Offline Open-Source Electronic Medical Records
Lightweight mini server
A mini, lightweight server designed to reduce logistical burdens, operating efficiently across various health facilities, featuring a high-speed processor and ample disk storage.
Offline networking
Creating a local network that enables offline management of patient records, with an integrated router allowing multiple devices (tablets, computers, etc.) to access patient data at one point without internet.
Powerbank supplied
Running on a power bank, the Raspberry Pi operates as a server, preventing disruptions from electricity outages and keeping the EMR system running for many hours in locations with limited power supply.
The EMR4All project aims at revolutionizing medical data access in areas where internet connectivity and electricity are scarce. Powered by OpenMRS running on a Raspberry Pi and supported by a power bank, this combination enables a health facility located in a remote area to operate offline with a local network, directly connecting to the EMR without the need for internet.
What is the EMR4All project?
COST EFFECTIVENESS
Up to 80% reduction in infrastructure costs compared to traditional server developments
EASE OF USE
Small form factor allow for easy deployment in remote health facilities, without being tethered to a power source
PORTABLE/ FLEXIBLE
Portable to deliver life-saving care anywhere, overcoming distance and infrastructure barriers.
REMOTE DATA SHARING
Data Sycnhonisation with health systems, for instant updates on patient cases, resources, and treatments.
EMR4All Kit
Implementation
The EMR4All is an open-source project supported by the OpenMRS community and health partners. The project complies with global digital health standards and open-source principles, making it accessible for anyone to use or implement,
Limited access to medical facilities
Portable mini-server kit with power bank and temperature controls; operates independently, with solar power options for low-resource areas.
Telemedicine Capabilities
Telemedicine feature enables real-time remote consultations, allowing cross-border collaboration and better specialist support.
Disease Surveillance and Control
Real-time data sync module allows for instant updates of patient records across sites, improving epidemic response and disease control.
Outbreak Management
Centralised remote data provides continuous access to up-to-date patient information, ensuring that healthcare providers always have accurate data, no matter where they are.
Fragmented and Outdated Patient Records
Centralized record system ensures continuous access to uo-to-date patient information, even in remote locations without internet access.
Epidemiology Control
Sharing data across multiple devices enables faster decision making for epidemiological response and disease control to track cases and coordinate interventions effectively.
IMPACT OF THE PROJECT
Our community members are actively working to spread the word through conferences, webinars, one-on-one conversations, and event sessions. You can be a part of our community as an ambassador for EMR4All. Join us to help revolutionize healthcare by improving access to medical records everywhere.
