Mumbai, September 17, 2025 — SBI General Insurance, one of India’s leading general insurance companies, has launched a groundbreaking health tracking feature on its mobile app, representing a significant leap forward in digital wellness innovation. The new biometric technology enables users to monitor vital health metrics through simple face and finger scans, offering a contactless, tech-enabled approach to proactive health management.
Advanced Biometric Health Technology
Developed in collaboration with CarePlix, the innovative feature utilizes advanced remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) technology to extract comprehensive health data from video recordings captured through the device’s camera or fingerprint scanning. Users can instantly access critical health metrics including heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, BMI, body weight, stress levels, total body fat, and body water content—all without requiring physical sensors or invasive procedures.
The technology represents a paradigm shift in health monitoring accessibility, enabling users to track their wellness anytime, anywhere, through their existing mobile devices. This seamless integration eliminates traditional barriers to health monitoring while providing clinically relevant data for informed health decisions.
Strategic Vision for Digital Health
Shri Mohd. Arif Khan, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of SBI General Insurance, emphasized the strategic significance of this innovation: “This health scanning feature represents a major advancement in offering accessible health insights that extend far beyond traditional insurance coverage. It reflects our vision of creating a digitally empowered, health-conscious society where individuals can actively manage their well-being.”
Khan continued: “By integrating proactive wellness with technological convenience, we’re positioning ourselves at the forefront of the health insurance sector, where innovation seamlessly merges with everyday life. We remain committed to expanding our technological capabilities to provide customers with increasingly advanced and user-friendly solutions.”
Enhanced Customer Value Proposition
The health scanning feature is available to both existing and new customers through the SBI General Insurance mobile app. Beyond the core biometric functionality, the app provides additional value through partnerships with laboratory providers, offering customers 5% discounts on standard lab tests.
This comprehensive approach to health and wellness demonstrates SBI General Insurance’s commitment to fostering a digitally connected customer base while providing practical tools for maintaining optimal health. The instant accessibility and ease of use reflect the company’s dedication to customer-centric innovation.
