The system continuously tracks each user's interactions with different types and categories of content as well as with other users. Based partially on each user's tracked interactions, a probability based model of preferences, interests, and needs is created for each user. The probability based model is then used to predict a user's compatibility with other users and to recommend content. Based on predicted compatibilities, communities and groups of users are recommended to each user. To account for changing user profiles, each user's profile is periodically assessed against the profiles of other users for compatibility. Similarities in interests, preferences, and needs between users, as well as peer rankings, are taken into account when assessing compatibility between users and user groups and communities. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system for providing online content to users, the system comprising: a document database containing a plurality of documents, said documents being accessible by said users, each document of said plurality of documents being tagged with at least one topic to which said document relates, said content comprising at least said plurality of documents; a content personalization and recommendation module for managing and recommending said documents in said document database; a user model module for managing profiles for said users; a user assessment and recommendation module for assessing and recommending the compatible users or groups of compatible users to each other. a user private social network module; wherein said user assessment and recommendation module periodically assesses each user profile against all other user profiles; and said user assessment and recommendation module determines similarities between users to determine if specific users are compatible with other specific users. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein said documents relate to health and wellness. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein said user assessment and recommendation module determines a user's interests based on interactions between said user and at least one document in said document database. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein said user assessment and recommendation module determines if specific users are likely compatible with other users as friends. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The system according to claim 4, wherein said user assessment and recommendation module uses rankings by other users to determine compatibility. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The system according to claim 4, wherein said user assessment and recommendation module uses user interests as indicated in user profiles to determine compatibility between different users. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein user profiles include data relating to a user's medical condition. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The system according to claim 7, wherein said system provides recommendations to users based on a user's medical condition. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein said user assessment and recommendation module assesses a user's profile against other user profiles when said user's profile has been adjusted. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein said user assessment and recommendation module periodically assesses a user's profile against other user profiles. ### Claim 11 (depends on 4) The system according to claim 4, wherein said user assessment and recommendation module uses user rankings of other users to determine compatibility between different users. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein said system gathers information directly from said users regarding user activities. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The system according to claim 12, wherein said user activities includes at least one of: duration of visits to pages in said system, pages visited, resources used, user indicated likes, user entered comments, user participation in at least one program accessed through said system, user entered bookmarks in said user, user created content, user shared content, and user generated direct messages to other users. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein data regarding said user is gathered by said system using a user interface, said user interface being used to gather data regarding said user's health and well-being. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The system according to claim 14, wherein said user interface includes a visual cue regarding a subject of said data being gathered from said user. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein said system is used in creating a personalized support group of users for a specific user. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The system according to claim 16, wherein said personalized support group is in support of a specific chronic condition of said specific user. ### Claim 18 A system for use in interacting with content and other users, the system comprising: a document database containing a plurality of documents, each document of said plurality of documents being tagged with at least one topic; a user model module for managing profiles for said users; a user assessment and recommendation module for assessing each user profile against other user profiles to determine compatibility with other users; a user interaction module for tracking user interactions with said content on said system, said content comprising at least said plurality of documents; wherein user interactions with said content cause changes to specific user profiles; and said user assessment and recommendation module periodically assesses each user profile against all other user profiles.
