At the Institute of Contextual Health (IOCH), we envision a world where personalized, science-driven care transcends the traditional boundaries of healthcare, recognizing that health is a dynamic journey of change and adaptation.
IOCH empowers individuals through the science of change, integrating personalized care, cutting-edge research, technology, and community to transform healthcare. We believe health is a dynamic journey shaped by personal and environmental contexts. By fostering connections and leveraging innovative, evidence-based solutions, we guide each person toward meaningful and sustainable change in their well-being.
IOCH is pioneering a transformative approach to human health, advancing the boundaries of scientific understanding. We shift the traditional paradigm by embracing a functional contextual perspective, exploring the interplay of historical and biopsychosocial factors, and processes of behavior change influencing well-being. Our research contributes to groundbreaking improvements in healthcare case management and care delivery, fostering a more responsive and individualized approach to health outcomes. Discover more about our innovative path through the groundbreaking science of the Human Rehabilitation Framework (HRF).
We are dedicated to the translation and dissemination of knowledge to the broader community, providing a liberating perspective grounded in functional contextualism. As a working proof of concept, IOCH has developed the Human Rehabilitation Framework (HRF) as a first-generation vehicle for professional and individual education. We believe in empowering professionals with the knowledge and tools to embrace human complexity and contextual factors impacting human health through rigorous and comprehensive educational programming delivered through our Educational Program.
We also deliver personal development and health education programming to individuals through our Community Clinic. This platform provides invaluable education and insights that help individuals understand and take ownership of their health conditions, fostering a more informed and health-conscious society.
At IOCH, we recognize that human performance is a multifaceted process. Our studies delve into the myriad of factors that can optimize or inhibit human potential in professional, personal, athletic, and academic domains. Using the principles of functional contextualism, we identify key processes that lead to success and create interventions tailored to individual needs. This personalized approach empowers individuals to unlock their full potential and excel in their pursuits, reflecting our commitment to a more nuanced and compassionate understanding of human capability.
