About Clearly Health
Clearly Health is dedicated to improving health through education. Our movies help patients learn more about specific health conditions and how healthy living, along with prescribed medications, work to improve their well-being. It is our belief that people are empowered through knowledge. Patients who are informed are engaged in their treatment. This leads to improved health outcomes through increased adherence to prescribed treatment.
Online Content
All content on the Clearly Health web site is produced and owned exclusively by Clearly Health Inc. An advisory board reviews and approves all content during production — before it is made available online.
Advisory Boards
Each production has unique advisory board comprised of health care professionals with relevant subject matter expertise. Advisory board members include doctors, nurses, dietitians, physiotherapists, and other experts. For every topic we explore -- from diabetes to osteoporosis -- we enlist qualified experts, in order to ensure that patients receive reliable, easy-to-understand information. Each advisory board is directed by our corporate medical advisors.
Corporate Medical Advisors
The ClearlyHealth medical advisors consult on the production of content and recruit the advisory boards for each series of videos produced. The currently medical advisors are Dr. Ehud Ur and Dr. Michel Chiasson.
