Resources about OpenCare

OpenCare Research workspace

You can get an inside view of the OpenCare European funded project (2016-2017). There is a discussion group where the curators coordinate work, organise, plan, evaluate and so on. Anyone is welcome to join. To visit or participate go here.

The OpenCare campaigns in 2016 and 2017

OPENandChange | August-September 2016: we have applied for the 100 million dollar grant with a “decentralized application”, with hundreds of communities, and organizations large and small, a swarm of solution providers working on a cloud of problems related to the provision of health and social care.

Fellowships for Storytelling | April-November 2016: we have supported 20 community members to editorialize their experiences of care and share them on the opencare platform.
