Development of Early Detection and Intervention Programs

We specialise in developing proactive programs to detect early signs of medical conditions in ‘at-risk’ individuals. This is done by leveraging integrated health data as well as insights from employers and employees.

Subsequently, we recommend customised intervention programs to address the identified problem areas for each individual or group. Our overarching goal is to prevent symptom progression into diagnosable conditions or disabilities resulting in prolonged absenteeism and disability claims.

The following Health Management Services can be offered as part of an Early Detection and Intervention program or individually:

Job Coaching Programs

These programs are often used by insurers to support disability claimants who are unable to return to work at their own employer, due to termination of employment as a result of a medical condition or disability.

These Job Coaching Programs are designed to empower claimants with the essential skills, resources and confidence required to navigate the competitive labour market, including self-employment. This program serves as a cornerstone for overcoming challenges and barriers encountered during the job search process, ultimately supporting claimants in finding a fulfilling and rewarding career.
