Why Aarogyam OHC?

​

Aarogyam online health community was established in February 2023 to improve community support and participation, provide better and comprehensive care, foster collaboration, and provide health-related information in a highly focused way.

 

Within three months of its inception, it has grown to a community of 1k+ participants, experts, and support practitioners. It is a rapidly expanding community support platform that is uses to give 

​

• Assisted Disease Specific initiatives

• Support groups and 

• Professional-led groups. 

​

Many benefits of Aarogyam OHC participation, including increased support, perceived improvement in health and well-being, self - confidence, and reduced overall stress, depression, and psychological trauma, have been identified within three- months.

 

Unlike other online communities, Aarogyam's OHCs aim to provide a variety of integrated support including group therapy, psycho-educational therapy, and professional-led groups. Individual efforts (supported self-management) and social support are thus two essential Aarogyam OHC characteristics.
