What MedBrains is
MedBrains is software that runs a whole hospital: registration, OPD, wards, pharmacy, lab, radiology, billing, HR and the reports management needs. One record follows each patient through every department.
What it is built to be
- Cheap by design. The software is free under the Apache 2.0 licence: no licence fee and no per-user fee. It runs a full hospital on one small server.
- Top quality. Safety rules such as drug interaction checks, allergy checks and controlled-drug registers are enforced by the server, not left to the screen. Every change and every look at a record is audited.
- Out of the box. The MedBrains OS box sets itself up on its own screen, with no command line. Staff, roles and modules are set up from the admin screens.
- Works on any OS. Use it in a browser on Windows, macOS or Linux, in the desktop app, on iPhone and Android, and on TV boards in the waiting area.
- Regulator-ready. Built for ABDM (ABHA, record linking and consented exchange), NABH quality indicators, the DPDP Act, NDPS and Schedule H/H1/X drug rules, and CERT-In logging and time-keeping.
- Creates local jobs. Because the code is public, local IT teams and firms can install, support and extend it for the hospitals near them.
