Key Features of AIA “Health & Wellness 360”:
AIA strives to be the lifelong health partner of its customers, and the all-new AIA “Health & Wellness 360” takes care of them from the three aspects of “Live Well”, “Protect Well” and “Get Well”:

 

“Live Well”
Starting with daily habits, AIA helps customers to monitor their health conditions closely, build a healthy lifestyle, prevent diseases and stay healthy.
 
  • Brand-New Digital Health Assistant: With the “AIA Connect” mobile app, customers can input their symptoms and the brand-new Digital Health Assistant will conduct a preliminary examination of the symptoms using AI technology.

  • Free Wellness Activities: The Hong Kong Observation Wheel and AIA Vitality Park on the Central Harbourfront feature a wide range of free health and wellness activities – like yoga classes, music performances and family-friendly events – to encourage people to embrace a healthy lifestyle.
  • Free Medical Check-Up Services: Specified protection plans come with free medical check-up services for customers to better understand their health conditions.

“Protect Well”
AIA offers innovative and comprehensive health protection products, paired with an extensive and high-quality medical network, to answer the needs of customers. In case of illness, customers can focus on their treatments and need not worry about unexpected medical expenses.
 
  • Extensive and Quality Medical Network: AIA's network covers 20 specialty services and more than 450 panel doctors.

    • Medical Protection: AIA provides various medical protection plans for customers to choose from based on their needs and budget, alleviating their financial burden of healthcare expenses.

    • Critical Illness Protection: The insured will receive financial support via a lump sum payment if they are diagnosed with a critical illness, in order to ease their financial burden so they can focus on their treatment.

AIA stepped it up today with the introduction of “Rehabilitation Management” and “Medical Concierge Service”. From diagnosis, treatment to rehabilitation, the services offer access to third-party expert advice and a personalised treatment and rehabilitation plan to help customers overcome a serious illness and return to a healthy life.
