The M.O.S.A.I.C. Method™: A Revolutionary Approach to Wellness
The M.O.S.A.I.C. Method™—now a trademarked process—represents a groundbreaking approach to patient education, assessment, and treatment. It combines advanced technology to evaluate, collect data, treat, and reassess each patient, offering a comprehensive and individualized pathway to optimal health. More than a treatment plan, the M.O.S.A.I.C. Method™ challenges every patient to critically examine their lifestyle and evaluate whether their current habits are truly serving their health and longevity.
Recognizing the growing need for proactive solutions in healthcare, Dr. Harper expanded this philosophy into the creation of the “Maverick Health Century Club™“, a visionary initiative that reflects his lifelong dream to help individuals live stronger, healthier lives into their 100’s and beyond.
Dr. Harper foresaw the looming “Health Storm” decades ago—a crisis brought on by the aging Baby Boomer generation. As this population began turning 65 and older, he predicted that the demand for traditional healthcare services would overwhelm the system, leaving it unable to effectively care for those most in need. Today, his predictions have become reality, confirmed by major headlines in the Toronto Star and Globe and Mail.
The statistics are staggering: by 2036, Canada will face a critical tipping point as senior citizens outnumber tax-paying younger generations for the first time in history. Combined with a healthcare system that is already under immense strain, this demographic shift poses significant challenges. Chronic illnesses, which are increasingly prevalent as people age, threaten to consume any remaining resources, making the current model unsustainable.
By following The M.O.S.A.I.C. Method™, patients are guided to develop their own personalized wellness plan, empowering them to take proactive steps toward better health. This approach does not merely aim to prevent illness; it aspires to transform lives—ensuring that individuals can age with vitality, independence, and purpose.
Through innovation, education, and a steadfast commitment to his patients, Dr. Dave continues to redefine what it means to thrive in the 21st century, turning the dream of healthy aging into a tangible reality for all.
A major piece of this was the creation of the “Wellopolis™ Metaverse”. Dr. Dave transforms into Doctor MoveWell, the Sage of Wellopolis™, where patients can see themselves as their own best version of themselves, as they become their own Health Hero, where they are given an opportunity to create their own Hero Story in Comic form! This gamification of Health and Wellness bridges fun and education for all ages!
In 2018, Dr. Dave rebranded MOSAIC Life CARE as Maverick Health and relocated to the Niagara Region, envisioning it as a future hub for health, wellness, and vitality.
By December 2024, he officially left the GTA to fully commit to this vision, positioning Niagara as a center for proactive, innovative care.
The M.O.S.A.I.C. Method™ – A step-by-step framework guiding patients toward sustainable health and vitality.
The T.E.A.M. U.P. Approach™ – A strategy that aligns care with the patient’s personal HERO story, supporting their journey to “win the game of life” and leave a legacy of longevity with vitality.
The Wellopolis Metaverse™ – A space where patients can engage with their own Hero Story and even produce their own personalized comic about their own life’s challenges and envision themselves as their own Health Hero!
Dr. Dave likens this journey to climbing their own personalized Life’s Mountain, where Maverick Health and Dr. Dave (a.k.a. Doctor MoveWell™), serves as the “Sage” and “Sherpa”, providing the tools and wisdom needed to overcome challenges and thrive.
With Niagara as its epicenter, Dr. Dave’s vision is to inspire individuals, families, and communities to prioritize health and wellness, making Niagara a world-class hub for vitality and innovation.
Dr. Harper was quoted saying, “I believe that you were born to be well and live a vital and purpose driven life. You cannot do this if you are sick, or expire sooner than you were meant to. You can only live out your dream for your life if you are fully expressing the life and energy of that life that you were meant to live. It is my passion to help you discover the value of your life as you discover your life’s purpose… Start now!”
Our clear goal for every patient is a safe and transformational experience by reclaiming their health potential from the devastating effects of sedentary living and poor lifestyle choices. Our practice exists to….give the members of our community an “edge”.
At work, at sport, at play and at life, we exist to provide a safe haven for each member of our community to discover how to live whole and powerful lives, on purpose.
