IMAXI Cooperative
Three years ago, a diverse group of people living with life-threatening diseases, advocates and IT specialists began to study how some new tools of communication could be best used to increase the involvement and participation of diverse stakeholders in 'public health'. Following trials of combining different existing platforms and writing open source code to create new ones, a toolbox for social mobilization via social media has been developed. To bring these tools into wider use through collaborative initiatives, the IMAXI Cooperative has been registered (NGO) in Kannur, Kerala, India.

The mission of the IMAXI Cooperative is to maximize access and increase stakeholding in public health issues and institutions by facilitating the innovative use of new open source IT, social media and mobile technologies. In short, we are passionate about social mobilization via social media with a warm 'human' face.
Open Minds - Open Source - Open Health

Founded in May 2010 by Celina DCosta Menezes, Prof. Joe Thomas and Case Gordon - "We're all volunteers, driven by passion, principles and the pleasure of collaboration". Small donations keep the IMAXI Cooperative going, and its initiatives growing, from the bottom-up.
