From using technology creatively to giving children a leadership role in preventive care, these innovations in Health Care are improving the lives and longevity of people around the world. These three projects were chosen as standout solutions by our expert judges and the Changemakers community.
Instant Birth Control
With the provocative ad campaign tag line, “No stirrups. No clinic. No hassle,” Planned Parenthood of the Columbia/Willamette (PPCW) became the first family planning provider in the US to offer access to birth control pills online. Interested women fill out a questionnaire online, which is reviewed by a nurse or nurse practitioner. If approved, the patient is sent a two-months’ supply of contraception in the mail. Follow up online care is required to continue the prescription.
No more long waits in busy offices, missing school or work, traveling great distances or facing the judgment of providers or pharmacists, to exercise a basic choice regarding reproductive health. For this innovation, the program was a winner of the Disruptive Innovations in Health and Health Care: Solutions People Want competition, sponsored by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Child Promoters of Oral Health
The Fundación BOCA SANA (Healthy Mouth Foundation) puts Venezuelan school children at the center of their own and their fellow students’ dental care by training them as scholar promoters of oral health. At 180 preschools and elementary schools throughout the country, 700 children have learned preventive dentistry – a health care routine that is easy for children to carry out on their own and which gives them and and their classmates a welcome responsible role in their own health that they bring home to their adult family members and carry with them throughout their lives.
This innovation was a winner of the Designing for Better Health competition, sponsored by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Better Health for Rural Communities
Getting medical treatment to those with complex health problems in rural communities is made much easier with the innovation of ECHO in New Mexico, US. This organization was a winner of the Disruptive Innovations In Health And Health Care: Solutions People Want competition, sponsored by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Using teleconferencing and videoconferencing; Internet-based assessment tools; online presentations; and telephone, fax, and e-mail communications, ECHO helps connect specialists with primary care providers in rural areas to promote the use of identified best practices and keep rural residents healthier.

Access to basic healthcare is a very big challenge in Rural India, and globally. 70% Indians live in villages, but 74% Doctors are in the urban areas. Attempts to take doctors to the rural areas have repeatedly failed. People are mostly treated by un/semi-qualified personnel. Those who can afford private healthcare have to spend much more than their urban counterparts. Diseases are detected late. Tens of millions of people get pushed below the poverty line annually because of healthcare expenditures alone!

Vegetables are foods that contain nutrients needed by the body, but the supply is still contaminated by many chemicals. Farmer became a milestone in the change. YIS engaged in community development in the field of economic development, health and education.
Problema
Now, public aware the needs of vegetables in nutrition and health, but in market it much exposed to chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Selo, Boyolali District, located on the slopes of Mount Merapi, is the agriculture center of vegetables and distributed to various regions in Central Java. Excessive use of chemical can affect the health of farmers, and consumers, e.g miscarriage in pregnancy, disturb the lungs, liver, cancer,and hypothyroidism.
Solución
Encourage farmers to produce healthy vegetables, will be done through:
- Campaign using the traditional approach of local culture, contains about the production and consumption of healthy vegetables. by targeting vegetable farmers especially women farmers because women have a big role in the household and children. It will also affect to vegetable consumers residing in other areas.
- Training, Train farmers on how to manage a healthy and organic farming. provide guidance on how to manufacture organic fertilizers and pesticides. Farmers are expected to perform eco-friendly agriculture to produce healthy vegetables independently and sustainable.
- Demonstration plot, organic vegetable farm as a model for vegetable farmers in District Selo.
Ejemplo
Farmers group gathered for get counseling and training on organic farming and the benefits for the environment and health. Farmers are also encouraged and assisted to make organic fertilizers and pesticides so the production cost is cheaper than using chemicals. With the skills, farmers can apply them in garden respectively.
Healthy and organic vegetables with better quality than conventional farms will solve the problem of scarcity of healthy organic vegetables at the market. With this change the farmer families and the wider community will be able to consume healthy organic vegetables, easier, cheaper and improve the economic welfare of vegetable farmers.
Impacto
With increased knowledge and skills of vegetable farmers about environmentally friendly agriculture, so farmers can understand, practice and produce healthy vegetables for themselves, their families and the wider consumer. Besides farmers contribute to protecting the environment by using organic fertilizers and pesticides and decrease the cost production so it will improve the welfare economic of farmers.
Today, organic vegetables still costly due to limited availability in the market, so the fact, organic vegetable consumption can only be made by high-income people. With the increasing number of farmers who produce organic vegetables, it will increase the availability of organic and healthy vegetables in the market so that the price is more affordable by the whole society.
Mercado
As center area of producing vegetables, vegetable farmers in the Selo sub-district have not been touched by mentoring program of development organic vegetable horticulture area, either by the Department of Agriculture and Food Security Agency. In addition, the introduction of environmentally friendly agricultural program is not only to preserve the environment, but also linked to the impact of improved health for farmers and consumers in other areas. More value of the program is the participation of women, it is also an embodiment of the MDG's points 3 which Promote gender equality and empower

Discurso rápido
Reality Gives and FMCH (Foundation for Mother and Child Health) believes that early health care and balanced nutrition are critical for a child to reach his /her full potential and dreams of a world where the potential of each child is not limited by poor early health or malnutrition.
Problema
43% of Indian children below the age of five years are underweight because of chronic under-nutrition (UNICEF). Incorrect infant feedings practises, lack of knowledge about weaning, using packaged foods rich in sugar and salt as snacks to feed hungry toddler are some of the causes that can lead to chronic under-nutrition in urban slum children. Malnutrition can cause morbidity and limited cognitive and physical growth.
Solución
To address the issue of malnutrition in Dharavi, one of Asia's biggest slum, the community-based NGO Reality Gives collaborates with FMCH, an organisation dedicated to the eradication of malnutrition in children ages 0-6 years from economically under –privileged families, since August 2012. To reduce malnutrition, FMCH activities are focused on the most important determinants of malnutrition. This means emphasizing disease control and prevention activities, education to improve domestic child-care and feeding practices like one on one nutritional counseling, cooking demos, home visits and micronutrient supplementation.
Ejemplo
The little boy Shlok, born in the slums of Mahalaxmi, Mumbai, weighed only 3.3kg when he came to FMCH's first program site at 3 months old . He was lethargic, thin and in and out of hospital. Over two months FMCH have monitored and supported him and educated his mother about nutrition health care. Now, at 5 months old he weighs 5kg, is alert, active and developmentally on track for his age.
Shlok is a good example of how FMCH's activities can impact a child's development. With Reality Gives support and FMCH's competence we can reach out to similar cases in Dharavi and raise awareness amongst the mothers of the communities.
Impacto
Since August 2012 87 kids have been registered at the FMCH Nutrition program in Dharavi. The team reported many individual success stories but an extensive evaluation won't be possible before completing one year of program implementation. We were FMCH's first experiment at partnering with other organisations and reaching their expertise beyond their sites at another slum area in Mumbai. Now they have developed a formal training program and have trained community health workers in Nasik, a nearby rural area. So our support for this pilot project has been a larger inspiration for the development of their organisation - and has a much larger impact than just our site.
Mercado
Instead of fighting malnutrition by handing out nutritious food to children in our slum community, we tackle the issue at its roots - the missing knowledge of the mothers! Many mothers are very young and had to move to the city after marriage, leaving their female role models behind. They never got the chance to learn how to care for a child. FMCH offers cooking demonstration, handing out the low cost recipes to the mother, provides intensive counseling on every child's habits and needs and prescribes individual diet schedules. This way the mother can apply her new knowledge on every child.
Plan de Sustentabilidad
The costs of the Nutrition Initiative in Dharavi are very low because we focus on awareness raising instead of treatment. In the future we hope to implement FMCH's formal community health workers training program in Dharavi to incorporate local women to conduct the program with the support of Reality Gives and FMCH. This way we will also be able to reach out to more women at lower costs.
Historia fundacional
The Reality Gives Community Centre exists since 2007. Last year a women came to the space to talk about her issues. Her two year old daughter was severely malnourished, weighed about the same as a one year old, was pretty immobile and the mother had said that she had a heart problem that needed surgery. She also said that she and her husband were not interested in having the surgery because she was a girl child and they just wanted to be rid of the burden she was placing on them. Before we could go for a home-visit and decide on what to talk about(within one week) the girl passed away.
We decided we need to raise awareness of EVERY child's potential and how simple it can be to care for their development.

If we would have a greater capacity we could reach out to more slum communities, within and beyond Dharavi. We could also expand from the nutrition to a higher level health program to ensure the well-being and healthy development of every child in Dharavi. That would include regular physician visits, vaccination and de-worming camps and micronutrient supplementation.

Happy Healthy Home is a holistic solution to provide vital nutrients to a family or household in a manner that controls daily health damages and prevents from falling ill. This comes in a bouquet of products & services that are based upon nature-care and are free from any artificial substances.
Problema
Damages occur in our lives on a daily basis due to unsafe food, wrong eating habits coupled with stress, lack of exercise, radiation & polluted external environment. There is a sole reliance on cure rather than on prevention, which leads to a flourishing Pharmaceuticals industry, often mistaken as Healthcare industry. Mushrooming of spurious healthcare products & overuse of chemicals further aggravate the plethora of problems faced by mankind!
Solución
Our products offer resistance to environmental factors and maintain natural health coupled with a definite boost to body's immunizing capabilities to fight diseases. We offer affordable healthcare solutions for all population segments as they are made from nature's bounty in terms of herbs, medicinal plants and concoctions. Small ailments like joint & muscular pains, liver and kidney damages, digestion/metabolism disorders etc. get corrected with the use of our products & by undergoing alternative therapy treatment. With our mission as 'Health for All', we provide complete healthcare solution coupled with product promotion, health awareness/education, training and support services based upon 'Everything Natural' theme.
Ejemplo
While on one hand our products for consumption like aloe-vera juice and seven-herb juice provide vitality and all round nutrition to human body, the external applications of products like aloe-gel and soap for instance are carving niche in the marketplace, as can be verified by numerous testimonials available with us. On the other hand our alternative therapy services like electric accupressure bed & techniques are proving path-breaking in terms of their impact on individual's health and fitness.
Impacto
Our work has started generating tremendous response as more & more users of our products and services have reported significant improvement on their wellness & fitness. However our goal is to achieve a significant impact on the health of the poor and vulnerables, a large number of who fall back into Poverty trap because of their ill-affordability of medical care especially on account of expenses on critical healthcare in their households. We plan to reduce monthly medical expenses in a typical Indian household by 50% and food savings on account of less expenditure on food purchases by another 15% of their monthly expenditure as we guarantee a significant reduction in both food and medicine expenditure against the use of our products and services, We will reach out to about 150000 households through 60 outlets in next 2 years, which means a saving of Rs. 2.3 million (@1500 per HH) alone.
Mercado
The Indian healthcare industry valued at US$ 65 billion worth of healthcare spend (2012) is estimated to reach US$ 100 billion by 2015, growing 20 per cent year-on-year, as per rating agency Fitch. India currently faces a chronic shortage of healthcare infrastructure especially in rural/peri-urban areas and as per PWC, India needs 1.75 million new beds by the year 2025. The annual pharma market in India is valued at USD 20 billion and is growing at over 15.3% per annum. Even if we assume 1% of these two supplied by unconventional options, our target market is over 1000 crore rupees annually.
Plan de Sustentabilidad
Wellness or to remain healthy is the single most important need of the mankind. Added to it is the factor of affordability which makes or breaks the appeal of certain products. With the virtue of operating in affordable healthcare and wellness segment, our sustainability is automatically ensured. Further since one third of our products are made in-house and there is an equal emphasis on nature therapy, we are in strong position to sustain self.
Historia fundacional
Being ambitious is directly proportional to being healthy as both of us co-founders have felt it strongly as we embarked on our journey to do something together. As we wanted to do number of things together, often our health used to take a toll and therefore we decided to first tackle itself before moving further with our plans, without realising that 'Healthcare and Wellness' itself was an overpowering idea that needed a push. Hence the concept came into being.

Since we have to create mass awareness around wellness and disease-free life, we would like to take-up yoga camps, sensitization-health camps etc. eventually, which would work go a long way to build our brand. Also 'health foods' will be a separate vertical in our store hence investing in nutrient rich farming is an obvious vertical backward integration to ensure availability of healthy inputs e.g. organic and safe foods.

Discurso rápido
Vitálius trabaja por erradicar la pobreza extrema y el hambre, especialmente al hambre oculta (deficiencia de micronutrientes) que hace a las personas más susceptibles a enfermedades infecciosas, perjudica el desarrollo físico y mental, reduce la productividad, generando con ello más pobreza.
Problema
En Colombia, el 13,6% de los niños menores de 5 años sufren de desnutrición crónica, ya que no alcanzan a ingerir un óptimo nivel de micronutrientes (minerales y vitaminas). El 50% de estos niños presenta deficiencias Zinc, 25% en Vitamina A, y el 25% de Hierro. La principal consecuencia de estas deficiencias es la anemia ferropenia (falta de Hierro en sangre), causando un retardo en el crecimiento y en el desarrollo cognoscitivo.
Solución
Vitalius es un negocio social que contribuye a mejorar el estado nutricional de los niños en condición en deficiencia de micronutrientes, por medio de la fortificación de alimentos de la canasta básica familiar con micronutrientes (Vit A, B, C, B1, B2, B3, B9, B12, hierro y zinc) básicos requeridos para una correcta formación y crecimiento de los infantes a precios costo-eficientes. Nuestros alimentos contribuyen a prevenir enfermedades relacionadas con el déficit de micronutrientes como lo es la anemia ferropenica y sus defensas. El resultado; niños saludables, bien nutridos y completamente desarrollados con todas sus capacidades físicas y mentales en óptimas condiciones para ser más productivos y así romper el Circulo de la Pobreza.
Ejemplo
Vitalius (negocio social) fortifica productos de la canasta básica familiar con los micronutrientes que le hacen falta a la población colombiana, en especial a los niños para mejorar el desarrollo físico y cognitivo. El primer producto que se fortificó es la panela que consume diariamente en Colombia (32 kg per cápita anual).
El negocio social vende a un precio asequible (igual al precio del mercado) a la población con mayor vulnerabilidad alimentaria. El margen de utilidad se reinvierte en el desarrollo de nuevos productos fortificados o en otras actividades para aumentar el impacto social. Se está estudiando el desarrollo de nuevos productos como lo es una bebida láctea, pulpa de fruta y/o Arroz que permitan incluir más micronutrientes.
Impacto
Vitálius ha entregado 100 kilos de panela fortificada a la Fundación Nutrir que atiende diariamente 3 mil niños, con la cual se podrían preparar 6670 tazas de agua panela. Se capacitaron 40 personas de Asprocafe Ingruma en BPM en alianza con el SENA. 4 empleos directos.
En Caldas para el 2013 esperamos llegar a más de 9644 niños consolidando este plan piloto en la región. Adicional a esto estamos ofreciendo por medio de tiendas más de 60 mil kilos de Panela Fortificada que estarán a la mano de los consumidores para mejorar su estado nutricional.
En los departamentos de Valle del Cauca y Nariño se realizará el lanzamiento de Vitálius en un trapiche para llegar a comedores comunitarios y fundadores (canal institucional). En Valle del cauca y Nariño se espera beneficiar a 5 mil y 3 mil niños respectivamente para el 2013, implementando así este piloto en las regiones mencionadas.
Mercado
Competidor directo de la panela: Fortipanela, frente a ellos tenemos 2 características relevantes, ellos tiene una porción de 30 gr a comparación de la nuestra que es de 15 gr con esto garantizamos mejor aporte nutricional, ellos tienen 5 micronutrientes nosotros 7 y ellos no controlan la producción, se asocian con trapiches comunitarios. Competencia indirecta y complementaria: Complejo de vitaminas, tarrito rojo JGB y algunos alimentos fortificados. El mercado ha validado nuestro primer producto, contamos con 3 cartas de intención de compra de Fundación Nutrir, Fun Paz y Nuevo despertar.
Plan de Sustentabilidad
Próximamente Iniciaremos ventas de productos fortificados. Se plantean otros ingresos a través de transferencia de la metodología de fortificación de alimentos (transformación productiva, diseño y desarrollo de estrategias de mercado, análisis de laboratorio, acompañamiento y desarrollo del plan de transferencia).Seremos proveedores de la matriz fortificante para el producto. Buscaremos fuentes de financiación hasta alcanzar punto de equilibrio.
Historia fundacional
En la encuesta nutricional de Hogares (ENSIN 2010) se refleja una deficiencia de micronutrientes en niños < 5 años con una desnutrición crónica del 13.6% evidenciando un problema de desnutrición en Colombia, es así como en el 2011 encontramos una oportunidad para abordar esta problemática a nivel regional y con proyección global, a través de la fortificación de alimentos.

Una mayor capacidad en nuestro negocio social nos ayudaría a potencializar la calidad de nuestro primer producto fortificado “Panela Vitálius”” en sus 4 presentaciones y con ello la eficiencia de nuestra solución. Puesto que este aumento de capacidad se vería reflejado en un incremento de las ventas, el precio dejaría de ser una variable tan sensible, facilitando con ello el logro del impacto social esperado.
De igual manera nuestro producto obtendría mayor reconocimiento en el mercado local, regional y nacional.

Trauma robs the body of nutrients & vitality. PeaceMeals gathers individuals in the aftermath of trauma in the kitchen & around the table for authentic support & nutritional healing. It empowers survivors through creative, cathartic cooking lessons, community building, & nutritionally tailored meals
Problema
Loss, conflict, disaster, rape, abuse, and daily stress: no one can fully insulate themselves from trauma. It depletes the brain and body of nutrients and robs us of vitality. Only when survivors regain optimum nutrient levels can they restore mental and physical well being. It is a social problem to be addressed on an individual and community basis, so we need innovative, holistic methods of healing in order to live up to our full potential.
Solución
PeaceMeals is a new paradigm for healing. It works through creative and cathartic cuisine and community. Survivors take recovery into their own hands by reconnecting with the foods, places, and people that nourish both bodies and minds. PeaceMeals gathers groups of individuals who have been through similar situations for cooking classes and dinner parties. But there's a twist: each dish is nutritionally tailored to address certain post-trauma symptoms including depression, anxiety, and fatigue. With some guidance, groups lead conversation at dinner according to their needs, and grow organic and authentic support networks around the table. The program now includes diverse groups who rely on each other beyond the Meal - and reuse the recipes!
Ejemplo
Fatim’s mother died just one year ago. Living in a traditional Arab society, she learned to put on a brave face and became the mother in her family at age 22. At first Fatim was wary that the PeaceMeal would be another group therapy session where everyone was expected to spill their guts to strangers. To Fatim’s surprise, the focus was not on her trauma but on learning to cook healthy recipes using locally-sourced ingredients. Gathered in a home, the group of women learned which foods are useful when feeling tired, anxious, or sad. Slowly the conversation shifted to coping strategies when missing those who no longer share our tables. Each person who had formerly been a stranger became Fatim’s mentor, counselor, co-chef, and friend.
Impacto
To date, 90 people have participated in at least one of 11 PeaceMeals groups. 69.8% of participants report reusing the curriculum afterwards. On a scale of 1 (Did not create/deepen any relationships) to 5 (Created many new/deep relationships) the average rating is a 3.5. PM projects to have at least 10 more self-sustaining groups throughout the world within the next year. PM's impact was recognized by the Andi Foundation’s 2012 prize for 'Ordinary Women Doing Extraordinary Things'. PM is successful when people experience meaningful and sustained physical, mental, and social improvement. PM has wide impact: once someone joins, they can replicate skills at home and refer back to the curriculum for guidance on nourishing themselves, their families, and communities. They also make lasting friends who understand them on a deeper level than those you would meet at an average dinner party.
Mercado
There are group therapies, nutritional supplements, diets, cooking classes & dinner parties. But never do these elements meet to support targeted populations. PeaceMeals pulls these into functional synergy in order to facilitate true healing. It fills in the nutrient gap in a creative, innovative, affordable way. PM's holistic program & curriculum are built on collaboration with professional counselors, nutritionists and chefs. It is not a diet program, a step-by-step recovery program, nor a culinary school. It is meant to complement, not compete with, individuals’ existing therapies.
Plan de Sustentabilidad
Currently admin, legal, & website fees are funded by personal savings & a small grant. Meals themselves are primarily covered by participants paying on a sliding scale depending on menu, number of participants, and ability to pay. Some groups even agree to sponsor a meal for others who can’t afford it. However, in order to innovate, scale, and export it to others, and to maintain ongoing admin fees, we must continually seek outside funding.
Historia fundacional
Growing up through coup d'etats in the Philippines, I learned how trauma could live inside the body. Later, working with survivors of conflict & torture, I saw the need for a holistic approach to healing. In America, I met others working through personal traumas without authentic support networks. Traumatized individuals often live in “crisis mode” without the ability to savor. My life is testimony to the healing power of food, for both physical and mental health. I love the creative process of cooking and feeding others like family. On one long bus ride, a friend made me write down all the reasons why I didn’t think PeaceMeals would work, then write what I would need to address each reason. That day, PeaceMeals became reality.

PeaceMeals facilitates human wellness & vitality through nourishing foods and creative, cathartic dinner parties. The curriculum combines the science of nutritional healing & the philosophy of group therapy. With greater capacity, the program could also incorporate healthy environments. We could set up PM spaces– gardens, kitchens, and eventually homes– where participants could find solace & healing with others who have been through similar traumas. This would increase PM's quality & sustainability, as these environments could be training spaces for participants to facilitate their own PMs.
