Aztute and ConnectWell, ConnectWell a public-private partnership with the UC Berkeley School of Public Health have formed a partnership to integrate extensive health and wellness content from the UC Berkeley School of Public Health to address the urgent public health crisis.
Denver, Colorado, October 25, 2021 – At the annual American Public Health Association (APHA) Conference, Aztute Corporation, a leader in public health digital platforms, announced today that it has partnered with ConnectWell in order to bring digital health and wellness content to keep communities safe and healthy. Under this partnership, this content will be available to all of Aztute’s customers, including public health agencies, schools, and businesses. This broad content library is academically sourced and was developed for a wide consumer audience and includes articles and videos that educate people on disease prevention, disease management, wellness, behavior change, and the adoption of healthy lifestyle habits.
The COVID-19 pandemic has shaken the world and caused a seismic shift in how health issues are addressed. This has been especially the case for public health agencies and schools that are now taking on a greater burden – to diagnose, investigate, and monitor the health of their populations. “ConnectWell’s public-private partnership with the UC Berkeley School of Public Health, a global leader in public education, greatly enhances the value of our public health platform with rich evidence-based content available to our customers in many different languages.” Said Sammy Wahab, CEO of Aztute Corporation.
“Our public-private partnership with the UC Berkeley School of Public Health guarantees access to a vast library of health and wellness content that is continually reviewed and updated to include the latest standard of care guidelines and scientific findings on health, wellness, and disease management. The Aztute platform is a perfect vehicle to make this valuable content available to everyone when and where it’s needed.” Says Andrea Bloom, CEO of ConnectWell.
This partnership brings both data and science to help fight the pandemic but also keep the communities safe and healthy while preparing for future public health crises. The partnership dramatically helps the much-needed transformation to fight a public health crisis like COVID-19. Delivering science-based health information through the Aztute platform scales health literacy and will help save lives, keep people informed about what they can do to stay safe, and minimize the impact on the economy. Public health agencies, schools, businesses, and long-term care facilities are able to publish ConnectWell’s content through Aztute’s branded public health apps and kiosks. Key populations served by these agencies will have the ability to opt-in to receive relevant content based on their safety, health conditions, wellness interests, and mental health needs.
