Metro Pacific Investments Corp.’s digital healthcare arm, mWell, has rolled out a new wellness platform aimed at human resources (HR) departments, marking a strategic push into the corporate sector. The platform offers HR teams a centralized dashboard to manage all facets of employee well-being—from physical activity to mental health—underscoring the growing commercial value of health-driven productivity.
At the core of the platform is a corporate scoreboard featuring AI-powered metrics such as the mWellness Score and Mind Health Score, designed to help companies monitor and enhance workforce engagement and prevent productivity losses. The system requires no additional IT infrastructure and is fully compliant with cybersecurity and data privacy standards.
“Companies are only as strong as the people behind them,” said Manuel V. Pangilinan, chairman and CEO of mWell and MPIC. “We’re doubling down on employee wellness to build a workforce that’s not just productive, but thriving.”
The solution is modular, scalable, and integrates with mWell’s own line of health wearables—including a ₱9,000 health ring and smartwatches starting at ₱2,000—as well as with Apple and Google health apps.
Chaye Cabal-Revilla, mWell president and CEO and MPIC CFO, emphasized the platform’s potential to reduce absenteeism, lower healthcare costs, and improve morale. “A healthy workforce delivers savings and drives long-term business performance,” she said.
With employee disengagement and healthcare costs on the rise—hospitalized workers can incur up to ₱15,000/month in medical expenses—mWell positions its platform as a cost-effective solution for businesses. U.S. CDC data cited by the company estimate productivity losses at USD1,685 per employee annually.
mWell’s new offering reinforces MPIC’s broader digital health ambitions while tapping into the rising demand for data-driven, preventive corporate wellness programs.
