Contact Person: Thomas Karopka

The GNU Health project provides tools for individuals, health professionals, institutions and governments to proactively assess and improve the underlying determinants of health, from the socioeconomic agents to the molecular basis of disease.

GNU Health is a Libre, community driven project from GNU Solidario, a non-profit humanitarian organization focused on Social Medicine. The core component is the GNU Health & Hospital Management Information System (HMIS). The HMIS is complemented by a Mobile Personal Health Record Application called MyGNUHealth.

The GNU Health Federation server Thalamus allows to build large, nation wide federated networks with thousands of heterogeneous nodes.
