The BHL Wellness Community - an outline
Think of it as a village in which the people are called netizens (internet
citizens) and they are all linked to each other via their computers.
As a villager, sitting at your computer, you can 'chat' with your fellow villagers
- in a forum or one to one. You will receive
up to date information about
community activities; about matters of general concern to the community, about
matters of specific interest to you.
You will be able to auction/buy/sell personal items; exchange
gifts, share experiences and arrange meetings with those whom you get to know
more closely - in groups that you join or set up for yourself.
You will never be alone, but your privacy will be carefully protected. Only the
details about yourself that you choose to make available will be on-line
for
other members to see. Your personal database could be as little as a nickname
alone, or it could include your photograph, your family members,
your business,
your hobbies and your favourite pastimes. All information is encrypted in an
unbreakable code, and only your personal ID and password
can open the packets
of data.
As a member of the community, you will have access to all the health information
you could possibly need - a library of a million books right in
your living
room. You can find the latest treatments for any disease; the correct dose, the
expected results and the possible side-effects of
any medication you are taking
- or are thinking of taking.
From the Wellness Centre, you will receive reminders of appointments you have
made and tests you are supposed to take. You will be notified
about when your
results are ready and receive guidelines on what your next step must be. From
your personal account you will be able to make payments,
place orders, make
donations, pay bills and receive credit - all from the comfort of your home.
With the Wellness Community we are literally rebuilding the connections between
people that used to make a village a familiar, secure and comforting place
in
which to live; a place in which people had similar values and shared interests,
and worked together for the common good. In the Wellness Community
the primary
focus is on healthy living, but good health, of course, means much more than
good food and exercise - as is expressed in the pledge that
members make on
becoming a part of the Community.
As a member of the Wellness Community you will live the fulfilment of our
motto: A better way of living; a better world to live in.
