At Alpha, we make it our business to bring together the very best
minds in the world in order to do something truly unique. This means
shaping the future - this means effecting change on the world - and it’s
something we’re utterly determined to make happen.
Moonshots
are the big ideas that keep the wonderful people at Alpha constantly
interrogating what we think we know, as well as pushing the boundaries
allowing us to find out even more.
One of these Moonshots we are pushing the boundaries is within the domain of Health
We know that health means more than healthcare
At
Alpha, we take health very seriously. Too often, health is described
in terms of either illness or absence of illness, but it’s far more than
this. We believe in a positive definition of health that
encompasses everyday happiness and satisfaction with life, and we
recognise that such a positive definition of health is actually very
personal. For some of us, it’s perhaps as simple as a glorious day at
the beach with your family or friends, or proving to yourself that you
can run that 10k, or quitting smoking. For others, it could be finding
the best path to finally working through our anxieties and worries.
At
Alpha, we believe that advances in neuroscience, mobile computing, and
machine learning will now mean we can think the unthinkable and help
people to take control of their own behaviour, optimise their life, and
limit the effects of unhealthy behaviour on their bodies.
That’s why we’re helping people take more conscious control of their everyday actions
breakthrough
solutions to meet these challenges head-on. To support our work, we
are partnering with the best academics, developers and professionals
around the world.
