LTD (REGISTRATION NUMBER 2000/002641/07) ON CO-OPERATION IN DEVELOPING AND PRESENTING SOFTWARE TOOLS AND COURSES FOR THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY
The following constitutes the Heads of Agreement between Robertson and the Foundation for Professional Development Pty. Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “The Foundation”), as related to the co-operation in developing and presenting software tools and courses for the healthcare industry.
|
1.
|
DURATION
It is agreed that the parties will commence working together to achieve the purpose as set out below as from the date of signature by both parties of this Agreement and for three consecutive years thereafter. After the initial period, the agreement will be extended for an additional three year period unless one of the parties terminates the agreement on the grounds as stipulated in clause 8.4 below.
|
|
2.
|
PURPOSE
The purpose of this Agreement is for the Robertson and the Foundation to co-operate together for the purposes of developing, compiling, conducting, administering and presenting software tools and courses for the healthcare industry (hereinafter referred to as “software” and “courses” respectively).
|
|
|
2.1
|
Software. It is proposed that parties collaborate to provide a client for a consumer version of RHealth Advisor which incorporates the disease screening system, disease reference, health record and health tips including first aid guides. The collaboration would bring the functionality described in more detail below to users of the MXit social media platform. It is also proposed that the parties collaborate to provide a clinical version of the RHealth Advisor mobile WAP based client of the aforementioned software to qualified medical professionals as determined by the parties.
|
|
|
2.2
|
In summary, the functionality of the application would include:
|
|
|
2.2.1
|
Screening. Users can enter symptoms to guide them (if a clinical professional) to an accurate diagnosis and if permitted suggested treatment or if not permitted a referral onwards to appropriate level of care providers.
|
|
|
2.2.2
|
Reference Guide. Users can search for diseases or symptoms and read more information about them.
|
|
|
2.2.3
|
Health Tips. Users can search current, relevant health tips which are listed by category such as “new mommy”, “teen health”, “first aid” or “men’s health”etc. Users can view daily health tips that are continually updated based on topics that are popular in health at the present time and in general.
|
|
|
2.2.4
|
Health Record. Users can enter their personal health information including demographics, allergy history, immunizations, and more. All the information stored can be utilized during the screening process making the referral even more accurate and customized to the individual.
|
|
|
2.2.5
|
The Foundation and Robertson will work together to ensure that any updates required to the prevalence and treatment publish sets are updated on a bi-yearly basis. This will entail The Foundation facilitating a 1-3 day workshop with selected medical experts through which content can be reviewed and updated.
|
1
|
|
2.2.6
|
Each renewal has a disease set localized to meet the prevalence of disease for the specific demographic, geographic, and climatory factors affecting the patients in their constituency. This regionalized disease set is published for use by the RHealth Advisor suite of applications. Regionalization is done in conjunction with a medical review board established by Robertson and the Foundation to ensure local relevance of diseases, symptoms, and their relative correlation to the region. Robertson will facilitate this process working with an appropriate team of local physicians and medical experts drawn together by the Foundation. Robertson retains responsibility for approving medical content updates and publishing these updates upon renewal for use by RHealth Advisor per this review process.
|
|
|
2.3
|
Courses. It is proposed that parties collaborate to provide courses to qualified healthcare professionals relating to Robertson’s Brain Chemistry Optimisation and Performance Enhancement Programs. This programme is subject to there being sufficient demand for such a training programme. An overview of these courses can be found in Annexure “C”.

The Robertson Wellness Brain Chemistry Model, on which the Performance Enhancement Programs are founded, is proven, unique research technology based on over 20 years of clinical research and assessments of more than 14,000 people. The Performance Enhancement Programs were instituted by Dr. Joel C. Robertson, Pharm. D., specifically for the betterment of individuals and as a tool to assist individuals in reaching their peak performance at work, home and play. With over 287,000 variables, our individualized plans incorporate medically recognized studies on how brain chemicals can be affected to promote healthier behaviors and thought patterns. We know our techniques are successful because 87 percent of people who have gone through our programs over the last twenty years have reported improvement in areas such as addictions control, mood stabilization, interpersonal relationships, weight management, self-esteem, stress and anxiety management, problem-solving and overall performance.
Level 1: “Maximizing Personal Health and Performance: Through Brain Chemistry Technology”

· Harnessing the Source of Power in Our Brain
· Understanding the Performance Enhancement Program
· Enhancing the Corporate Executive

Learning Objectives
|
Participants will acquire a working knowledge of the basic science of brain chemistry and behaviour. The Robertson Model of Behaviour will be examined and participants will demonstrate applied theory through the hands-on interpretation and application of a Performance Enhancement Program (PEP), This Performance Enhancement evaluation will provide the professional with methods to maximize an individual’s brain including dietary, nutritional, activity, exercise, and behavioural techniques that are “prescribed” for the particular individual.
Additionally the professional will be able to work with the individual to learn more about their own creativity--are they more effective in a group or alone? When are they most efficient, and for what task? Should they work within a detail environment, or are they better adapted to developing creative long range plans? The professional will have working knowledge that these and other factors are determined in part by the person’s physiology. Individuals working in environments that are not consistent with their biochemistry will burn out and become negatively affected by stress in all areas of their lives.
