Step 1: Download Freemind, a software used to build mindmaps. https://sourceforge.net/projects/freemind/

Nodes: Nodes help connect various branches throughout |

the mindmap. Root node is the base idea or concept. Any subnode of a given node is called a child node, and the given node, in turn, is the child’s parent. Sibling nodes are nodes on the same hierarchical level under the same parent node. Nodes higher than a given node in the same lineage are ancestors and those below it are descendants. |
Step 2: The single node seen on a new file is the ‘Root node’. This is the main title of your protocol
eg. Hypertension screening
Step 3: Create ‘Parent nodes’ from the root nodes. These are the first level of protocol questions
eg.
Step 4: Create ‘Child nodes’ from the parent node. These are the second level of protocol questions. Many such levels of questions can be nested under the root node.

Attributes: Attribute define the characteristic of the node. Nodes can be given different attributes depending on the desired outcome. The attributes used in digital protocols are:

Step 5:
Tips:
It is recommended to limit the level of questions to 3-4 levels to avoid confusion for the user.
Translations will have to be inserted manually for each protocol.
