Medicard Upgrades Medgo with Face Scan Screening and Ease Wellbeing Support

MediCard is bringing health insights, wellbeing support, and everyday membership services together through its upgraded MedGo app.

The platform includes Face Scan, an AI-powered screening feature available to select accounts, alongside EASE, MediCard’s mental health and wellbeing program. Members can also manage consultations, appointments, authorization requests, and reimbursements through the app.

Face Scan provides preliminary health insights

MediCard describes Face Scan as a preventive wellness tool that uses a smartphone camera to generate health indicators. The company has also showcased it alongside MedGo’s consultation and membership services.

According to the supplied announcement, the feature analyzes facial signals associated with blood flow to estimate selected health indicators and flag potential concerns. Proper lighting helps support the scanning process.

Its outputs should be understood as preliminary screening information, not a diagnosis or a reliable prediction of future illness. A reassuring result does not establish that someone is free of cardiovascular disease or a mental health condition.

The feature includes a link to teleconsultation, allowing users to discuss questions with a healthcare professional. Face Scan is currently limited to select accounts.

EASE connects members with professional support

EASE provides access to mental health professionals, dietitians, and fitness coaches, alongside wellbeing resources.

The program gives members another route to seek guidance, whether they want to discuss a concern or explore support for healthier routines.

Access to professional support is distinct from the wellness indicators generated by Face Scan. An automated result cannot replace an individual assessment by a qualified practitioner.

Membership services in one place

MedGo also brings together practical tasks that members commonly need before and after receiving care.

Users can access their Digital ID, review benefits and coverage, request a Letter of Authorization (LOA), book appointments, and search for accredited doctors, clinics, and hospitals. Online consultation services are also available.

For reimbursements, members can submit claims, upload supporting documents, and track progress through the app. MediCard says automated case creation and improved tracking are intended to simplify the process.

Faster responses for eligible automated requests

MediCard says applicable automated LOA submissions receive a response in under three seconds.

That company-reported figure applies only to requests eligible for automation. It should not be interpreted as a guaranteed approval time for every LOA application.

The company also says the redesign addresses common concerns involving login difficulties, downtime, and slow performance. These are stated improvement goals rather than independently measured performance results.

A digital connection to existing care

MedGo works alongside MediCard’s physical clinics and accredited provider network, helping members access services they already use.

MediCard says a dedicated team will continue developing the platform through updates informed by member feedback and integrations with third-party partners.

The upgrade gives members more ways to manage healthcare tasks digitally while keeping consultations and professional assessment central to care.
