David Aylward is the President of COMCARE, and Senior Advisor, Global Health and Technology, at Ashoka, the 30 year old international network of social entrepreneurs. David is currently leading initiatives intended to increase the wellness/vitality of disadvantaged people (not just provide sickcare). These involve creating new sustainable collaborations of citizen, public, and private organizations, enabled by modern medical diagnostics and information and communications technologies, especially wireless. These person-centered and community-based approaches include a major focus on full nourishment, “door step” primary health, sanitation, mental health, empowering people on these matters, and other key contributors to wellness and human capacity. www.ashoka.org; www.nutrientsforall.org; www.healthforallgroup.com.
