Discovery Health ID campaign
Discovery Health has always been at the forefront of medical scheme technology and constantly strives to streamline the systems and process both for its members and the medical practitioners.
In 2012 Discovery Health launched another world first, HealthID. HealthID provides doctors with a more complete view of their patient’s health history and test results. This improves patient care and reduces the likelihood of serious medical errors and duplicate or unnecessary pathology tests. The app was created to support both IOS and Android formats.
To launch the product Discovery had a nationwide launch specifically to doctors that took place in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban.

brief
brief
The agency was tasked with creating a campaign that, at its core educated doctors about the app and its functionality, but also created awareness amongst Discovery members on how the app was able to be of benefit to them.
the
solution
This was concurrent to a truly integrated campaign that created hype amongst doctors and provided them with the relevant information to provide to their patients.
The campaign theme was a very single minded one, ‘Touch’. This was a play on a doctors touch that aids the healing process as well as the nature of the touch device that the app ran off.
