The prediabetes tests jointly offered by Gojek & Doctor Anywhere is part of Gojek’s National Day celebrations which also included partnership with Sport Singapore to promote health and fitness among driver-partners.
Gojek offered some 2,000 driver-partners access to a fully-subsidised prediabetes risk test, under its driver benefits programme, GoalBetter.
“These wellness initiatives are testament to Gojek and Doctor Anywhere’s joint commitment to boost driver-partners’ health and wellness, and improve their quality of life. To show our continued support, we brought our staff down to the ‘Get Active with Gojek!’ event to promote healthy living amongst driver-partners’ and celebrate their achievements, and we look forward to more meaningful health engagement initiatives like this in the near future!” said Lim Wai Mun, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Doctor Anywhere.
The tests are part of a trial that started on August 8.
They will be funded by Gojek, and represent a joint effort between Gojek and Doctor Anywhere to help driver partners detect health conditions early and take charge of their health, and to support the Singapore government’s ongoing war on diabetes.
Driver-partners must have qualified for GoalBetter to be eligible for the trial.
To take the test, drivers can sign up with Gojek and visit any of Doctor Anywhere’s eight clinics islandwide.
Following the trial, Gojek will explore expanding the initiative to the rest of its driver-partners.
Gojek’s GoalBetter driver benefits programme was launched in April, 2019.
Nearly 150 driver-partners have been using telehealth services on Doctor Anywhere, on the back of Gojek’s partnership with Doctor Anywhere, a healthcare app that offers a holistic range of health and wellness services on a single, integrated platform.
“We want to do more to promote mental health and physical fitness among our driver-partners, who are an important part of the Gojek community. We hope that through our sport and wellness initiatives, we can encourage them to exercise more, lead more active lives, and also inspire their loved ones to stay healthy,” said Lien Choong Luen, General Manager of Gojek Singapore.
Gojek also partnered with Sport Singapore to organise ‘Get Active with Gojek!’, an inaugural sport and wellness event to help driver-partners lead healthier lives and foster team spirit within the Gojek community.
Held on August 7 at the Singapore Sports Hub, the event saw nearly 200 drivers, Gojek employees and partners come together to improve their fitness.
The event included a big group workout (featuring moves from the 2019 GetActive! Singapore NDP Workout), as well as a session for driver-partners to engage with Gojek’s various partners, including wellness partners such as Doctor Anywhere and Gigacover, to learn how to leverage their telehealth platform and insurance products, respectively.
