The healthcare industry in Thailand has long been following the traditional business model. People go to hospitals when they get sick. The doctors and nurses at the hospital treat the patients and get paid for the characteristics and the number of treatments they deliver to patients. People generally spend on healthcare only to receive a reactive treatment for specific purpose. However, Livelong Co., Ltd. differentiates itself by offering a more preventive action. This new business model is driven by the digital devices and ubiquitous access of internet that has untapped the opportunity to bring healthcare to people everywhere. Coupled with the need of people that has been changed, health and wellness trend has been extending into consumer life and experience more than ever.
Livelong Co., Ltd. estimates the initial investment and the operating costs for year one to be 2.4 million THB. This amount of money would be funded by the owner. Based on the financial section, the plan has a positive net present value and the payback period is the second year.
