Developer Info

Introduction

HIE of One is an open-source initiative aimed at creating a patient-controlled alternative to standard electronic health records. Our project emphasizes decentralization, sovereignty, and the integration of AI in healthcare data management. We welcome developers who share our vision of empowering patients and Clinicians through technology.

Our ecosystem consists of several key components:

  1. Trustee Community: A GNAP Authorization Server
  2. NOSH: A GNAP Resource Server and Electronic Health Record system

As a developer, you have the opportunity to contribute to these existing projects or build your own applications using our infrastructure.
