Abstract

Shifting the common one-to-one doctor-patient dialogue into many-to-many discussions carried between people suffering from the same conditions enables the formation of communities of sharing and support where patients can find treatments suitable for their illnesses. The xVASSal project serves as a platform of communication in a virtual organization in digital healthcare. Having an agent oriented approach, it offers a personalized experience for each user, helping with the selection of treatments without compromising the user`s identity.
