Collinson Group and babylon tie up on digital health

Insurance and assistance firm, Collinson Group, has partnered with digital health specialist, babylon, to enhance its product portfolio, including Collinson’s international private medical insurance product. Users of the new digital app provided by babylon will have free video or telephone access to a doctor at any time wherever they are in the world. Additional features include a symptom checker and e-prescription issuing to local pharmacies for expatriates.

Rebecca White of Collinson Group said:

‘We believe that advances in technology and digital capabilities mean that digital health will increasingly become a mainstream part of the medical and travel insurance service suite, particularly as mobile devices become more sophisticated and the options for remote diagnostics and virtual support escalate.’
