Bloggers & Innovators

Welcome bloggers, innovators and thought-leaders. As we have discovered, there are so many of you that have amazing stories to tell and experiences to share. Many of you have documented your struggle with Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis and of course, bowel cancer. You have posted videos about ostomy surgery and adapting to a new way of life and vented about the foods that make you sick and dehydration.

Being a patient isn’t easy. You are educated consumers in the healthcare system. You are engaged with your physicians and nurses, always learning, asking questions and investigating new therapies, treatments and using new connected devices that add quality to your life and give your healthcare team valuable insight into your illness.

So, upon saying that, we at 11 Health would like to give you a platform or soapbox to share anything you want. Our audience will be your audience and we love to listen and share your experience through our many social media channels or at events or press releases.

We will leave the topic and medium up to you. You can write a traditional blog, or create a Vine, Facebook or Youtube video. Perhaps you have a series of photos you have always wanted to share? Hey, go for it!

Would you like us to conduct a poll on your behalf, our team can easily accomplish this. We love variety, so send us your secrets for traveling with an ostomy. What can’t you travel without? When was the last time you were denied the use of a public washroom? How do you keep hydrated? Do you have a list of foods that digest easily?

If you are not sure, just email [email protected]. He can point you in the right direction and help get you started.

Other ideas include lists, lists are easy reading and there are so many topics that can be covered. Do have a list of ostomy products you want to try and encourage others to try as well?

Have you started a support group in your area, we would gladly promote this for you. How about other events? Charity runs, awareness campaigns and even concerts. Just connect with us now!

Do We Want Anything in Return for your Participation?

Absolutely not. We will publish your creative content and then share it and then share it again. 11 Health has a driving philosophy that underpins everything we do, and that is empowering patients to become advocates for their own quality of care. We want your physicians and nurses to listen to you, and we have provided them with new digital tools that record and distribute valuable data and at the same time add some normalcy to your life. For example, read about the Ostom-i Alert.

What We will Give You in Return

In return for inviting us into your life, we will give you as much real estate on our site as you need (if it’s more than a page, then maybe you are on your way to starting your own blog). If you need some editing, our team can help you with that.

We will then share your stuff across numerous social channels, and if you are just that awesome we may request to do an interview with you and publish that too! We may even ask you to join us at an event or participate in a case study or article that will get global exposure.

We are building a community of thought-leaders and story tellers, so you can submit as many things as you want. No real limits and no expiry or end dates.

We encourage anyone and everyone to participate. There are no judges or panels, just a dedicated team that is ready and willing to help.

If we publish your stuff, you become eligible to win a variety of fun prizes and permission to use the badge above at the top of your website or blog. A sign that you have become a distinguished thought-leader in our community.

Prizes may include an Ostom-i Alert Teddy Bear, an XL version of the Ostom-i Alert Teddy Bear, Ostom-i Alert Sensors, T-shirts, swag and a few surprises that we will tease along the journey.

You can submit as many times as you like and there is no limit on the number of prizes you could win.

Just think about it this way, your story or struggle may inspire or probably will inspire someone else, and that is almost better than any prize we could offer ever.
