OUR MISSION: Getting back to the essence for better health care with people first!

The Better Health Project mission is to empower patients and health care professionals with a compassionate, adaptive and personalized health ecosystem.  Make a difference for better health.  Where patients, doctors, nurses and other professionals lead the transformation to a new e-health environment.  Listening to people is at the core.

• Do you know how the majority of people in health crisis or dealing with chronic conditions, are caught in the drama of the medical process and system, feeling no control, becoming a victim of the condition, but still aren't able to cope with the stress, crossing the new limits and overwhelming emotions...
• What we do in our Active Patient Circles, using the same"Leader I Am" model for managers and business leaders, people with chronic conditions awaken their natural leader, and quickly uplift moods, improve key relationships and raise quality of life.

The opportunity is now very ripe with Health 2.0 and the rapid expansion in technology and applications now happening. It's time to:

• Get unstuck from the current industrial mode of working, where specialized professional authoritative care is encouraged and charged for, but self care is not part of the norm.
• Navigate the new, explosive wave of mobile health applicatons and technological reach to the individual's hands - there's now a real opportunity to upgrade health care for the information age and beyond.
• Progressively drive change in the old doctor-patient and hospital processes....
• Create a new model, where individual self care makes business sense. Alongside self care networks, professional facilitation and partnership.
• Get back to the essence of caring with listening.
