Medplum

Open source developer platform for building healthcare applications.

Visit Medplum

Medplum is an open source, API-first developer platform for building clinical and healthcare software. It addresses the complexity of healthcare data and workflows by providing a FHIR-native data store, authentication, access control, and automation as shared foundations, so teams can build custom applications without assembling these primitives themselves. The core technology is Apache 2.0 licensed and available on GitHub, and the platform can be used as a cloud-hosted service or self-hosted.

The platform includes a FHIR Data Store and API with REST, GraphQL, and hosted terminology, a TypeScript/JavaScript SDK, a React component library, Bots for automated workflows, and Subscriptions for real-time notifications. Auth supports OAuth2, OpenID Connect, SMART on FHIR, and MFA, with fine-grained AccessPolicy-based control, multi-tenancy, and audit logging. Medplum Agent connects on-premise HL7v2 and DICOM systems to the cloud. Pre-built apps include Medplum Provider, an open source EHR shell covering charting, orders, messaging, and scheduling, and Medplum App, an admin and developer console; both can be forked or used as references. Capabilities span intake, scheduling, charting, diagnostic orders, medications, care coordination, messaging, and billing.

Medplum is aimed at developers and teams building custom EHRs, patient engagement tools, care management, population health, and revenue cycle applications. It is packaged as a hosted platform or self-hosted deployment, with the core available under an open source license; pricing details are covered on a separate pricing page.
