Bridging all medical approaches: Making alternative and conventional medicine accessible to everyone

Overview

Curra was founded on the realization that most people are unfamiliar with treatment methods beyond conventional medicine. The events of October 7th underscored the urgent need to inform and provide access to those seeking solutions for their physical or mental health issues, highlighting the multitude of lesser-known treatment options available.

Problem Statement

Despite the growing interest and potential benefits of alternative and non-conventional therapies, many people remain unaware of the full range of available treatments, their benefits, and how to access them. Additionally, there is a lack of comprehensive, reliable, and easily accessible information regarding these therapies, leading to underutilization and misconceptions. Many individuals also do not know about the various funding options available for these treatments, which further limits their use.

Objective

To design a user-friendly, informative, and comprehensive website that centralizes all information related to alternative and non-conventional therapies. The website will educate users on the different types of treatments available, their benefits, and how to access them, including potential funding options. The site will also aim to reduce barriers to entry by providing clear, accessible, and trustworthy information, thereby encouraging more informed and proactive health decisions.
