Aster DM Healthcare’s myAster app is now ranked as the top free medical app on the App Store and Play Store with downloads of more than 352,000 since its soft launch in July 2022.

Being one of the largest healthcare providers in GCC and India, Aster has officially unveiled the full-fledged version of the app by providing access to hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centres and pharmacies to empower patients with end-to-end care facilitation and provide seamless access to its healthcare ecosystem.

“Aster DM Healthcare is aligned with the UAE’s 2031 Vision for developing the health sector by providing the best-in-class services and continually updating them. The myAster platform was launched as part of Aster’s commitment to providing equitable, unbiased access to world-class medical care, while we strive to improve the healthcare system’s readiness to manage health risks,” Alisha Moopen, Deputy Managing Director of Aster DM Healthcare, said.

Moreover, she said the app is developed to align and cater to the constantly changing landscape of medical needs of patients in the UAE and across the world.

“As healthcare providers, we must be equipped to handle those changes with the latest technologies. The idea of offering accessible personalised healthcare through a single platform that brings together all of the patient journeys is in line with Aster’s vision of providing affordable quality healthcare to all,” she said.

Transparency at the core

Aster’s Digital Health team has innovated and developed the solution over a period of two years, providing booking appointments from among 430 doctors across five hospitals, 48 clinics and over 20 medical specialities and supported by a fully functional help centre.

Brandon Rowberry, CEO of Digital Health at Aster DM Healthcare, said that the app was created to serve the needs of the citizens across the GCC and is designed with transparency at its core.

“Now our users have access to more than 200 Aster hospital doctors for appointment booking. The user interface is easy to navigate, and they can view doctor schedules and slots to select a doctor for consultation.

“We are also launching our Instant GP feature enabling users to video consult with a General Practitioner in as early as 30 minutes. As we continue to innovate, we will be adding Homecare services to the myAster app soon,” he added.
