MyOpenCare enables users to manage the creation and sharing of treatment plans and/or approaches in combination with the system's multimedia content. Once the "thread" has been created, the user will then be able to edit the content, i.e. with the inclusion or deletion of text or image.
The user will manage his or her content according to a graph-based structure. This information will then branch out according to the user's choices.
The creation of personal H-Books is a feature available to every user. It is designed for medical professionals interested in contributing content in exchange for increased visibility.Using MyOpenCare health professionals will be able to manage the creation and distribution of treatment and/or formative paths, which will be paths created combining the multimedia content in the system, aimed towards the production of different threads. On the nodes and edges of the path users will be able to include descriptive texts or short in-depth examinations. The user will travel along graph-based structures: on certain nodes the path will fork into two or more edges depending on the users' choices (i.e.. slightly different symptoms lead to different pathologies, or there can be multiple suggested cures)
