- Written by: iPMI Global
Health and wellbeing provider DocHQ announces an arrangement with Aon, a leading global professional services firm, to deliver AI-driven physiotherapy solutions through DocHQ Physio, revolutionising MSK care for employees.
Approximately 1.71 billion people have musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions worldwide. In 2022, more than $135 million was spent on MSK conditions globally, with the North American and European regions having the highest costs. MSK conditions lead to the most lost workdays compared to any other major health condition; employees with musculoskeletal conditions lose an average of 10 days of work per year. These conditions lead to substantial absenteeism and decreased productivity, underscoring the need for effective interventions.
DocHQ Physio aims to help businesses reduce MSK-related insurance claims and premiums, decrease absenteeism, and enhance workforce productivity through advanced, accessible healthcare offerings.
As a leader in employee wellbeing, DocHQ combines AI-driven technology with expert physiotherapy care to address the growing challenge of musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders in the workplace. DocHQ Physio offers all employees—whether remote, office-based, or hybrid—equal access to high-quality physiotherapy services, enabling businesses to attract and retain top talent with comprehensive healthcare benefits.
DocHQ Physio supports employees when they are in discomfort or pain with fast access to its team of Chartered Physiotherapists. The 100% remote service offers virtual physio consultations and AI-guided treatment plans delivered online, removing time and cost barriers posed by traditional physio. Advanced movement-tracking technology offers real-time corrective feedback to the user and enables physios to monitor progress and update treatment plans remotely – for faster recovery and return to work.
Through DocHQ Physio, organisations can reduce absenteeism and presenteeism, while also tracking and identifying workforce health trends. This data empowers businesses to optimise their wellbeing strategies, ensuring a healthier and more productive workforce. Additionally, employers can achieve significant cost savings by lowering MSK-related insurance premiums and claims costs.
Linda Beavis, Global Mobility Centre of Excellence Leader, Global Benefits, at Aon, said, “Aon is continually reviewing potential solutions for our clients which enhancee their services and can reduce costs. We believe the ability to offer a global MSK facility that is accessible to all employees, not only enhances the employee experience but can also play a role in managing healthcare costs”
Amit Arora, COO of DocHQ, says, “This collaboration between DocHQ and Aon highlights their shared commitment to enhancing employee wellbeing, reducing business costs, and fostering a healthier, more resilient workforce.”
