Zest for life
Managing health challenges at work
The essential complement of care for those in poor health… and their companies
Zest for Life helps companies build more inclusive and productive work environments where every employee thrives.
The startup supports people with illnesses, as well as caregivers and managers, in the everyday challenges they face.
A medical world science, at the service of companies
Zest for Life offers customized, multi-disciplinary support programs based on Therapeutic Patient Education to accompany individuals, beyond the scope of medical care.
This science, originating from the hospital environment, allows patients to learn how to live well with their illness, thereby reducing its impact on their daily lives.
Mission accomplished for the 2,000 people supported and 700 professionals trained: a 50% increase in return to work, a 35% drop in sick leave and a 27% reduction in depression rate.
“After the birth of my son, I was convinced that my next adventure would be to launch a positive-impact start-up, but I had neither a favorite subject nor a partner... That's why I turned to Imagination Machine. From our very first discussions, I was won over by the team and their methodology. The spark happened when they introduced me to Elodie and her desire to spread Therapeutic Education. Zest for Life was born and, 1.5 years later, I feel proud and lucky to help this high potential project thrive and scale!”
