Our Story

MHF was pioneered by Dr. David Alter, a cardiologist and research scientist with over 25 years of expertise in cardiovascular prevention, health systems and outcomes research, and population health. 

Created within a Learning Health System, Dr. Alter brought together a team of clinicians, research scientists, and software engineers to develop and implement the MHF digital platform to allow for a dynamic approach to preventative care. 

Developed in 2017, MHF has undergone extensive research development and testing and continuous quality improvement to establish scientific efficacy. 

MHF integrates patients/clients together with health care providers and health system payers, to offer a comprehensive learning-based solution designed to incorporate health data to dynamically “catch-and-modify” lifestyle behaviours of patients optimize the lifestyle the health of those at greatest risk of disease and disease-related complications.
