THE PROBLEM

Health systems in low-resource settings face a fragmented landscape of proprietary tools, abandoned open-source projects, and custom-built solutions that lack interoperability, documentation, and community support. Governments and health organizations are told to go open source but find repositories with no documentation, no governance, no contributor community, and no path from code to clinical deployment.

Open source in global health often means free to download, expensive to fail with.

PRODUCTS

What we build

A coordinated suite of interoperable products sharing FHIR R4 as the common data standard.

Agnes

+ Canopy layer

Population health and economic intelligence platform. Agnes Canopy draws on city-level dashboard work and neighborhood-level analysis to provide actionable population health insights. Built on FHIR R4.

ORBIT

Care coordination platform enabling structured data exchange between providers, community organizations, and patients across institutional boundaries.

NexusEMR

AHN flagship

Electronic medical record designed for low-resource clinical settings. Open-source, FHIR-compliant, built for local administration. The flagship product for African Health Nexus deployment.

Copper + Penny

Personal wellness platform connecting individual health data with community resources and developmental content.

HOW WE WORK

Develop

Core team builds and maintains the code. Every product runs on open standards, deploys independently, and connects to systems already in use. Glebs manages digital infrastructure and DevOps. Alex leads data systems architecture. Hafiz builds application layers. Sigfried provides health data science expertise.

Document

Every product has a public GitHub repo with README, contribution guidelines, architecture documentation, and setup instructions. A contributor onboarding guide walks new developers from clone to first pull request.

Sustain

Grant funding sustains core development. Contributor community reduces the bus factor. Documentation ensures continuity. The Foundation structure provides institutional resilience and broad funding eligibility.

ARCHITECTURE

One standard. Many products.

FHIR R4 spine connecting products Agnes Canopy ORBIT NexusEMR Copper Penny

Data flows between population health surveillance, clinical care, care coordination, and individual wellness in ways that standalone products cannot support.

GOVERNANCE

A program of the Adloris Foundation.

Open Source Harbor is a program of the Adloris Foundation, a 501(c)(3) based in the United States. Products are built on open standards, maintained by a transatlantic contributor community, and shared without condition.
