What we do and don't
No. Aura and Mark are not clinicians, diagnostic tools, live monitors, or emergency services. OpenCura does not diagnose, prescribe, interpret medical measurements, or replace licensed care.
We work with an adolescent autonomy-first design. The teen controls what is shared with family members, clinicians, and other stakeholders in their care circle. Stakeholders can request access to specific or broader health markers at any time. Teens can revoke previously approved access.
For a more comprehensive, consent-based health picture as integrations become available. Progress remains descriptive reflection, not a scored or graded outcome.
Based on teen-approved access, stakeholders can follow the teen’s progress and health journey in both deeper and holistic ways. OpenCura also helps families become better consultants as they navigate adolescence-related changes, informed by established clinical guidelines, frameworks, and research.
Eating-disorder & safety support
In-built screens help teens name eating-disorder concerns and safety escalations, surface urgent next steps, and point to emergency care when needed. OpenCura does not diagnose medical emergencies or replace emergency services.

FAQs
How OpenCura fits in your daily lives.
OpenCura is an adolescent health and wellness platform for teens ages 13–17 managing overweight, obesity, or prediabetes. It brings in a teen’s chosen family members and clinicians through approved access, so support can be more personal, coordinated, and useful in daily life.
AURA and MARK are OpenCura’s AI health companions, trained around relevant clinical guidelines, care frameworks, and behavioral, conversational, and clinical evidence relating to adolescent health, overweight, obesity, prediabetes, and supportive care. They help personalize the platform, discuss a teen’s journey and questions, coordinate teen-approved activities with the care circle, and turn the moments a teen chooses to add into descriptive patterns for visualization and discussion. They do not diagnose, make medical decisions, monitor emergencies, or replace licensed care.
No. Aura and Mark are not clinicians, diagnostic tools, live monitors, or emergency services. OpenCura does not diagnose, prescribe, interpret medical measurements, or replace licensed care.
Families are an integral part of many teens’ care: they understand daily routines, help make space for appointments and activities, and can offer steady support and encouragement. OpenCura values and understands that role deeply. With the teen’s approved access, family members can use high-level context to prepare helpful activities and conversations, helping them understand more and support their child’s chronic-care health journey without automatic access to private conversations or clinical details.
Adolescence is a time when independence, trust, and honest communication matter. WHO guidance identifies adolescent participation in decisions about their own care as a core element of responsive health services. A teen-led approach can help young people speak more openly about health, build confidence, and grow independence in their own journey, while still welcoming the people who support them. Consent and confidentiality rules vary by setting and location; OpenCura is designed to support, not replace, those clinical and legal requirements.
Clinician expanded access follows a separate staged flow: the teen is made aware, approves the request, and a review step is recorded before access becomes active. Previously approved access can be revoked.
OpenCura is built around a teen’s lived journey rather than weight-loss scores, calorie targets, body grades, or appearance goals. It combines private reflection, teen-approved care-circle support, and descriptive patterns that can support better insights and conversations alongside clinician-led care.
A teen can do a ~2-minute private text or voice check-in for their daily health tracking routine. They can also save only the local moments they want to reflect on. Beyond OpenCura’s suggested check-ins and activities, they can prepare an activity, a family conversation, or a clinician question, and choose exactly what to share.
OpenCura is not an emergency service and does not live-monitor anyone. If a teen raises a safety or eating-concern, the experience can encourage a conversation with a trusted adult or licensed clinician and point toward urgent support. For immediate danger or a medical emergency, contact local emergency services or seek urgent care.
