GEOGRAPHY OF WELLNESS
The Geography of Wellness is a groundbreaking initiative focusing on providing robust wellness market data for select countries around the world. Each country’s wellness economy data is presented on a dedicated country webpage, as well as in a detailed Wellness Economy Country Report, which shows the trajectory of the wellness economy, the composition of the country’s wellness economy, and other exclusive data by sector and subsector.
INITIATIVES
A wide range of important industry Initiatives, supported by the GWI and led by Initiative Chairs who are renowned thought-leaders in their field, have been instrumental in powering the growth of the multi-trillion-dollar global wellness economy and uniting the health and wellness industries.
WELLNESS EVIDENCE
Wellness Evidence is the first portal designed to help you find authoritative studies that show the medical evidence for various wellness modalities. By providing access to thousands of clinical studies evaluating the effectiveness of approaches from chiropractic to weight loss, Wellness Evidence makes it easier for the millions of people seeking alternative health solutions to research and evaluate wellness alternatives at the most authoritative sources of evidence-based medicine.
WELLNESS MOONSHOT
The Wellness Moonshot: A World Free of Preventable Disease was created to be a powerful, collaborative force to educate people about prevention and inspire them to take control of their health. Prevention is no longer optional to global wellness—it is mission-critical. Lifestyle-related diseases and the continuously skyrocketing cost of healthcare are creating a global crisis that is affecting us both physically and mentally.
