Three telemedicine firms under Ayala Corp. and Globe Telecom Inc. yesterday agreed to consolidate their operations in a one-stop health superapp starting in the first quarter of 2023.
In a statement, Globe Group corporate venture builder Globe Capital Venture Holdings Inc. (917Ventures); Ayala Healthcare Holdings Inc. (AC Health), the healthcare portfolio arm of the Ayala Group, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Vigos Ventures Inc.; and Salud Interactiva S.A. DE C.V. said they have agreed to the reorganization of Global Telehealth Inc. (KonsultaMD), HealthNow Inc. and APPPPS Partners Inc. (AIDE) to combine their respective applications in one superapp.
“By combining the strengths of each of the three entities, I am excited to see the new KonsultaMD support AC Health’s vision of an integrated healthcare ecosystem,’’ said Paolo Borromeo, AC Health president and chief executive officer.
The deal combines three market-leading telehealth applications — KonsultaMD which serves teleconsultations, HealthNow which serves medicine deliveries and AIDE which serves laboratory tests and home care — into one full service health superapp, the new KonsultaMD. Altogether, the companies have an existing user base of over 2 million.
The full service health superapp aims to go live by the ï¬rst quarter of 2023.
