Welcome to
The Patient Empowerment Foundation
AN INTERNATIONAL CATALYST FOR PATIENTS RECEIVING THE CARE THEY NEED AND DESERVE.
Who We Are
Driven by patients, with headquarters in Geneva, our virtual team of patients, doctors and advisors is devoted to you achieving the best outcome, wherever you may be. Meet us!
What We Do
To help the widest possible audiences, we harness the power of the Internet and mobile technologies to educate and empower patients and family members wherever they may be, in their own language and in a style that’s easy to understand.
Our Partners
We work in association with organisations that share our same goal, which is to accelerate patient empowerment through digital technologies. Our international partners vary from a wide range of organisations: research groups, patient networks, and social media platforms for patient communities.
Knowledge is power ...
Access to online information and patient empowerment are transforming healthcare. 6 out of 10 European go online when looking for health information (European Commission survey, 2014). 90% of those looking online said that the Internet helped them to improve their knowledge about health-related topics. Communication and access to good information are key to achieving the best care. At Patient Empowerment Foundation we believe patients have the right to be informed and to be part of the decision-making process in their disease journey.
