Medplum
The open-source, API-first EHR.
Overview
Medplum is an open-source, API-first platform designed to help developers build healthcare applications faster. It provides a backend-as-a-service (BaaS) that includes a FHIR server, user management, access controls, and a React component library. This allows developers to focus on the user experience of their applications rather than building and maintaining complex backend infrastructure.
