Healthcare is also one of the few sectors that is witnessing a boom during the ongoing global health crisis. Companies across the region are looking to provide employees with healthcare protection so that they can return to the workplace on time.
In order to support companies during this time, HealthMetrics is extending its offering to both outpatient and inpatient care benefits.
“As we look to expand across the region, we aim to provide companies and their employees with more well-rounded digital solutions which meet their current needs that have evolved since we founded our company five years ago,” Yuan added.
In 2018, HealthMetrics raised seed capital from Spiral Ventures, Cradle and RHL Ventures.
