OPINIONET LOUNGE
Harnessing the collective wisdom and innovation to address practical challenges and opportunities!
Exclusivity
Engagement
The VIP Lounge is an exclusive space on the OpinioNet platform designed for P3 subscribers.
Using collective wisdom and innovation to solve practical challenges and opportunities. It is a gathering place, online or in person, for people connected by specific life and health challenges. Experiences are exchanged here, mutual understanding is supported, and doors to practical solutions are opened.
The initial setting foresees monthly meetings, but participants can suggest a different pace and manage the content!
Participants include people living with certain health conditions, their family members, caregivers, and anyone who wants to be involved in support and knowledge exchange. Access is exclusive to P3 OpinioNet subscribers.
There are two groups in the VIP Lounge that respond to the specific needs and life circumstances of participants:
• employed subscribers
• family members of employed subscribers
In the VIP Lounge, you get support in balancing demanding work and family obligations, find a space for open communication about health and aging, and feel included and valued. It is an opportunity to step out of your daily environment and connect with others who understand your situations.
Meetings are held monthly online, and occasionally in person, creating a warm, safe atmosphere for dialogue and mutual acquaintance. Each meeting is carefully designed to ensure a sense of belonging and exclusive access to information and resources.
There are five thematic OpinioNet Lounges:
• Asthma
• Singles
• Young talents
• Oncology
• Active Seniors
Each Lounge brings together people with similar life circumstances and needs for focused support and experience exchange.
Yes, but it is not recommended. Of course, in-person participation cannot be anonymous. We understand that some topics require discretion. Participation in communication can be completely anonymous to ensure maximum safety and comfort for all participants.

OpinioNet is a communication tool designed to strengthen family relationships and social connectedness.
The platform combines in-person and online interactions, helping families coordinate more effectively among themselves and communicate clearly with institutions, employers, and the broader community.
The OpinioNet subscription is unique because it brings together several important activities into one clear, useful, and easy-to-understand system.
The name OpinioNet reflects its core purpose – to connect people in situations where distance, illness, or crisis complicate everyday life.
“Opinio” stands for: “To hear and be heard!”
“Net” represents socializing and activities, meeting new people and exchanging new ideas.
Together, OpinioNet helps families address the challenges arising from modern lifestyles.
Many modern families live apart due to work commitments.
In dynamic family structures, communication — both within the family and with institutions and employers — often becomes complex, especially during emotionally demanding situations such as illness or old age.
Unforeseen or unplanned crisis situations demand substantial time and financial resources, often resulting in physical and emotional exhaustion.
Geographical distance between family members introduces an additional layer of vulnerability, making coordination and decision-making even more unpredictable and difficult.
Inspiration came from real-life situations where conversations about illness, aging, and care become uncomfortable or are endlessly postponed.
When family members are busy with work, overwhelmed by daily stress, or emotionally unprepared, these conversations become even more difficult.
Talking about inheritance or responsibilities is often avoided. And yet, postponing things later creates even more complications.
OpinioNet was inspired by the need to open up these conversations in time, to make them clearer and more constructive.
The purpose of OpinioNet is to facilitate effective communication about health, illness, and aging. OpinioNet helps bridge misunderstandings by offering tools, programs, and support to ensure that important decisions and everyday challenges are managed smoothly and collaboratively.
The goals of OpinioNet are to ensure safety in situations related to illness or aging, maintain independence and quality of daily life in demanding circumstances, and promote optimal use of time, smart investments, and energy conservation.
Specific goals are defined for families, professional service providers, and employers, focusing on efficient resource management.
Providing safety
Learning how to communicate with different professionals and institutions helps to understand situations. This provides safety and saves time.
Preventing burnout
Maintaining activities in the community strengthens independence and self-confidence. This preserves power and prevents burnout.
Eliminating fears
Knowing how to adapt to demanding situations enables wise investments. Smart investment eliminates fears and protects values.
Optimisation the frequency of doctor’s visits
Getting to know the needs of clients/patients whose families live far away – reduces the time for individual intervention and decreases the frequency of visits!
Another perspective for the career
Joining a transdisciplinary and international network accelerates regular work and allows participation in new projects.
Increasing the importance in the community
Using The OpinioNet’s infrastructure, technologies, and expert support increases the value of the work.
Changing the sick leave rate
Encouraging employees to use modern methods of caring for their families reduces the need for sick leave.
Impact on engagement at work
Meeting the emotional needs of employees has a positive impact on their commitment to work!
Participation in The OpinioNet makes the work process safer and more efficient.
Direct and indirect savings
The support of employees in planning complex family needs leads to direct and indirect savings.
Communication Against Loneliness
Creating innovative communication formats that help prevent loneliness and isolation, especially among vulnerable groups.
Communication Against Burnout
A specific goal is to protect the mental health of those who care for others – employees in public and social services.
Rethinking Real Estate Investments
Instead of building additional facilities lacking staff, the community is encouraged to adopt long-term, sustainable investment strategies that enable connected and dignified living.
The programs and projects envisaged under The OpinioNet are available both in online formats and in other formats executed at various locations in Austria and Croatia.
Subscribers can be located in any part of the world and their participation, i.e. use of contents, is not required.
Translations and interpretations ensure a level playing field for all participants to The OpinioNet, regardless of the knowledge of foreign languages!
