Investing in Happy Enterprises in the ESG Era: PatientsForce's Innovative Employee Support Program

Employees often find their work impacted by concerns about the health of elderly family members. Companies assisting young employees in coping with the demands of family caregiving are increasingly in demand. This trend has become an important indicator for companies pursuing sustainable development through ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) initiatives in employee care responsibilities.

Furthermore, a company's focus on employee health, especially cardiovascular health, is not only a direct enhancement of employee welfare but also a significant investment in the company's long-term interests. According to data from the World Health Organization, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally, resulting in approximately 17.9 million deaths each year, accounting for 31% of global deaths. Actively investing in employee cardiovascular health can reduce sick leave and medical expenses, boost employee morale, enhance overall productivity, and improve the company's image.

PatientsForce Companion: Leading Corporate Cardiovascular Health Management Solution

The Chiway Health Integration Group, which provides innovative pharmaceutical benefits and patient support program management services, recognizes the importance of cardiovascular disease prevention and management for both enterprises and individuals. By combining digital health solutions, they have introduced employee welfare options, especially for those who have undergone heart surgery or suffer from hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia (commonly known as "three highs"). Paired with Garmin smartwatches featuring electrocardiogram functionality, their professional medical team reads users' electrocardiograms, heart rates, and other vital signs as part of the employee support program service, catering not only to the individual employees but also extending to the health management of their elderly family members at home.

According to a study report from the American Heart Association, regular cardiovascular health data monitoring significantly reduces the incidence of heart disease. The professional medical team remotely monitors the health data collected and provides personalized care plans based on this data. This not only provides real-time feedback and health alerts but also provides important home monitoring data to attending physicians when patients need follow-up visits, making medical treatment plans more precise and adaptable to individual differences.

AX Group Building a Happy Enterprise: Implementation of Employee Health Support Programs

PatientsForce Companion Care team collaborated with AX Group to hold a cardiovascular care health seminar on April 18, 2024, within the company premises. The seminar was conducted by Dr. Liu Zhengjie, a family medicine physician from Hsinchu Branch of Taipei Veterans General Hospital, who served as an expert in employee health. Dr. Liu shared the latest advancements in cardiovascular clinical research, discussing how to prevent cardiovascular risks through health management practices in daily life and emphasizing the importance of seeking medical attention at the earliest signs of warning.

Additionally, the iXensor PixoTest® Blood Glucose Monitoring System provided employees with self-testing services for health, enabling them to grasp their cholesterol status in just three minutes. This includes total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, providing a complete set of four blood lipid values. Furthermore, in conjunction with the Chronic Disease Risk Assessment Platform of the National Health Insurance Administration, it further assists employees in assessing and managing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Through such collaboration and technological application, PatientsForce Companion Care partners with more health management experts and enterprises, providing cutting-edge care resources. By integrating health management with medical referral concepts, the employee support program becomes part of an integrated system for comprehensive health management.
