Intelligent Health
Intelligent Health (IH) was founded by practising GP, Dr William Bird MBE, and is dedicated to increasing physical activity and improving the health of communities around the world. IH believe a healthy community needs all stakeholders working together to make a difference – people, organisations and leaders.
Dr Bird is the co-author of the Oxford Textbook on Nature and Health, editing the work of leading clinicians, academics and researchers in this field. Additionally, he had set up one of the UK’s first green gyms, and green social prescribing services and is a strategic health advisor to Natural England and set up health forecasts for the Met Office. Dr Bird has been instrumental in the development of this project’s bid through the introduction of the project’s co-investigators.
Intelligent Health achieves change through community-wide initiatives (such as the Beat the Street programme), personal activity trackers, social prescription and bringing together key partners. Dr William Bird speaks nationally and internationally as a subject matter expert and consequently could assist with wider dissemination and connecting the dots including identification of suitable international forums for the Nature’s way project.
