People with pathology are often the first to know their needs. That is why we involve them in the design and development of physical or digital projects and solutions that can meet their needs, simplify the management of the disease or daily life.
Healthcare co-creation is an inclusive and “values-based” approach that focuses on bringing different actors together around issues of shared interest. It starts with the idea that everyone is an expert on one issue or another, but is first and foremost an expert on their own life.
As a generative method, co-creation allows for more latent knowledge to emerge: hopes, dreams, insights that do not yet have the right words, but are critical to arriving at the perfect solution.
Therefore, developing a health solution together with patients makes that solution more fitting and appropriate to their specific needs.
Co-creation offers numerous benefits for both people with pathology and companies.
The benefits for people with pathology
We have been actively and evidence-based listening to people with pathology for more than 10 years and are able to understand their needs.
Through the steps of listening to needs, co-designing and co-testing with patients, we build solutions that meet people’s real needs, improving their experience of care.
We have realized that making them active participants in our – and your – projects engages them in an unparalleled way. When people perceive that they have helped accomplish something, they feel proud, purposeful, and eager to get involved in managing their own health.
GeoUpper is a device co-created with people with pathology and professionals, which is a solution to a small but annoying inconvenience: the dropping of crutches when they are leaning somewhere. With GeoUpper, people with limb limitation avoid the difficulties and danger of picking them up from the ground.
GeoUpper is a solution that is part of the “solution culture” approach: demonstrating to “People with” pathologies that their needs and their wants are heard and there is maximum effort to meet them. Find out more

Psychological support is a primary need for people living with a chronic illness or their caregivers. That’s why we created Te-co: the first online psychological support service aimed at people with disease and their caregivers and delivered exclusively by experienced psychotherapists trained in the symptoms, coping difficulties and emotional impact of specific diseases.
The platform was co-created and tested with both psychotherapists and people with different conditions, and through this process we ensured usability, accessibility, and adherence.
We develop different types of innovative, affordable, and customized solutions to meet the needs of people with diseases and their caregivers.
