Owning Our Health Charter

  1. We believe in the scientific method and research-validated medical interventions. 

  1. We believe in Decentralized Science as a solution to the erosion of centralized data and government funding for healthcare research.

     

  2. We believe the emperor has no clothes—our systems and institutions are failing us—and we believe in action in place of despair. 

  3. We believe “everyone will become disabled if they’re lucky. Aging is a privilege.” Health is a universal concern regardless of your (protected!) status.

  4. We believe all have a right to play/joy, and “fit is the birthright of every person.”

  5. We believe the solution lies with the community—the Kinn in Venice, CA is a unique place to help this thrive. 

  6. We believe in empowering individuals to own their healthcare, from their health data to literacy about their condition and treatment.

  7. We believe in accessibility and inclusion.

  8. We believe in ethical, thoughtful application of emergent technologies insofar as they enable and augment human access to healthcare—we abhor perverse applications that fail to consider or anticipate externalities and harms. 

  9. We believe in privacy, autonomy, and agency.

  10. We believe in preventive medicine.
