OSTEOLINK is the first online and
in-person social network in Europe and
Australia designed for people with osteoporosis,
their friends, families and
healthcare professionals. OSTEOLINK
operates globally but is implemented
locally, working with a network of IOF
member Societies, who ensure the local
social and support needs of patients,
their families and their related healthcare
professionals are taken into account.
The technology used for OSTEOLINK
is not novel, but its application and
approach are unique, as the highly
adaptable and flexible master social
networking site is adapted at a country
level, translated into a local language,
implemented by a local society concerned
with patients with osteoporosis
and supported by a global and local
scientific committee. OSTEOLINK is
easily replicated at a country level and
has potential for economic exploitation
given the captive audience with specific
needs.
OSTEOLINK is now live in Sweden,
Austria, Switzerland and Australia. It is
scheduled to go live in Germany and
Greece. Negotiations with Portugal,
France and Spain have started, and
many more countries have expressed
an interest in the programme.
