MILA App Launched on Mother’s Day to Digitize Healthcare Records Management for Children

MANILA, Philippines - May 2024 — In conjunction with International Mother's Day, Filipino startup MILA Business Solutions Corp. has introduced MILA, a patient-centric health data storage application poised to revolutionize the way Filipino families manage their healthcare records.

The app’s conception stemmed from the company survey showing that about 64% of parents struggle to recall their child’s medical history during medical appointments, potentially leading to incomplete assessments, misdiagnoses, and suboptimal healthcare outcomes. Additionally, 50% of the surveyed parents have misplaced their baby books multiple times.

The MILA app aims to streamline children's health management and enable mothers to play proactive roles in their family healthcare. The app offers a comprehensive platform for managing children’s medical records and appointments and sharing data seamlessly with healthcare providers and family members. MILA’s vision is to create an ecosystem of specialized services that promote family health and well-being.

With its user-friendly interface and innovative features, MILA simplifies healthcare management, empowering mothers to oversee their family’s well-being. Key features include a family health plan, digital baby book, digital immunization records, medication and appointment reminders, and personalized health notes. The platform allows parents to manage all their child’s health data in a unified system, making life easier, one medical record at a time.

Engr. Faustino "Bam" Salvador Jr., Chief Executive Officer of MILA, emphasized the app’s significance for Filipino households, stating, "The MILA App provides mothers with convenient access to their family's medical and healthcare data in one secure digital space. It’s more than a digital tool; it's a way for mothers to stay organized and proactive about their family’s health."

Launching on Mother’s Day underscores the company's dedication to supporting mothers, who are considered the healthcare manager of the family. “With MILA, we're providing mothers a powerful tool to effortlessly manage their children’s health, ensuring peace of mind, confidence, and ease," said Chief Marketing Officer Ma. Jezzika Kierulf. “As a mother myself, I see the MILA app as a symbol of empowerment, connectivity, and care for families nationwide,” Kierulf added.

"Being a mother myself, I understand the challenges parents face in managing their children's health," stated Chief Marketing Officer Ma. Jezzika Kierulf. “With MILA, we’re providing fellow moms a tool to simplify this process, ensuring not only peace of mind but also fostering confidence and ease. The app stands as a testament to empowerment, connectivity, and our commitment to delivering compassionate care to families nationwide.

The health data management platform is supported by Pulse 63, the growth-focused accelerator and healthcare venture arm of Kaya Founders, ensuring a strong foundation for its ongoing development in providing a safe and convenient health records storage tool. Users can securely store health-related records, access complete immunization records, schedule appointments, and set medication reminders seamlessly through the app's in-app calendar and alarm feature. MILA also allows for easy and secure sharing of children’s health data with schools, doctors, or family members, streamlining health data management to prioritize children's well-being.

Mothers Day 2023: Priorities shift for moms on special day, splurge on care and healthy products over Mother’s Day feast - Packworks study

26 May 2023 - Filipino moms opted to buy care and healthy alternative products for themselves or their loved ones on Mother's Day this year over throwing a celebration, according to a study.

Data analytics platform Packworks in collaboration with socio-cultural research firm Fourth Wall looked at how Filipinos observed the occasion in 2021 and 2023 with their purchases in over 200,000 sari-sari stores in the Philippines through its business intelligence tool Sari IQ, where they identified a shift in consumption patterns.

Packworks' data shows that in 2021, comfort food and beverages like ice cream saw the highest one-day rise in demand at 212 percent. Other items like powdered soup mix and pasta also enjoyed people's mood for festivity, seeing a 113 percent and 82 percent increase, respectively. Alcoholic drink whisky was another standout choice two years ago, recording a 77 percent demand growth, while milk alternatives like soy milk and flavored milk drinks looked to be the preference for other members of the family at 63 percent.

However, the analysis discovered that on the same event, two years later, care and healthy alternative products became the in-demand items in sari-sari stores, with the demand for cultured drinks increasing more than twice that of the previous day at 250 percent. Hygiene products like astringent and baby body wash were also the highest-sold items at 210 percent and 177 percent, respectively. Meanwhile, home protection product pesticides almost doubled their demand at 97 percent.

"The Sari IQ data highlights a significant shift in consumer preferences during Mother's Day, moving from indulgent comfort food to a focus on care products. The study gives us a picture from the grassroots level that there is a shift that signifies a remarkable transition towards prioritizing the well-being and thoughtful choices for oneself and loved ones during Mother's Day," Packworks Advanced Analytics and Insights Manager Arch Tesorero said.

According to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) data, the food inflation rate was lower in 2021 than in 2023. The inflation rate from April to May 2021 was around 3.6 percent, but it doubled to 8 percent in April this year. The study implied the higher inflation of food prices could have affected the spending choices of Filipinos on this year's Mother's Day.

"The enormity of the inflationary difference could have adversely affected the demand for comfort food, even on occasions like Mother's Day, as it discouraged people from purchasing them," Fourth Wall’s Research Director John Brylle Bae said.

Aside from the economic factor, Bae echoed that the nature of the selflessness of mothers could have played a factor in how they celebrated this year.

"Our socio-cultural context, predominantly family-centric, induces mothers to prioritize the interest of those under their care first before theirs under challenging circumstances such as higher inflation. Therefore, it is unsurprising that they would purchase care or home products for their loved ones rather than buy comfort food to celebrate their day. After all, caring for them is the essence of motherhood." 

Packworks explained the data from 2022 were excluded from the analysis due to potential consumption outliers owing to the liquor ban implemented on the eve of the May 9 general elections, which coincided with Mother's Day.

The Sari IQ tool gives retailers data analytics on consumer behavior and spending habits of people in a locality who purchase their needs in sari-sari stores. Data is generated from Packworks' nationwide network of sari-sari stores, which contains insightful information on consumer spending and can be customized to create an analysis for sari-sari store categories.

Andok’s champions lasting memories this Mother’s Day with #HourMama campaign

MAKATI, Philippines - When was the last time we took some time off to create a lasting memory with our mother? This question and our tendency to be overly connected to technology led to popular Litson Manok chain Andok’s to take a back-to-basics observance of Mother’s Day. This year, Andok’s seeks to inspire families to disconnect from their mobile devices and create lasting memories with their mothers on their special day. Dubbed as #HourMama, Andok’s campaign seeks to encourage people to dedicate at least an hour for some uninterrupted bonding time with their mother. “Over the years, we have seen technology successfully bridge various gaps in human experience. However, we tend to be so excited with the advancements and the connections we can make from afar that we forget to give the gift of being present to our loved ones who are right beside us,” shared Maverick Javier, Executive Vice President of Andok’s Litson Corporation.

“This inspired us to encourage everyone to take an hour of their time to take a step back, look around, and create new core memories with the people around them. And we thought it is best to kick-off this campaign by sharing new memories with our mothers on their special day.”

The campaign kicks off at Andok’s branch in Makati Avenue where customers and guests go offline from 12 noon to an hour and connect with the mothers in the restaurant. The branch’s WiFi will go WaFi (Walang WiFi) as the restaurant’s wireless Internet connection shuts down during this hour. Fueling these personal and live interactions among families is the signature taste of Andok’s offerings, allowing the families to punctuate their connections with Andok’s iconic dishes. “Andok’s has always been about doing things with heart and appreciation. With #HourMama, we aim to not just have a heart-to-heart connection with our valued customers but to build meaningful relationships and memories within families. We are hoping this activity will pave the way to more observances of #HourMama as our fellow Filipinos spend more quality and uninterrupted time with their moms – even beyond Mother’s Day. Of course, this is best done with the offerings of Andok’s that we’ve all come to know and love,” adds Javier. Everyone is also encouraged to join the campaign on Mother’s Day by taking a photo with their mothers after a dedicated offline hour and posting it using in social media using the hashtag #HourMama.
