  • Publication number: 20210407630
    Abstract: A system and a computer-implemented method for generating a protocol portal. A computing system receives a request to generate a protocol portal from a client device. The computing system generates a protocol portal for the client. The protocol portal includes one or more protocol portal templates. The computing system receives content for a protocol associated with the protocol portal from the client device. The computing system transforms the received content into a format compatible with the protocol portal. The computing system dynamically tags content uploaded by the client device. The computing system generates one or more graphical user interfaces for the protocol portal using the received content and the protocol portal templates.
