values are detected, along with personalized health care recommendations or plans. This helps users access their health information anytime, anywhere, and reduces the risk of non-communicable diseases.

3) Fit & Fun Service: This program promotes health and exercise to enhance employee engagement within the organization. It uses the Engagement Challenge format to motivate users to participate in various health activities in a fun and effective manner through the WHAbit application.

4) Health Content Service: This service provides comprehensive and reliable health content through the WHAbit application.

5) Health Advice Service: This service offers health advice from experts, presented in the form of personalized blog content. Specifically, employees and tenants in industrial factories located within WHA industrial estates will have access to comprehensive medical services through WHAbit. This directly impacts the reduction of healthcare benefits costs for industrial operators, such as lowering health insurance claims, reducing the costs of finding replacement personnel, and minimizing compensation payments to employees in case of accidents. This platform can generate approximately 1.1 million Baht per year for WHA Group. Furthermore, the WHAbit platform can help communities, especially those working in industrial factories within the industrial estates, with a population of more than 250,000 people, access medical services comprehensively.

This reduces the financial burden of traveling to various healthcare facilities and the loss of income from taking leave, saving approximately 300-1,800 Baht per visit instead of going to a healthcare facility.

Additionally, this innovation can address the shortage of medical personnel in remote rural areas. The telemedicine system reduces travel expenses for medical staff and the need to recruit sufficient medical personnel for each area. This results in hospitals and both public and private healthcare providers reducing costs, the burden of treatment, and expenses, while also saving time. Moreover, promoting good health among the population helps reduce government expenditure on welfare and lowers the risk of infection when receiving services at healthcare facilities. It also cuts travel expenses and saves time. Telemedicine services provide opportunities and improve the quality of life for the underprivileged, children, women, people with disabilities, and the elderly, closing the gap in medical treatment access inequality.

Recently, the number of WHAbit users are 636 person from 7 companies. In 2024, the target of WHAbit users will be 5,000 person or 200 companies to expand the access of medical services to a wider range of customers. Through WHAbit applications, our individual users can easily seek medical consultation and receive early intervention which prevent more severe health issues. With larger data pool, WHAbit application can provide more accurate health data analysis allows us to develop health management approach to promote health and wellbeing for our customers.
