MedUX

MedUX will be an EHR software for medical doctors (especially general practitioners), physical therapists, non-medical practitioners and other persons in the periphery of medicine. The software will be released under the AGPLv3, therefore being completely open source, and can be used free of charge or license fees by anyone.

If you feel encouraged helping out with programming, software architecture, graphics, medical advices, sponsoring, etc., you are more than welcome - just see the contact page. We speak German, English, and a bit Spanish.

MedUX is in planning phase yet, there is no possibility getting running code by now. Albeit mainly authored in Austria, all specifications are written in English to enable interoperability and exchange with other countries.

Why we do this

I tried and evaluated a lot of Medical software until now - all projects, commercial or free, seemed either too cumbersome, too buggy, or having a bad cost-performance ratio to me, so I finally decided to start writing my own implementation from scratch. MedUX is started as - let me say, a proof-of-concept project, as many people tried to convince me that this is impossible to do.

I don't care. If noone starts, it will never exist.

  • MedUX aims to become a fully fledged Electronic Medical Record, in the first line for the *Austrian* health system, based on Free Open Source software.
  • It will be written in Python on the server side (Django, and probably Apollo/GraphQL?), and with a primary web frontend (Vue.js)?
  • Ideas/influences:

Feel free to help out with code, graphics, ideas, translations and technical/medical feedback. *Constructive* criticism (or even patches) are most welcome.

The software is licensed under the AGPLv3 which ensures that it will be available to everyone who needs it without any dependency on proprietary software. You can view the License here.

Aims of the project

  • Intuitive
    Easily learn using your EMR, without hassle.
  • Effective
    Software should be workflow acceleration.
  • Supportive
    Offer help & don't disturb workflows, wherever possible.
  • Open Source
    Be independent from your software vendor.
  • Standards compliant
    Keep up the interoperability with others.
  • Cross platform
    Windows, MacOS, Linux, anything.
  • Low system requirements
    Don't be urged to update your hardware every 3 years.
