The evolution of chronic diseases is a predominant challenge seen in global public health. Chronic diseases such as Hypertension and Diabetes are responsible for 20% and 10% of worldwide deaths, respectively. Especially for such patients, it is challenging to search for & find a proper caregiver and other patients facing the same challenges, which might have already overcome the health condition.
Our vision is to provide a solution for appropriate health & treatment to every individual in this world and build a community of patients, caregivers, and researchers who transparently collaborate towards global health.
We envision the dawn of a new era in medicine & wellbeing: a world which goes beyond eHealth to Collaborative Health, because everyone’s experience matters and can contribute to a better way of living.
CoHealth connects patients, caregivers, and researchers globally. For patients, the main goal is to, find a proper caregiver and/or other experienced people who might help them as well. For doctors, the main goal is to, develop better and trustworthy communication with their patients and connect with other caregivers globally to make their diagnosis, treatment planning, and prognosis more evidence-based, accurate, and stable. For researchers, the main goal is to, improve the research methods, and patients’ data can contribute to improve the state of the diseases globally. We build an application that gives patients, caregivers, and researchers an amazing way of interaction and sharing patient-related data — given their own consent (!) — in an ethically sound, secure, and privacy-preserving manner.
We contribute to a global public health benefit for potentially each & every individual.\
