Dr. Joel Robertson is the founder and CEO of Robertson Global Health Solutions Corporation (RGHS), Robertson Health Services, Inc. (RHS), Robertson Research Institute (RRI), Robertson Brain Health (RBH), and the Robertson Family Foundation (RFF), together called Robertson Health. Robertson Health is dedicated to making a lasting impact on healthcare around the world through a network of for-profit and non-profit organizations. This network of companies share a common goal: to save lives and improve quality of life through health information technology. The vision is backed with Dr. Robertson’s global initiative to change world medicine. RBH is dedicated to working with individuals, corporations and organizations, especially executives, to prevent disease and enhance performance at work and home.

In 2002, a tragedy led Dr. Robertson to expand his focus from brain chemistry and behavior to developing an accessible medical diagnostic information system. When the son of a close friend died because his doctors didn’t have immediate access to all relevant diagnostic information, Dr. Robertson was led on another personal mission: to turn the tragedy into an opportunity to help others by reducing the global rate of death from lack of access to medical care and misdiagnoses.

To accomplish his mission Dr. Robertson established a new organization, the Robertson Research Institute (RRI), which is a 501(c)(3) public charity. RRI was established as a public charity in order to ensure that life-saving technologies reach people in need regardless of financial or social status. Dr. Robertson founded this organization on the principles of compassion, respect, and hope. “I looked at a personal dream of mine and figured out how to support it,” says Robertson of the mission and philosophy of RRI. The organization is a unique incubator of sustainable and innovative medical technology and public/private partnerships. This approach has already led to successful collaboration with organizations as diverse as Microsoft Corporation, Intel Corporation, Johnson and Johnson, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Rotary International, Discovery Health (South Africa), HealthInsite (South Africa), Grameen Foundation USA, Hospital de Americano, Santa Domingo, Dominican Republic, the Rural Health Initiative of India and the Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences in India.

In 2005 Dr. Robertson formed NxOpinion, which later became RGHS, which focuses on the commercialization of the RHealth Advisor suite of medical applications. Dr. Robertson is well on his way to achieving his goal with the development of NxOpinion, the diagnostic engine in the RHealth Advisor application suite that provides physicians and other healthcare workers with timely and relevant information to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses. RHealth Advisor, a rich, versatile health knowledgebase and application platform, uses mobile technology, personal computers and web interface. RHealth Advisor is a regionalized source of health information and a global healthcare solution for use by institutions and practitioners worldwide. The NxOpinion diagnostic engine is one of Microsoft’s globally featured video case studies on best application of Microsoft technology to real world solutions and earned Robertson a 2004 Computerworld Honors Award nomination and a finalist as one of the top five medical software applications in the world.

A widely recognized leader in the area of brain chemistry and behavior, Dr. Robertson is an internationally recognized clinician, best-selling author, lecturer, and consultant. Over the past 25 years, over 14,000 individuals seeking to improve their personal performance, health, and wellness have been assessed and treated using his proprietary tools. Dr. Robertson has authored numerous books relating to brain chemistry and improving personal performance. His two most recent books are Peak Performance Living and Natural Prozac.

Throughout his professional career, Dr. Robertson has been a featured speaker at numerous American Medical Association and other professionally sponsored conferences. The treatment protocols from Dr. Robertson’s programs, as well as his recommendations, have been based on substantiated and documented data found in conservative medical journals such as Lancet, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), and the New England Journal of Medicine. Dr. Robertson has worked with many notable national and international clients such as the Detroit Red Wings, Leo Burnett Company, General Motors, Fuji Photo Films, Dow Corning Corporation, and the United States Department of Defense.

The online Brain Chemistry Optimization Program, which is derived from the Robertson Performance Enhancement Program, has been specifically developed for the convenience and betterment of individuals and as an educational resource for clinicians and their patients. It is available through Robertson Wellness and is based on the science of brain chemistry to help individuals overcome the personal inhibitors that compromise overall health, wellness, and performance. This program is widely used in the United States, Australia, South Africa and other parts of the world.

Originally contracted by the Federal Government to develop the National Treatment Protocols for Behavioral Emergencies and as a consultant on the team that developed the National Treatment Protocols for Cardiovascular Emergencies for Emergency Medical Services, diagnostic medicine was not an untraveled path for Dr. Robertson.

Dr. Robertson has twice been involved with special requests from the Department of Defense to work with high stress situations, including the Central Command Network in Panama and at the Pentagon as a consultant for five star generals.

Dr. Robertson has been an expert witness in several court cases, including consulting with the Attorney General’s office of Michigan and the Michigan Supreme Court.

Dr. Robertson has extended his efforts to impact others in a positive manner through numerous humanitarian activities. In August 2007, he, his wife, and family were accompanied on a medical mission trip to Dominican Republic Crossroads by 11 employees and friends. In Kurnool, India, he was privileged to be a keynote speaker and honored guest for his efforts at the opening of a Rotary Hospital in India. He was an honored guest with a parade and special ceremony in Banagannapalli, India for his efforts to help the poor of India. He has consulted with the Royal Family of Saudi Arabia, Governments of Sudan, Kenya, South Africa, Pakistan, Dubai and Abu Dhabi on global medicine and extending the reach to the rural poor of those countries. He has given several presentations at local, state and international Rotary Organizations teaching them how to reach the poor and underserved in rural areas worldwide. He has worked closely with the indigenous populations being a keynote speaker and working within tribal communities, in the United States and Canada. Dr. Robertson has worked within the inner city communities throughout the United States and other parts of the world with his world renowned program of “Raising Healthy Kids in an Unhealthy World.” Dr. Robertson has presented over 500 lectures on alcohol, drugs and parenting to a wide array of community groups.
