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 clinical care, family support, medications, referrals, privacy, and our AI work together.
OpenCura is a virtual pediatric obesity clinic for children ages 8–17. Our board-certified clinicians deliver evaluation and evidence-based obesity treatment, while the platform and AI companions support the care plan between visits.
OpenCura is designed for children and teens ages 8–17 affected by obesity, and their families. Our clinical team evaluates each child individually to determine whether the program is appropriate for them.
Care can include pediatric medical care, nutrition support, behavioral health, health coaching, and family support through a personalized treatment plan set by the pediatrician. OpenCura is built around Intensive Health Behavior and Lifestyle Treatment (IHBLT), the comprehensive treatment approach recommended for pediatric obesity.
Family involvement changes as children grow. For ages 8–12, care is primarily parent-led, with children participating through an age-appropriate experience. For ages 13–17, teens take a more active role. Parents and clinicians remain involved throughout treatment in both.
AURA and MARK are AI wellness companions that help the child’s care circle reflect, build healthy habits, and prepare for care between visits. They do not diagnose, prescribe medication, or replace clinicians. Medical decisions are always made by board-certified clinicians.
When clinically appropriate, an OpenCura pediatric clinician may discuss or prescribe FDA-approved obesity medications as part of a broader treatment plan. Medication is not required to participate, and lifestyle and behavioral treatment remains the most important part of care.
Yes. OpenCura works with insurers to make care as accessible as possible. Coverage and out-of-pocket costs depend on your individual health plan. We also offer self-pay pricing for families without coverage or who prefer not to use insurance.

No. OpenCura focuses on sustainable habits, metabolic health, nutrition, movement, sleep, emotional well-being, and family support—not crash diets, shame, or one-size-fits-all plans.
Clinicians can use the referral path to provide practice and referrer context, an optional patient first name, guardian contact information, a referral reason, and clinical notes. The current referral form is a prototype, not a live referral channel: no PHI is required, transmitted, or stored, and entries remain local and reset.
For teens, independence, trust, and honest communication matter. OpenCura lets teens participate in decisions about what they share while still welcoming the people who support them. Consent and confidentiality rules vary by setting and location, so the experience is designed to support, not replace, clinical and legal requirements.
