Background

OpenMRS is a software platform and a reference application which enables the design of a customized medical records system with no programming knowledge (although medical and systems analysis knowledge is required). It is a common platform upon which medical informatics efforts in developing countries can be built. The system is based on a conceptual database structure which is not dependent on the actual types of medical information required to be collected or on particular data collection forms and so can be customized for different uses.

OpenMRS is now in use around the world (see the OpenMRS Atlas), including South Africa, Kenya, Rwanda, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Uganda, Tanzania, Haiti, India, China,

United States, Pakistan, the Philippines, and many other places. This work is supported in part by many organizations including international and government aid groups, NGO’s, as well as for-profit and nonprofit corporations.

Purpose

As mentioned above openMRS is very popular among the African countries.And it’s a very well known fact that mobile devices are very popular among these countries.Without having mobile responsive UI it’s very hard for users who are using mobile devices to use the application.This is the main influence for the project to be take part on the GSoC’19.
