Hong Kong Men Prioritise Tech Over Health, New Study Reveals
AXA Global Healthcare study highlights worrying gaps in how men prioritise their mental and physical health
The research, commissioned by AXA Global Healthcare, highlights a concerning pattern in how men respond to health issues – particularly when it comes to early action and preventative care.
While almost all respondents (95%) said they would fix a broken laptop within a week, only a third (33%) would act as quickly if they noticed potential red flags in their own health – such as unexpected changes in weight, bowel habits or a suspicious mole.
Even symptoms like unusual fatigue (just 27%) and high levels of stress (24%) failed to prompt swift action in many cases, despite being possible early signs of more serious conditions.
In contrast, men in Hong Kong reported far greater urgency when dealing with money, work commitments or vehicles. An overwhelming majority said they’d act urgently if they lost their mobile phone (99%) or bank card (98%), while 96% said they’d prioritise responding to a text or call from their boss.
Personal health concerns also took a back seat to pet welfare, with 72% saying they’d respond quickly if their pet seemed unwell.
By comparison, only 64% said they’d see a health professional at all if something felt wrong. Instead, 45% said they’d consult the internet first, and around 10% would turn to AI or a health app for answers.
James Swatton, Senior Distribution Leader – Asia, at AXA Global Healthcare, said:
“It’s clear that for many men, computers, money and even work come before their own health. We urgently need to normalise a more proactive approach to wellbeing – not just wait for something to go wrong.”
The survey of 272 Hong Kong men highlights a critical opportunity to shift behaviour towards more proactive health engagement. While only a minority trust digital health for diagnosis, 31% said they’d feel more confident acting on a health concern if a digital tool flagged it – suggesting potential for wearable devices, trackers, or smart alerts to help bridge the gap.
To help make healthcare simpler and easier to access, AXA Global Healthcare recently launched a new all-in-one healthcare app that allows members to connect with qualified doctors anytime, by phone or video. Beyond consultations, the app supports users in managing their lifestyle by recording and tracking key physical and mental wellbeing metrics. These wellness trackers deliver insights that enable users to better understand their general health patterns and achieve personalised wellbeing goals.
Swatton added:
“Preventative health shouldn’t feel like an afterthought. By tracking physical and mental metrics, users can gain valuable insights that empower them to manage their lifestyle more proactively and work towards their wellbeing goals. Just as you’d regularly check your car or laptop to keep things running smoothly, building habits around your health can lead to better outcomes and greater peace of mind.”
“For men living or working abroad, this is even more important. Navigating foreign healthcare systems can be confusing and stressful, especially when you’re dealing with an unfamiliar language, different medical practices, or insurance rules. Having quick, easy access to trusted healthcare – wherever you are in the world – can make all the difference.”

Work-Integrated Learning Matters
Work-Integrated Learning bridges the gap between classroom theory and practical application. By immersing students in authentic work environments, internships cultivate essential skills beyond technical knowledge, including cognitive abilities such as problem-solving, affective traits like emotional intelligence, and psychomotor skills that enhance hands-on performance. Graduates who master these dimensions stand out as versatile professionals ready to contribute from day one, shaping leaders of the future who can drive innovation and growth.
The SIM60 WILL Award: Setting Graduates Apart
The SIM60 WILL Award is more than a recognition, it is a testament to resilience and excellence. Students who complete internships successfully and demonstrate perseverance in challenging situations are honoured for their commitment to growth. This award signals to employers that recipients are not only academically competent but also workplace-ready, equipped with the adaptability and grit that modern industries demand. It reinforces SIM’s mission to foster sustainable employment by preparing graduates for long-term career success.
Success Stories That Inspire
Recipients of the SIM60 WILL Award come from varied academic and personal backgrounds, yet many share a common pathway: leveraging work-integrated learning experiences to strengthen their career readiness. Several award recipients have used internships to apply classroom knowledge to real business environments, developing data dashboards, automating processes, supporting cybersecurity initiatives, and contributing to enterprise-level digital projects.
For some, these internships have served as stepping stones to contract or full-time roles in areas such as business analysis, project management and data operations. Others have progressed to subsequent placements in high growth sectors, where exposure to real world challenges has helped refine their technical skills and broaden their understanding of industry expectations.
These experiences reflect SIM’s commitment in shaping leaders of the future and fostering Sustainable Employment through Work-Integrated Learning, demonstrating how structured internships, supported by SIM’s guidance and reinforced through the WILL Award, equip learners with practical competencies and professional confidence to navigate evolving career landscapes.
Impact on Employability
Internship experience is a proven differentiator in hiring decisions. According to global employability studies, candidates with practical exposure are significantly more likely to secure roles and advance in their careers. The SIM60 WILL Award amplifies this advantage by validating the quality of a student’s internship performance. For employers, it serves as a trusted benchmark of talent. For graduates, it opens doors to opportunities that might otherwise remain out of reach, enhancing employability in a rapidly evolving economy.
Key Takeaways
The SIM60 WILL Award reflects SIM’s ongoing efforts to integrate work experience into education, supporting students in building practical skills that complement academic learning. By recognizing internship excellence, the award highlights the importance of resilience and adaptability in preparing graduates for the evolving job market.
