Head

While Helpsy is focused on getting people to live their best quality of life, we believe that this should be enabled by using evidence-based modalities. Clinical evidence plays an important role in shaping our product starting from incorporating ranking of therapies in our search algorithm to assembling recommendations in our databases. In order to help expand the pipeline of research in integrative medicine, we are enabling practitioners to conduct their own research studies using our platform.

Heart

At the heart of our business is the goal to help people reach their peak performance or live their best quality of life. To achieve this goal, we believe that when people need treatment for a condition, it is often a multifaceted need. So we provide people with access to a licensed providers from different healing modalities to help them get the care they need to heal body and mind and achieve peak performance.

Habit

The habit we employ to bring the head and heart together is that of orchestration. We want to facilitate the emergence of a new healthcare ecosystem by connecting experts, patients and centers using our platform.
