We share new and evolving technology stories and work directly with people to create new solutions that enable individuals to support healthy living within their communities, including family, friends, office, school and society. We have already begun to set in motion collaborations with heading creative minds to design technology not as treatment, but as a choice for healthier lifestyles. Join us as we power the change.
