ABOUT US:
Vessel is a health communication company based in Trinidad and Tobago. Here, and in many other places in the West Indies, our daily environments are loaded with easy opportunities for people to make unhealthy choices — with their food, in their social lives, in their driving habits, and in their living and working conditions. In these environments many unhealthy products and services are so ingeniously well positioned, easily available and affordable that people fall seamlessly into making them their go-to products and services. Making easy and unhealthy choices over and over again leads to unhealthy habits that will be very hard to break. Ministers of Government and leading health professionals are often seen in the press lamenting that bad health habits are now the norm, and how massively expensive medical care is for people with lifestyle diseases. They also always emphasise that many lives and billions of dollars will be saved if people prevent disease [preventable diseases] instead of trying to cure them. This is where we come in. We are specialist designers for behaviour change. Our solutions nudge people towards better long-term health choices, and help save lots of money too! On this site you’ll find our thoughts, our ideas, and our work.
