Welcome to the official home of the Open Health Stack (OHS) Software Foundation, an umbrella project hosted within the Linux Foundation.
The OHS Software Foundation is dedicated to providing open-source building blocks that enable developers to build "next-gen" digital health solutions; that promote interoperability (through HL7® FHIR® standard), are designed for low-resource settings (e.g. off-line capable, local and cloud deployable) and that enable AI for Global Health.
🏗️ Software Foundation Status: Formal Formation Phase The OHS Software Foundation is currently in the formation phase. We have transitioned the technical assets and are finalizing the projct charter and governance framework. We welcome interested parties.
🚀 Core Projects The following core components are transitioning to the OHS Foundation:
Mature libraries
- Android FHIR SDK: A set of Kotlin libraries for building offline-first Android health apps.
- FHIR Gateway: A secure proxy for managing access to FHIR servers.
- FHIR Data Pipes: Tools for moving FHIR data into analytics engines like BigQuery or ClickHouse.
🏗️ New Projects
- To-do: Add KMP-FHIR, kmp-fhirpath, and OHS-player repositories
🤝 Get Involved We are looking for contributors, health systems, and technology partners to help shape the future of open-source health infrastructure.
Join the Community If you or your organization are interested in joining the foundation, contributing to the roadmap, or participating in a Special Interest Group (SIG), we would love to hear from you.
