"The other thing is, because we're Allianz Partners, while it's mainly travel that we do in New Zealand, Allianz Partners globally is much more of an assistance company, so there's a whole lot of things that [the group does]." He continued: "What we did was we talked to our partners about some of the opportunities that we had and things that we could do with them, and areas where we thought we could help them to increase their reach-out to their customers." Essentially, it was a case of'What other things can we do while travel is limited,' and Allianz Partners NZ found its way towards the wellness realm, with the insurance company set to launch its digital health service (DHS) on July 18. "One of the things that [DHS] does for us is it provides our customers and business partners with immediate direct access to [five] key things," said Blyth. "Of those key things, one is an AI-based (artificial intelligence) symptom checker; the second is medical advice where they can chat with doctors." Other components of the health assistant include a round-the-clock healthline, a mental wellbeing feature, and a health services directory.
