Wait. What's with this whole gene thing?
Well the ads you see on TV are just one small slice. Maybe the least important medically slice. The whole shebang, genomic sequencing, is in rapid evolution. What would have cost a $ million a few years ago now just cost a few thousand. But... of course it's more complicated than that. 10 minutes and you are up to speed....

"Setting SMART goals has been proven to be more effective than making a drastic change cold turkey"

There's a downside to these types of lofty resolutions - they simply don't work. These goals are often drastic and leave little room for compromise. They are often all-or-nothing plans that set people up for failure, and once you fall off the wagon, so to speak, you can't help but feel discouraged.

Evans Health Lab has been developing patient facing communication projects for the last 5 years. We think we’ve revolutionized patient education and helped create a new field, digital public health, by doing something that is not too revolutionary: giving people the best information, where they are, in an engaging way.

Our team is passionate about our offerings and it’s been great giving people around the world a better user experience for health decisions and simple health information. With my move to Apple in California, the team I’ve assembled over the years will continue doing the patient education work I started.

There is an opportunity for you with me moving on. Historically, I have been the voice of our media, which was good for launching and quality control, but hard to scale. Now that I am moving on, we think there is a new opportunity to vary that voice and increase our community.

Whether you just want to beef up your clinic engagement (website, email newsletter, Facebook Fan Page, social movement, patient documentary, etc.) get across an important message (info graphic, social movement, animation, etc.), or build one of our famous whiteboards, you can now make our media lab... your media lab.

To make this happen we are launching the rebranded company, Reframe Health Lab. Reframe combines patient and care provider engagement with peer-to-peer communication and marketing strategy to change the way we talk and learn about health.
