Healthcare platforms

Comparisons of open-source healthcare platforms: FHIR servers and healthcare developer platforms, medical imaging (DICOM) servers and electronic medical record systems.

Medplum

Comparisons anchored on Medplum, the Apache-2.0 healthcare developer platform built on FHIR, available as a hosted service or self-hosted.

HAPI FHIR

Comparisons anchored on HAPI FHIR, the Apache-2.0 Java FHIR library and JPA server: against Medplum, Microsoft's FHIR Server and Blaze, its commercial sibling Smile CDR, and the choice between its plain and JPA server models.

OpenEMR

Comparisons anchored on OpenEMR, the GPL-3.0 ONC-certified electronic health record and practice management system: against OpenMRS, GNU Health and Medplum, and AWS cloud packages against self-hosting.

OpenMRS

Comparisons anchored on OpenMRS, the MPL-2.0 medical record platform for resource-constrained settings: against Bahmni, DHIS2 and GNU Health, and the O3 reference application against the 2.x platform.

Bahmni

Comparisons anchored on Bahmni, the open-source hospital system that combines OpenMRS, Odoo, OpenELIS and dcm4chee: its Lite and Standard configurations and its fit against OpenEMR.

Orthanc

Comparisons anchored on Orthanc, the GPL-3.0 lightweight DICOM server: against the dcm4chee archive, and SQLite against PostgreSQL storage for production.

OHIF Viewer

Comparisons anchored on the OHIF Viewer, the MIT-licensed zero-footprint web DICOM viewer from the Open Health Imaging Foundation.
