CaringBridge is a charitable nonprofit organization offering free personalized websites to people facing a serious medical condition or hospitalization, undergoing medical treatment and/or recovering from a significant accident, illness, injury or procedure[1]. Its functionality is similar to a blog. The service allows family members and friends to receive consistent information via a single website, and eliminates the need to place and receive numerous telephone calls. Visitors who are provided the personal Website address (or URL) and password, if required, can read updates on the patient's condition and post their own messages of support and encouragement to the family.
CaringBridge sites make it easier for patients, caregivers, families and friends to exchange information about a patient's medical condition or disease on an ongoing basis. The websites are designed to become conduits between patients, their families, friends, neighbors and colleagues.[1] When visiting an individual’s website, visitors can post messages of support during a significant medical condition, crisis or event.
Anyone can set up a site for him/herself, a friend or family member by entering basic information, selecting a name for the website, and choosing a password. The site creator then chooses a page design from a menu of pre-determined graphical styles and sets the desired level of privacy and security on the site[2].
The creator enters basic information about the patient or situation, posts photos, and writes about the current condition. As the situation changes, the creator posts updates to that information. When those updates are made, anyone who registered on that website receives an e-mail notifying them that an update was posted. Guests can also leave messages for the patient or family in an online guestbook on that site.
