The "WHealth" concept

Hi, my name is Jérôme Vasamillet, based in Switzerland. I created the concept of "WHealth" and writing about it with the conviction that Health is our most valuable asset. Through my posts, I share insights and relevant solutions to help individuals nurture their Wealth 💸 and Health 💚 assets all-in-one along their life journey.

My career spans across Fintech startups & scaleups, Wealth Management and setting up a Digital Health and InsurTech accelerator for a leading health insurance company in Switzerland. This experience showed me that there are many useful parallels between Healthcare and Wealth Management, yet there is no existing impactful connection between the two. Let's not finish our lives wealthy yet in an unhealthy condition - let's grow our wealth along the way to not finish it healthy but in poor conditions. Join me on my journey to connect Wealth and Health and #GetWHealthy together!

WHealth is the concept of considering your Health as your most valuable asset. I explain here the approach to helping individuals grow their wealth and enhance their health through what I named WHealth Care - a combination of Healthcare and Wealth Management.

Over the next posts, we’ll explore how this is represented by a new approach to managing your time and money through the WHealth Portfolio depicted hereafter:

The WHealth Portfolio combines time and money allocation for enhanced Healthcare and Wealth Management, leveraging Fintech and Digital Health solutions. It also helps you build the right preventive and positive impact habits.

On one hand, Wealth Management and Fintech tend to focus on preserving or growing our financial assets but lack true consideration for positive personal / social / environmental impact. On the other hand, Healthcare and Digital Health tend to focus with unfortunate delays on cure and treatment versus early prevention, diagnosis and recovery.

WHealth Care combines and augments the two by integrating our health as an asset that needs a focus on prevention and an overall approach for positive health / social / environment impact. It is constructed around WHealth Journeys which consist in building habits and using impactful solutions with a long-term approach for facing the ups and downs throughout our life journey. It's about optimizing time and money management in a structured way while setting measurable objectives for motivation and progress.

An "asset" being a valuable item that is owned, it’s natural to consider our health as our most valuable asset. We own it, our life and happiness depends on it, and it benefits from taking a preventive approach - just as saving in advance for retirement. As an asset, our health's value can increase or decrease: while some reasons are out of our control, others are in our grasp -  such as building healthy habits and focusing on prevention / monitoring / rehabilitation. In addition, it is important to link health with wealth, considering that higher levels of financial wealth can support activities and services enhancing our health. Conversely, better health can enable us to generate more financial wealth. If we don't need it ourselves, we can use that extra wealth to help people and the nature around us.

The objective of WHealth Care is dual: firstly to help individuals manage both through a unified approach (benefiting from best practices in each) and secondly, to provide the most relevant, personalized service for individuals to allocate their time and money.

Well-being is relative because it is usually the change from a previous state that leads to being aware of one’s well-being. It is also subjective because individuals place more, less, or no importance on health over wealth. People with various levels of health and wealth can live equally happy lives as others. However, a key question to ask yourself as early as possible is...

“Will I enjoy my wealth if I don’t have health?”
