In an effort to address the common struggle of parents in recalling their child’s medical history during appointments, Filipino startup MILA Business Solutions Corp. has launched the MILA app. This patient-centric application aims to transform the way Filipino families manage their healthcare records.
According to the company’s survey, approximately 64% of parents find it challenging to remember their child’s medical history during medical appointments, potentially leading to incomplete assessments, misdiagnoses, and suboptimal healthcare outcomes. In addition, 50% of surveyed parents admitted to misplacing their child’s baby books multiple times.
The MILA app is designed to streamline children’s health management, empowering mothers to take proactive roles in their family’s healthcare. It offers a comprehensive platform for managing children’s medical records and appointments while facilitating seamless data sharing with healthcare providers and family members. MILA envisions creating an ecosystem of specialized services that promote family health and well-being.
“The MILA App provides mothers with convenient access to their family’s medical and healthcare data in one secure digital space. It’s more than a digital tool; it’s a way for mothers to stay organized and proactive about their family’s health,” according to Engr. Faustino “Bam” Salvador Jr., Chief Executive Officer of MILA, emphasizing the app’s significance for Filipino households.
With its user-friendly interface and innovative features, MILA simplifies healthcare management, enabling mothers to oversee their family’s well-being. Key features include a family health plan, digital baby book, digital immunization records, medication and appointment reminders, and personalized health notes. The platform allows parents to manage all their child’s health data in one unified system, aiming to make life easier, one medical record at a time.
Supported by Pulse 63, the growth-focused accelerator and healthcare venture arm of Kaya Founders, MILA aims to provide a secure and convenient health records storage tool. Users can securely store health-related records, access complete immunization records, schedule appointments, and set medication reminders through the app’s in-app calendar and alarm feature. MILA also facilitates easy and secure sharing of children’s health data with schools, doctors, or family members, streamlining health data management to prioritize children’s well-being.
