Add PKB to your corporate wellness program
Including PKB accounts in your corporate wellness program delivers a number of benefits. Immediately, it would make PKB available to all your staff as a corporate benefit. The software allows employees to store their medical records online for easy access with their clinical teams, including a smartphone app that saves the data offline for travel. PKB supports over a hundred of the latest consumer devices for home monitoring. They are affordable and available at your local pharmacy chain or Amazon store. The devices can measure and transfer data about weight, temperature, blood pressure and glucose measurements, which is convenient for staff managing their long term conditions.
Offering PKB to staff could also be the first step in reducing private insurance costs. When we founded PKB back in 2008, the first investor we contacted was Dr David Rearick because of his book "Good Health is Good Business". In it he documented how corporations could fund screening programs (e.g. measuring blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol) and receive a return on this investment from reduced insurance costs. The costs would come down because enough employees would discover and understand their health risks to improve their lifestyle. You can read our interview with Dr Rearick on the PKB podcast.
Eventually, using PKB would reduce the time employees took off work because PKB permits online consultations, and we are being used by an increasing number of hospitals. Online consultations dramatically reduce the time taken off work because a 10-minute appointment means at least half a day off for the employee. Furthermore we know that busy professionals often delay seeking treatment as they prioritise the demands of their job over taking off that half day, which in the long term reduces their productivity at work. Around 25% of appointments can be handled completely online and PKB's software supports this convenience while maintaining quality and safety of care.
