SanAstra Foundation aims to empower individuals and improve quality of life of patients by improving their health literacy and (digital) health literacy.
One of our ongoing projects is providing a platform of a video library of stories and experiences in the ”doctors’ office”, designed to empower both patients and health professionals and to enable experience-based knowledge.
We are working to continuously grow our diverse collection of storytelling short videos where both, patients and health professionals can share unique real-life experiences related to navigating care through a health system, specifically exploring doctor-patient relationships. Our hope is for everyone to be able to learn from and support each other, and for educators and patient organizations to be able to use our content to their benefit.
