Sumario:OBJECTIVES: Global spread of COVID-19 at an unprecedented speed has heavily strained healthcare systems worldwide, and reliable alternatives to analogue healthcare are urgently needed. METHODS: During the first COVID-19 wave in the Netherlands, we launched six regional online networks and analysed the activity and content in a qualitative mixed-methods manner. RESULTS: We observed continued activity and collaboration on the platform between healthcare professionals at the different levels of care. CONCLUSION: The networks described here were launched successfully and have the potential to optimise the COVID-19 response.
