Brief history and accomplishments
NetUnion was founded in 1996, in Lausanne, Switzerland. We specialise in the research and development of individually tailored, guided self-help programs for chronic disease prevention and management, focusing on food, and diet related disorders, i.e. obesity, diabetes, eating disorders, as well as associated addictive and behavioural disorders.
The company has a successful track record for transforming the latest research into clinical applications. Our leading program, Salut BN, a guided self-help program for Bulimia sufferers, is a good example. Clinicians in 6 European countries are now using this program as part of their clinical service on a daily basis. The program was developed and validated within the European research project "Salut".
Building on this success, we are currently developing a program for obese patients with Binge Eating Disorders, as well as a motivational and behavioural program for pathological gamblers, an addictive behaviour with severe social and psychological consequences.
Strategic direction and research themes
At the edge of applied research, our activities are by necessity multidisciplinary, both on the research and on the practical level.
Network Expansion: We are actively seeking to expand our collaboration with research and medical partners interested in clinical research or development of currently available services, i.e. deploying the Salut programs for bulimia or binge eating disorders for obese patients.
Continual Innovation: Our goal is to develop evidence-based programs for promoting mental and physical health across different life stages (adolescent, adult, elderly). To maintain a high level of innovation, we are seeking to participate in projects dealing with these research themes.
