Virtual communities are an important part of computing in today's society.

There are various online communities and social networking sites that can help people exchange information. You can make connections with various groups and build a solid foundation for information, support and services. There are many areas that virtual communities can connect together. From an article in Systems, Applications and Products in Data Processing (SAP), there is a very useful diagram to describe the different areas that virtual communities can follow. Socially oriented virtual communities are the original type of community from which all other types of communities evolved. This typology is further divided into the “relationship building” and “entertainment” typologies. (Markus, 2002) Then there is the type of career orientation that appears to be the basis for knowledge sharing and practice, also called “knowledge community”. This can include learning and sharing a common interest which is essential for this type of forum. Then there is the area of ​​commercial orientation, where instead of being "socially motivated", "commercially oriented" communities aim to make a profit or gain a financial advantage. From the point of view of the SAP guide, the type of community must be identified and defined in order to allow the optimal organization and management of the functions and contents of a virtual community.

In conclusion with all of the advanced techniques and the growing virtual minute industry. It is obvious that it can be a very useful tool in the healthcare sector. Much in-depth research is needed on the political, ethical, and legal issues associated with virtual health communities. Quality is key to providing useful knowledge to share. There should be a stronger push to provide evidence-based guidelines for the development of such communities and the need to maximize the ease of use and user-friendliness of programs is evident. Considering chronic diseases and pathologies, using these sources to provide information to patients has a positive impact. More research should be carried out in this area to understand the behavioral characteristics of virtual communities to provide the best possible care.
