BOC Life and ReMark partner to launch a brand new Health & Wellness engagement platform
BOC Group Life Assurance Company Limited (‘BOC Life’) collaborates with ReMark and Garmin® to launch the Live Young Rewards App in Hong Kong empowering local customers’ fitness and wellbeing while building a health and wellness ecosystem in advocating the “live longer and healthier” concept in the Hong Kong community.
The parties announced today the app’s by invitation only pilot launch, targeting a group of selected key stakeholders, such as BOC Life’s VIP customers, business partners and employees. The invited group will join the app trial to experience the app and its excitement. The pilot run aims to gauge user feedback and insights for enhancement while paving the way for its official city-wide debut later this year.
Know your body, move your body
Live Young Rewards App is based on SCOR’s Biological Age Model BAMTM algorithm that combines five health metrics to calculate a person’s biological age; an easy-to-understand indicator of overall health. Connecting with smartphones or wearable devices, such as Garmin smartwatches and fitness trackers, the app sets daily fitness and activity goals and tracks progress with a user-friendly interface. Users can participate in various challenges, connect to their friends with social features, and earn points and rewards aimed at driving healthy behaviour change. By aligning with consumer’s health goals, insurers can nurture a healthier, high-return portfolio that has a positive impact on people's morbidity and mortality risks, beneficial to the insurers, their customers as well as the society at large.
"At BOC Life, we care dearly about our customers’ health and wellbeing. Our partnership with ReMark is an exciting step in creating a truly integrated health and wellness ecosystem that helps people change to live a healthier lifestyle."
