“The only security
that a person can have in this world
is a reservoir of knowledge, experience and skills.”

helpThee—living independently
Living independently means trusting yourself.
helpThee is one of Innovating Health's three business areas; the others are Artificial Intelligence and Rare Diseases. helpThee supports people facing physical, medical and age-related challenges by providing information, guidance and courses that improve their ability to live independently.
helpThee—your love and care
Dependence on others to manage daily life affects self-esteem and dignity. HelpThee provides the personal, tailored support that maintains control over one's life or regains it when it has been compromised. helpThee works in line with the wider goals of healthcare, which seek to make recipients of help active participants in their care in a holistic approach.
The helpThee vision is rooted in the values of love, care and empowerment. Empowerment is the promise to provide the necessary tools and knowledge that empower participants in a helpThee program to improve their situation to the point where they can live autonomously in the comfort of their own home. Individualized care at home and gaining independence have positive effects on health and well-being—outcomes that are not achieved in the hospital. In the helpThee environment, families, caregivers and professionals can also access the content to create a shared understanding of situations, possibilities and achievable outcomes.
A multi-layered approach
The strength of helpThee's programs is the comprehensive approach that can respond to a variety of needs. Whether someone is recovering from an illness, coping with a disability, or facing the natural aging process, helpThee provides resources that provide adequate help in most situations.
Information
Anyone who visits helpThee can become a member of the community; customers are automatically members. Membership opens up access to the immense reservoir of health-related resources. These include up-to-date medical advice, expert guidance on dealing with acute and chronic illnesses, physical and mental disabilities and uncertainties in coping with everyday life. The documents are written in an understandable and targeted manner so that you and your family can make informed decisions.
Instructions
Many people face challenges with everyday activities such as dressing, bathing, cooking or using medical equipment. In HelpThee provides step-by-step instructions tailored to these situations, making them easier and safer to perform. The instructions promote physical independence and relieve the emotional stress that comes with limitations.
Courses
The educational offering goes beyond basic information and instruction. Courses are available that cover areas such as rehabilitation exercises, self-care techniques, assistive technology training, and care skills. These courses are tailored to individuals with health conditions and caregivers, and they help build a comprehensive support network. By learning new skills, participants improve health and well-being, and build trust, self-compassion, and autonomy.
The impact on individuals and communities
HelpThee's services have a profound impact on patients, families, caregivers and the wider community. The ability to live more independently reduces caregiver burden and promotes an environment of shared responsibility. Caregivers, whether family members or professional health workers, are vulnerable to burnout due to the intensity of care. By equipping all involved with relevant skills, helpThee contributes to a more balanced care dynamic.
For the Future of Healthcare
helpThee demonstrates the potential of bringing together technology, education and healthcare to address the challenges faced by vulnerable individuals and populations. Growing populations and increasing life expectancies are putting strains on all systems in a society; healthcare is no exception and is challenged to remain functional with innovative solutions. Initiatives like helpThee are paving the way for more patient-centered care that emphasizes empowerment and resilience. Looking to the future, the helpThee model offers enormous solution potential. Advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning, virtual reality and wearable devices will expand solutions and drive change. Some individuals and organizations will be left behind by incompetence, others will emerge as winners of the shift by being able to adapt.
Conclusion
helpThee is a crucial step towards independence and dignity for sick, disabled and elderly people. Through information, guidance and courses, individuals are equipped with resources that empower them to live an autonomous and fulfilling life.
