THE CHALLENGE

Unimed Grande Florianópolis had the need to develop a digital platform focused on empowering the beneficiaries and delivering a complete digital experience. The previous cooperative app no longer met their needs, and that was the moment we thought about how to combine technology and innovation in the healthcare field.

Manual processes and physical forms;
Wait time for assistance or response from the operator;
High volume of in-person appointments;
Many customer inquiries about rights and obligations in supplementary healthcare;
Market pressure and the entry of health tech companies;
Previous app with limited services and low ratings.

THE UGF CLIENT APP

Through the collective effort of the IT, Innovation, and Customer Care teams at Unimed Grande Florianópolis, we have developed the UGF Client app, a digital communication platform aimed at making the lives of the operator's beneficiaries easier. With it, you can access various services wherever you are.
