Aster DM Healthcare, one of the largest healthcare providers in the Middle East and India, has just unveiled a version of their myAster app for the UAE market. The service aims to connect patients to general practitioners in as little as 30 minutes after making an appointment, using video conferencing to cut down on wait times.

The myAster app also provides access to hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and diagnostic centers. Users will be able to make appointments and view results 24/7, while the healthcare sector will benefit from a robust platform that joins reporting, medical histories, and other data under a single system.

So far, the app can connect 430 doctors, five hospitals, 48 clinics, and over 20 specialist medical services. As well as video consultations, myAster also features a secure payment gateway, along with access to an online pharmacy complete with a 90-minute home delivery service.

The free healthcare app offers many unique features aimed at helping patients manage their health data using a smartphone, and can even be used to help with insurance approvals.

“COVID 19 actually helped us to understand what really works as far as digital health is concerned [and the] UAE has been at the forefront of managing the pandemic, so we thought about how we could move healthcare to the next level, and the way to do that is by going digital,” says Alisha Moopen, Deputy Managing Director, Aster DM Healthcare.

The Aster DM Digital Health team developed their medical portal over a two-year period, with a strong focus on enhancing patient experience. The company’s success now means that its app has the potential to improve healthcare and wellness solutions for residents across the United Arab Emirates and beyond.
