HAEi is working to build solid relationships with between ACARE Centers and the member organizations in their country or region. In addition, we are providing a high level of technological support to broaden each Center’s reach and impact. Julia Föll, the ACARE Network Project Manager says:

“We are working closely with HAEi to design a new ACARE website that will enable patients to quickly find their closest ACARE Center and streamline the ACARE application process for clinics that specialize in angioedema diagnosis, care, and research. We are also working on adapting the technology that runs HAEi Academy – a platform housing education and training programs for member organizations and the general public – to host ACARE’s physician education program called LevelUp.”
