iCare HMO Philippines’ Telemed7 platform, developed by and in partnership with Megamobile, won AI Initiative of the Year at the 2026 Insurance Asia Awards.
Telemed7 was recognized for simplifying accessibility for medical consultations by automating appointments enabled through a bot and connecting members with licensed doctors and physicians as quickly as 7 minutes.
The platform maximized its reach through Megamobile’s development on Viber, one of the biggest messaging and social channels in the market, by having 24/7 availability that actively responds to queries and request at any point in the day and enabling requesting of leave of absence (LOA) via the messaging app. This aided in reducing wait times and providing accessible healthcare for members wherever they are located.
By being free and needing only internet access to use, Telemed7 provided ease of requesting for members. This level of accessibility to the platform delivered a rapid growth in iCare’s user base.
The award underscores both Megamobile and iCare’s focus on ensuring emerging and current technologies can provide users with smooth experiences to services through digital solutions and automation. It highlights the importance of digital health initiatives and platforms in providing accessible benefits and combat rising healthcare costs.
iCare’s evolution towards Singapore-based Value-Based Healthcare is exemplified by its increased investment in technology and customer experience to enable Filipinos better quality healthcare.
The Insurance Asia Awards by Insurance Asia celebrates insurers across the Asia-Pacific region that continuously innovates, improve, and deliver customer experience, business, and social impact through technology, products, and initiatives.
