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.
