Background: Work-related accidents and illnesses emphasise the importance of preventive measures in the workplace. While corporate health apps and workplace health promotion apps have potential benefits, their effectiveness requires further evaluation.
Objective: This study's primary objective focuses on enhancing employee productivity and capturing the indirect benefits associated with the use of mobile medical check-ups (MCUs), which have demonstrated superior efficacy compared to conventional approaches within office settings, particularly in Indonesia.
Method: This study conducted a review, drawing data from reputable platforms such as PubMed, NEJM, government websites, and scholarly articles to perform pharmacoeconomic calculations.
Result: The total cost of a conventional medical check-up (MCU) was determined to be USD 50.63, while the total cost of a mobile MCU was USD 31.54. The indirect benefit derived from a conventional MCU was USD 42.22, while the indirect benefit associated with a mobile MCU was Rp. USD 143.55. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) and quality-adjusted life year (QALY) values (∆ QALY = 0.6514) indicated the dominance of mobile MCUs.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that mobile MCUs offer a more economical and effective approach to workplace health management in Indonesia, contributing to improved employee productivity and greater indirect economic benefits.
