Inspiring better self-care and healthy living in Asia

Philips’ inaugural Healthy Living in Asia survey of 4,000 people in Singapore, Indonesia, South Korea, and Thailand, released around International Self-Care Day on July 24th, reveal a ‘wellness gap’ in the region, with potential for personal health technology to play a bigger role in preventive health.

Over 94% of respondents in Asia recognise the importance of preventive health, yet nearly half (45%) feel that they could do more than they currently do to keep themselves healthy.

“In the Asia Pacific region, we see that more consumers understand the importance of preventive health and now use personal health technology to actively monitor their health more than before the pandemic. Constant innovation is how we are responding timely to such health trends and help more consumers bridge the gap between tracking their health and taking steps to enhance their everyday well-being. Our personalised innovations inspire more consumer awareness on the interconnected nature of their health and the positive impact of early action,” said Muir Keir, Business Leader, Personal Health, Philips ASEAN Pacific.“

Nearly a third (30%) of respondents now use personal health technologies and devices to actively monitor their health more than they did before the pandemic.

Overall, people in Asia see the potential of personal health technology beyond how it is more commonly used today.

70% and 68% of respondents said they would like to use personal health technology and devices to track their general health and pre-existing diseases, respectively in the next three years. 66% of respondents agreed they would prefer a personal health technology device tailored to their individual needs.

53% listed the ability to customise a device to individual health goals as a key factor when considering the selection of a device, amongst other factors including data accuracy (70%), low cost (65%), health tracking parameters (60%) and durability (48%).
