Wellthcare

Lissanthea put me on to this project.

Sounds highly aligned to my own ambitions, similarly requiring more focus…

Wellthcare is an exploration

It’s an attempt to find new ways to value and create health

Health care contributes only 20% to our health and yet it dominates the health discourse;
80% of our health comes from our genes, behaviours, social factors and the environment

Wellthcare is about the 80% 
It’s about finding new sources of health-related value
It’s about creating health

At Wellthcare we believe that much of this value resides in our networks and communities

We call this value Wellth
