Bowtie Offers Health Check-ups Discount to Encourage Preventive Care

When it comes to health, prevention is better than cure

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 10 February 2023 – Living a modern busy lifestyle, the majority of Hong Kongers lack healthy dietary and exercise habits that may pose severe health risks. Not to mention most chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart diseases rarely show symptoms at the early stages, which can be a crucial factor in patient delay. As prevention is better than cure, Bowtie’s selected VHIS customers can enjoy annual health check-ups which covers blood pressure, liver and kidney function tests, uric acid tests, blood tests and more.

70% is Lack of Routine Health Screening Habits

According to the 2020-22 Population Health Survey Report recently published by The Department of Health, among persons aged 15 or above, only 30% have received regular body check-ups, more females (31.1%) than males (28.8%) reported having done so.

Across all age groups, persons aged 85 or above had the most frequent regular health screenings, still, only 44.4% in that age group had routine medical checkup.

Body Check Helps Identify Illness at Early Stage

Although most Hong Kongers do not attend health assessments on a regular basis, it plays an important role in maintaining good health. Most chronic diseases such as cancers, heart diseases and diabetes can be diagnosed via health assessments, which is not only conducive to avoid worsening of health problems, but also helpful to enhance recovery.

Nonetheless, given that there has been an increased chronic disease prevalence among the younger generation, young people should ever overlook the importance of regular medical check-ups. Take diabetes as an example, the average age at diagnosis of diabetes has been pushed up from 50 to 30, whereas that of complications has been moved from 60 to 40. Since people can suffer from prediabetes for years without any symptoms, regular health screening can help to identify the illness at an early stage, allowing patients to have the best chance for successful treatment as early as possible.

Bowtie Offers Medical Checkup Discount for a Win-win

As the client’s trusted health partner, Bowtie not only offers the “just-fit” medical protection through insurance, but also encourage early health management by providing selected VHIS customers with a “Medical + Healthcare Wellness Package”’, an annual health examination (Worth HK$2,720) is included.

Established in July 2021, Bowtie & JP Health has been providing medical checkups that covers the below items to over 1,300 customers:

  • Eye Examinations
  • Cardiac Examinations
  • Blood Analysis
  • Renal Function
  • Liver Function
  • Diabetes Screening
  • Lipid Profile
  • Urine Routine Examination
  • Stool Test

With regular medical assessment, Bowtie believes customers can keep closer track of their own health, hence, lowering the risks of serious problems. Most importantly, healthier customers means a relatively low-risk pool as well as lower claim rate, Bowtie can thus have greater room for bringing down the premiums, creating a “win-win” situation.

Take charge with G-Menu from AGON by AOC – One application to manage all AGON by AOC monitors and peripherals

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 10 February 2023 – AGON by AOC – one of the world’s leading gaming monitor1 and IT accessories brands – presents the new G-Menu software suite for the management of all AGON by AOC-branded peripherals – ranging from monitors to keyboards, mice, headsets and mouse pads.

Caption

AGON by AOC’s gaming portfolio, renowned for its award-winning monitors, has been broadened over the last years with a variety of gaming mice, mechanical gaming keyboards, mouse pads as well as gaming headsets. The AOC gaming accessories have been praised for their durability, quality, affordability, high-level specifications as well as RGB synchronisation between devices for that little bit of extra flair.

This type of comprehensive gaming ecosystem with monitors and numerous accessories necessitated a software with which to control and customise all settings at once. For keyboards and mice, this means the customisation of the keys and buttons, adjusting the sensitivity such as repeat rate, polling rate or DPI level, for headset that means managing the audio settings including the surround sound. Light FX settings and the synchronisation of the lights for monitor, keyboard, mouse, mouse pad, and headset can also be managed thanks to G-Menu.

Now, the G-Menu software enables the same set-up options as the monitor’s on-screen display settings with a single click. Monitors that come with AOC’s Light FX can be customised with RGB illumination, and the newest update of G-Menu allows users to preview the RGB effects first in the software before deploying it onto the devices (monitor, keyboard etc). Furthermore, G-Menu allows colour and theme synchronisation (Light FX Sync) between products, both monitor and accessories such as gaming mice, mouse pads or keyboards will be having the same RGB lighting pattern and same colours.

Today, gamers look up to their heroes and want to walk in their footsteps. Peripherals thus are purchased based on the inspirations provided by their favourite streamer or esports athlete. New user profiles for different genres/games can be created, saved and even shared with G-Menu. Inside the “Discover” section of the G-Menu application, users can see the descriptions as well as compatible products for a user profile, which they can then choose to copy to their own devices. Matching the DPI settings of a gaming mouse or replicating the colour and responsiveness settings of a monitor from one of the idols of the gaming community… with G-Menu all it takes is a single click.

The new G-Menu allows a great range of customisation:

– For mice and keyboards, there is large degree of freedom to assign various functions to the buttons and keys. This enables users to assign tasks such as opening a multimedia player and play/pausing the track, or tasks related to internet browsers such as refreshing a page, opening the home page, searching and more. Also, basic OS functions such as cut/copy/paste or open/save documents can be assigned to keys or buttons as well. This kind of high customisation can really be useful, whether in games or in any day-to-day task.

– Macro management is equally crucial in certain games, where the action happens so fast that the user needs to hit multiple keys/buttons simultaneously. This is where the macros come into play. Even if the game/application doesn’t support it, thanks to G-Menu users can create and manage macros – meaning that they are only enabled in a particular game, for example.

The new G-Menu software suite is available for download here:
