By now there is no denying it: the healthcare system is sick. Everyone knows it has to change. As we come up against the limits of sustainability, the will to change is also increasing. While not every change is an improvement, we do believe that in this world, every improvement is gain. Exactly that is what drives Bettr Health.
Everyone knows it should
The number of people needing care continues to rise. Prevention and behavioural change in lifestyle are needed to reverse the increasing demand. Everyone is aware of this, which means that healthcare in the Netherlands is at a tipping point. A patient revolution is coming anyway, with or without the establishment. Fuelled by technology and digitalisation.
Everyone wants it
It is not only healthcare specialists, hands on the bed or neighbourhood helpers who are struggling with the increasing pressure of empowered patients, rising numbers of chronically ill people and a growing number of vacancies. This also affects insurers who see costs ever increasing. At the same time, there is the paradox of the new ageing. People are getting older and older, but at the same time everyone prefers to stay young – and for longer.
We do it
We believe that with prevention, the biggest gains can be made in the epidemic of chronic diseases. That is why we facilitate a totally different way of caring, where citizens are put at the centre and helped to take good care of themselves. With technology, we relieve the burden on primary care by giving citizens the right tools to cooperate flexibly and equally with healthcare and keep control of their own health.
In this way, we will prevent healthcare infections and actively work together for positive experiences, better health and lower healthcare costs.
Innovating by connecting
We admit straight away: almost everything has already been thought of. There are countless health apps, an improbable amount of data and countless new insights. We believe in integration as well as scalability. This creates an open, digital environment where citizens work on their health. With existing and new evidence-based programmes, connected devices and a hybrid form of digital and human coaching. In this way, chronic patients and people with a high risk profile in particular can be better and more efficiently monitored, motivated and coached to improve their health in the broadest sense of the word.
The sooner, the bettr.
The movement of improvement
Not every change is an improvement, but every improvement in the lives of the chronically ill has immediate positive impact. We believe that if we work on prevention in time, healthcare costs can be reduced. Then every step counts. Then every improvement is a win for everything and everyone.
We want to turn all these improvements into a movement. Driven by collaborations and partnerships with leading initiatives. By pooling knowledge experience, we work to create an ecosystem with committed network partners. Do you share your drive to change and improve healthcare? Let us know and then join us.
