Tolven Healthcare Innovations has ready to run open source healthcare apps

February 15, 2007

Check out Tolven Healthcare Innovations — they’ve got this open source software (language from their website):

  • An electronic Personal Health Record solution (ePHR) that will enable consumers to record and selectively share healthcare information about themselves and their loved ones in a secure manner.
  • An electronic Clinician Health Record solution (eCHR) that enables physicians and other healthcare providers to securely access healthcare information collated from any number of trusted sources relating to an individual patient in a structured and easily accessible way.
  • A healthcare informatics platform that enables all healthcare data to be stored and accessed via the ePHR and eCHR solutions. The platform is based on industry standard technologies and data models.

The software was a little hard to install (a few major prerequisites like Postgres, OpenLDAP) so I didn’t have time to try it out today but plan on getting to it soon. Meanwhile, if the guys from Tolven are listening, please consider creating a VMware image that will run in VMware Player so it’s just a “download and go” trial. Tolven engineers — drop me a note if you need some help with the database schema, I’ve done many db reviews and would be happy to get involved.

  • What are your views on the healthcare industry in the middle east, are they moving in the right direction in converting thier clinics to e-clinics

    I think it is still premature. Is there any customer who is using this product in production?
  • I heard that "Electronic Personal Health Record" is very effective one. Thanks for the valuable information - Prakash Arige
