TechPointBuild 2018: What Happened When Health Met Tech

At Healthfacts.ng, nothing matters most to us than the health of everyone around us. 

We believe physical well being is an important part of a healthy lifestyle, but considering the fact that more than half Nigerian men, and 60 percent Nigerian women (including techies), never engage in any vigorous physical activity lasting more than 10 minutes per week, while at the same time sitting for hours on end, it’s clear that most people need to begin by simply getting more non-exercise movement into their daily routine.

Living in a pretty busy society as ours has however hindered us from paying the much-needed attention we need to as regards our health and physical well being.

In respect to this, Healthfacts.ng saw the need to bring to a large capacity of participants at the TechpointBuild the important benefits of having a healthy lifestyle. 

Techpoint.ng had the maiden edition of Techpoint Build — an annual convergence of startups, innovators, makers, technical entrepreneurs and all industry stakeholders across Nigeria.

The much anticipated TechpointBuild had its way on Saturday, 27th of January 2018 at the Landmark Event Center. The event aimed primarily at facilitating more local investments in home-grown startups and the local business ecosystem.

Several opportunities were up for grabs for startups at the event. Various startups in categories of retail, agriculture, finance and payments, education and recruitment, health, entertainment, and hardware/software got to pitch to a distinguished panel of judges in which the winner got awarded with a million naira.

Health met tech at the event as Healthfacts.ng exhibited health products and services.

Healthfacts.ng’s MyPerfectWeight App was launched at the event.

MyPerfectWeight is a mobile weight loss/gain application (an invaluable tool for reaching your weight loss/gain goals). The application provides its users with a local meal (diet) and exercise suggestions to enable them attain their desired weight without stress.

The Healthfacts Ask Portal was also introduced to participants at the event. The ask portal is a platform where users get to ask their health-related questions and get answers from health professionals.

Various fitness products were also exhibited at the event. Beliefs from the past that ”most Nigerians aren’t interested about their health” proved wrong as we had a massive turn up from participants at our booth.

The notion that Nigerians (especially techies) never paid much attention to their health was cleared as every participant had a thing or two to share as they visited our booth. It was confirmed that most techies loved to get the best for their health but couldn’t do so due to the nature of their job. However, certain measures have been promised to these individuals as Healthfacts.ng plans to bring something big to the table soon.

  2. I have noticed that of all types of insurance, medical insurance is the most questionable because of the turmoil between the insurance coverage company’s necessity to remain adrift and the client’s need to have insurance coverage. Insurance companies’ commission rates on health and fitness plans are incredibly low, thus some companies struggle to profit. Thanks for the suggestions you discuss through this web site.

Your article (parts of it) is actually rather powerful and this is most likely the reason why I am making an effort to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that.

  6. One thing I’d really like to say is before buying more computer memory, look at the machine into which it could well be installed. If the machine is running Windows XP, for instance, the memory threshold is 3.25GB. Putting in in excess of this would simply constitute any waste. Make certain that one’s motherboard can handle the particular upgrade amount, as well. Interesting blog post.

  7. I would love to add if you do not surely have an insurance policy or perhaps you do not form part of any group insurance, chances are you’ll well make use of seeking the help of a health insurance professional.

  10. Thanks for helping me to attain new thoughts about personal computers. I also have belief that one of the best ways to keep your notebook in leading condition is with a hard plastic-type material case, and also shell, that fits over the top of the computer. A lot of these protective gear are generally model unique since they are made to fit perfectly within the natural covering. You can buy these directly from the vendor, or through third party places if they are for your mobile computer, however only a few laptop could have a covering on the market. All over again, thanks for your points.

  18. I have noticed that over the course of creating a relationship with real estate owners, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in most real estate transaction, a commission is paid. Eventually, FSBO sellers never “save” the commission payment. Rather, they struggle to win the commission simply by doing a good agent’s task. In completing this task, they commit their money in addition to time to complete, as best they are able to, the jobs of an adviser. Those duties include getting known the home by marketing, offering the home to buyers, creating a sense of buyer urgency in order to make prompt an offer, arranging home inspections, managing qualification investigations with the financial institution, supervising repairs, and facilitating the closing of the deal.

One more thing I would like to mention is that instead of trying to fit all your online degree classes on days that you finish off work (since the majority of people are worn out when they come home), try to get most of your instructional classes on the saturdays and sundays and only a couple courses for weekdays, even if it means taking some time away from your saturday and sunday.

  27. Thanks for your ideas. One thing we have noticed is the fact banks along with financial institutions understand the spending habits of consumers and understand that many people max out and about their real credit cards around the holidays. They correctly take advantage of this fact and begin flooding your inbox and snail-mail box with hundreds of 0 APR card offers just after the holiday season finishes.
