Belgian health insurer Helan offers FibriCheck for free to its clients

Since the beginning of 2022, several Belgian health insurers – including Helan – have started with a reimbursement of up to 20 euros per calendar year for the use of a medical app like FibriCheck. In our partnership with Helan – one of Belgium’s largest health insurers – we have now gone one step further. Helan members can monitor their heart rhythm free of charge for a year. An evolution that is beneficial for both health insurers and their customers.

Today, healthcare systems are often focussing on the treatment of diseases, and less actions are being taken in terms of prevention. This has not only contributed to ever-increasing healthcare costs, but it also leads to a lot of health concerns that could be prevented. Luckily, we are starting to see some changes.

By adding the reimbursement of digital health applications such as FibriCheck to their offering, health insurers are able to build more meaningful relationships with their clients while also gaining a competitive edge.

Expanding scope from treatment to prevention

Whereas up until now health insurer focus was mostly aimed at the processing and payment of claims, we are now starting to see attention expand to prevention as well thanks to the use of digital solutions, which help people live a healthier life.

By facilitating access to FibriCheck, health insurers achieve several goals:

  • Take on a more active role in the detection phase.
  • Help prevent serious complications, e.g. a stroke.
  • Follow up on clients once a diagnosis has been established.
  • Make it possible for their clients to take control over their own health.
  • Provide much-needed information about heart rhythm disorders like atrial fibrillation and risk factors

Gain insights about your clients’ health

FibriCheck collects anonymized data from its users in a secure way. With the help of this information, health insurers can gain valuable insights into the health patterns and trends of their members. This data can also contribute to a better understanding of customers and their needs, which can help insurers offer services that are tailored to their clients. Effectively using this data can help streamline operations and improve market position.
