 ====== MedUX ======
-MedUX will be an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/|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 GPLv3, therefore being completely open source, and can be used **free of charge or license** 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 [[en:contact|contact page]]. We speak German, English, and a bit Spanish.

+===== Why we do this =====
-</dokuteaser>
+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 ([[https://vuejs.org/|Vue.js]])?
+  * Ideas/influences:
+    * [[https://www.freemedforms.com|FreeMedForms]]
+    * [[https://www.gnumed.org|Gnumed]]
+    * [[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problemorientierte_Dokumentation|PRODOK (DE)]]
+    * and many other EMRs I have seen elsewhere.
+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 [[en:license|License here]].
