Revolutionizing Healthcare Delivery with Open-Source Innovation
About us
Open Healthcare Network is an open-source, community-driven initiative, founded on the belief that better healthcare is a right, not a privilege. Our mission is simple yet profound: to revolutionize healthcare delivery and make it accessible to all through innovation and collaboration. Led by over 600+ passionate contributors, we’ve built CARE, a state-of-the-art EMR system that integrates seamlessly with healthcare facilities to reduce administrative burdens and improve patient care. Alongside it is CARE Scribe, an AI tool designed to streamline documentation using voice technology, giving healthcare providers more time to focus on their patients. Key Features &Highlights - ABDM HCX Integration - Fully integrated with India's Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission. - Real-time Monitoring - Enables tracking of vitals and room conditions in adherence to ONVIF specifications for critical care environments. - Medical Device Integration: Connects effortlessly with healthcare equipment using HL7 standards, ensuring interoperability and efficiency. We are driven by a purpose larger than just technology. Our products have already made a tangible difference—CARE was recognized as a 50th Digital Public Good by the United Nations, and we’ve received support from major partners like GitHub, Microsoft, and OpenAI. Join our movement. Whether you're a developer, a healthcare professional, or simply someone who believes in a better future for healthcare, you have a role to play. Together, we are shaping a healthier, more equitable tomorrow. Explore our GitHub - https://github.com/ohcnetwork Join our Slack Community - slack.ohc.network

With Leaderboard V2, we’ve added support to identify both returning contributors and new contributors making it easier to see who’s consistently driving the community forward and who’s just getting started. Because strong communities grow in two ways: by retaining people, and by welcoming new ones. It may seem like a small addition, but it helps you understand your community better.

CARE has made healthcare more affordable and created real impact across India by improving how hospitals and health systems work. We’re now looking to grow this impact, reaching more people and working with partners to make healthcare more affordable and accessible.
>>What started during the COVID19 pandemic as a volunteer-driven response to the pandemic rapidly evolved into a full-fledged open health platform. CARE initially solved real-time problems such as bed and oxygen tracking, patient triage and referrals, and district level dashboards for administrators in Kerala. This problem-first evolution ensured the system was grounded in real public health workflows rather than abstract architecture. >>I ran into Pinaki Krishna who is one of the moving spirits and one of the leaders behind this project, and after that initial conversation, have been trying to help him find the funding he needs to complete their work over the next 2 years. I have introduced him to some people who are helping him to tie up part of the funding he needs to complete the project. Time is against him and the going has been slow for various reasons. There are some green shoots visible now, and I hope things will move satisfactorily. >>In Kerala's palliative program, CARE supports 1,300+ primary care centers, 1300+ NGOs, 3 lakh registered patients, 1.2 million home-care consultations, and 6,000+ daily users. I was taken through the CARE dash board, and I could drill down into the data in the system to see every detail of how the system works. Please reflect on the numbers given in this para, to get an idea of the scale at which the system is already working in real time today! >>The other major project rolled out by OHC is the 1BEdICU, which enables hospitals needing such support to get such an ICU which will be a boon for patients and doctors and nurses in such towns and regions. For 10BedICU, 120+ critical-care hospitals across 7 states are using CARE-linked TeleICU workflows, with 1.5 lakh patients and 1,696 daily active users. >>What we are seeing in operation, across Kerala, and selected locations across 7 other states in India, is the rolling out of Digital Public Infrastructure at a scale probably not seen anywhere in the world. This system is already delivery what it promises, and can be seamlessly scaled up to cover every part of the healthcare system of every state in the country. Built by a distributed community of 1000+ contributors, this project should be fully supported by the GOI and States. It is difficult to understand why Pinaki and team have to run from pillar to post to get funding to continue their work. We have decided to support them in any way we can. I hope others will join in.

When we crossed 1300+ contributors at OHC, we faced a challenge. Our leaderboard wasn’t reflecting real contribution. It was rewarding activity, not impact. And that gap started to matter. So we reimagined and rebuilt it from scratch. Now, the OHC leaderboard focuses on how people contribute, not just how much: • Issues, PRs, and Reviews are treated as distinct contributions • Activity is tracked over time - for both individuals and the community • Comparative analytics add context, not just raw numbers • Contributor impact is now visible and easier to understand This isn’t a UI update. It’s a shift from activity → insight. Because contribution should mean something. Built for the community and it’s open source, so you can set it up for your community https://lnkd.in/g7NM2jK6 See the leaderboard in action: https://lnkd.in/gxcdJYzG #OpenSource #CommunityBuilding #OHC

CARE HIS went live on 18th January 2026 at Sree Sudheendra Medical Mission Hospital, Cochin - Kerala. CARE has been in active use across Indian states since 2020, supporting government and community organisations in pandemic management, tele-ICU, and palliative care deployments. This marked CARE's expansion into a full Hospital Information System (HIS) in a live hospital setting. Sree Sudheendra is a 200-bed hospital with 26 clinical departments, handling around 6,000–7,000 outpatient consultations and ~500 inpatient cases every month. This marks an important milestone toward building an affordable, scalable healthcare ecosystem. #DigitalHealth #PublicHealth #HIS #HealthcareIndia

Watching this scale up is deeply energising for us, proud of everyone who has contributed to making this possible, and excited for what comes next.
At eGov Foundation (https://egov.org.in), we are starting 2026 on a high note. Yesterday we signed an MoU with the Government of Karnataka for the pilot rollout of the CARE HMIS—a significant milestone in the evolution of India’s digital public health infrastructure. Our Journey So Far: - Launched 10BedICU/CARE in 2021 during the Covid delta wave. - Deployed in 220 hospitals, 14 TeleICU hubs in 11 states - Now covering over 23% of India’s districts. The success of the CARE platform has sparked a demand for expanded support. We are now moving beyond ICUs(11 states) and Palliative care(Kerala) to support a full fledged HMIS (Hospital Management Information System) across Government tertiary and secondary hospitals, as well as Community Health Clinics (CHCs). Karnataka joins Jharkhand, Assam, and Manipur as the fourth state to pilot the CARE-based HMIS. The Tech Behind the Impact: CARE is a United Nations-recognized Healthcare Digital Public Good (DPG). It is fully open-source and integrated with ABDM (Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission). Our new HMIS modules include: Lab Management (LMIS) Tele-Radiology, Pharmacy, Inventory Mgmt., Billing & Payments, Patient ABHA Registration & Scheduling and Emergency/Casualty. Built on international standards like FHIR(R4), SNOMED CT, and LOINC, CARE is powered by one of India’s most active open-source communities with over 1,000 contributors. Join the movement at https://ohc.network/ - reshare post to friends/colleagues. A heartful thank you to our partner ACT Grants for funding the HMIS pilots in four states and their unwavering trust and long-term commitment to building a healthier, digital-first India. 🇮🇳 Dinesh Gundu Rao Department of Health and Family Welfare Services - Govt. of Karnataka Vinod Khosla Dr. RS Sharma National Health Authority (NHA) NITI Aayog Dasra Social Impact (Dasra) Viraj Tyagi #10BedICU #CARE #ohcnetwork #DigitalPublicGoods #DPG #DigitalHealth #PublicHealth #OpenSource #HealthTech #IndiaDigitalMission #GovTech #eGovernmentsFoundation #FHIR #SNOMEDCT #Interoperability

Here’s a glimpse into our latest workflow simulation session at OHC Network. We recreated an end-to-end user journey inside a healthcare facility, from patient walk-in to documentation flow, to observe how our product performs in real-world clinical scenarios. What unfolded was exactly what drives innovation: A room filled with ideas, healthy debates, testing loops, UI reviews, and meaningful breakthroughs. Proud of our team for constantly pushing boundaries and shaping a more connected, efficient, and intuitive healthcare ecosystem. Edits Powered By: Google #GeminiAI
