Media coverage highlights growing interest in helping New Zealanders find health and wellbeing services.
Since launching in June 2026, Ask Healthpoint has attracted attention across New Zealand’s health, technology and mainstream media, highlighting the role of digital innovation in making health and wellbeing services easier to find.
Developed by Healthpoint, Ask Healthpoint is an AI-powered service navigation tool that enables people to search for health and wellbeing services using everyday language.
Rather than needing to know the name of a service or exactly what to search for, people can simply ask a question in their own words. Ask Healthpoint draws on Healthpoint’s trusted national directory to help connect people with relevant services and information.
The media coverage reflects wider interest in how digital tools can support easier access to health information and help people navigate New Zealand’s health system.
