Remarks
Avatars are a powerful concept that represent any person, place, or thing.
Avatars have a temporal memory for sharing information between projects. Apps can also be installed into avatars to enhanced their intelligence.
Dr. Know products typically already have a connected avatar (i.e. patient) when your scripts run. This means you already have access to this avatar (via the avatar object) and can skip this connection step.
Avatars and identities are special Symmetry concepts. An avatar represents any person, place, or thing. An identity is used to identify and connect to an avatar. Learn more at The Symmetry Project.
