Abstract
The aim is to develop an Android application optimized for LMIC healthcare settings, utilizing Google's Open Health Stack for offline functionality. The application will be designed to integrate seamlessly with the enhanced FHIR module of OpenMRS 3.0. This integration will enable efficient data management with capabilities for offline data collection, and two-way synchronization with OpenMRS 3.0 once connectivity is available, improving healthcare delivery in resource-limited settings.
Required Skills
Excellent proficiency in Kotlin programming.
Strong understanding of FHIR technologies.
Familiarity and experience with working on FHIR, Google’s Open Health Stack & OpenMRS modules
Project Rating and Length
Advanced
350 hours
Objectives
Main feature
The Android application will feature the ability to connect to an OpenMRS Server, allowing end-users to initially download a list of patients. This enables them to modify patient records and complete forms even when offline. Subsequently, users can synchronize these modifications with the OpenMRS Server once connectivity is restored.
Primary Features
Encrypted FHIR Database: Implementation of encryption for the FHIR Database on Android to safeguard patient data.
Seamless Extensibility: Effortless integration for other organizations, facilitating white-label application functionality.
Automated Docker-based Installation: Fully documented and automated installation process using Docker for OpenMRS/Keycloak setup.
Synchronization FHIR Resources: Download FHIR resources (Questionnaire, Patient, Encounters) from server & store locally
Patient Registration: Register patient offline & ability to sync resource to server.
Dynamic Patient Identifier Type: Ability to fetch available Patient IdentifierTypes from the server & select for registered patients.
