People Who is a platform on the internet for all the people who live with an illness. An online platform aimed at patients and their closest environment. A place to talk, share experiences, keep control over the illness and stay informed. It is a pleasant, simple and accesible place because we speak the patients’s language.

People Who is an initiative developed in collaboration with patient associations, medical societies, nurses and care workers, with the support from companies and institutions. Together, we want to build a society that can better cope with illnesses.

Global platform, local websites
We live in a globalized world but when we talk about health, every country has its own regulations. People Who is meant to have an adaptable computing structure in order to comply with the legal requirements and good practices recommended for the industry and also to be able to incorporate medicines databases from each country.
