New partnerships

For commercial companies and healthcare agencies, LifeGuide offers a cost-effective opportunity to provide the public with 24 hour access to extensive automated information and advice on any problem. The advice can be specifically tailored to address the particular situation, concerns, and preferences of each individual, and intensive daily support can be provided for behaviour change. The interventions created in LifeGuide are easy to modify.
