Our Mission

Empower New Mexico's seniors through prevention and person-centered care, enhancing health, independence, and quality of life by improving services, resources, and community support for healthy aging.

We want to help New Mexico’s seniors live healthier, happier, and more independent lives. Our goal is to make sure you have what you need to stay strong, safe, and connected- every step of the way.

The Vive Bien / Live Well App Helps Seniors in:

Vive Bien/Live Well is a program based on the World Health Organization's Integrated Care for Older People approach. New Mexico will be the first state in the U.S to implement it. The program is funded by the New Mexico Health Care Authority and implemented by the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center, Department of General Internal Medicine and Geriatrics.

As part of this program, we developed a mobile health app called Vive Bien/Live Well - IOS and Vive Bien NM - Android, designed for seniors in New Mexico to promote healthy aging and better prepare them for shared decision-making with clinicians.

We have conducted focus groups and individual interviews with seniors in New Mexico to ask what healthy aging means to them and to gather their perspectives on mobile health technologies.

So we listened and made it simple, bilingual, and able to work even without internet (offline).

Vive Bien/Live Well Program

App Health Checks

The Vive Bien/Live Well program conducts health checks on your app in 6 important areas that shape seniors' health.

Each area looks at an important part of your daily life, like:

• Memory and Thinking

• Healthy Eating

• Moving Around

• Emotional Health

• Seeing Clearly

• Hearing Well

The app of the Vive Bien/Live Well will show if there is an area of concern or decline in "My Plan".

Additionally, you would be able to add your "Health Goal".

These short check-ins help you stay healthy, independent, and active.



Personalized Care Plans

"My Plan" is a summary of your results, including next steps, prevention tips, recommendations, and local resources.

You can download your "My Plan" and share it with your care team, and get support if needed.

Health Goal

Your health goal will help clinicians understand what matters most to you, based on what you know about your health over the next year.

An example is: I want to walk 5 Km by Fall.

It is recommended to repeat the Health Checks in the app every 6 months.
