Healthcare Open Source Technology Request
Dear Apache Community
I am interested in developing open source software platform for healthcare and need some assistance on the project for consideration in your Incubator hub. My goal is to build open source mobile solutions for doctors and nurses to provider real-time resources to reduce patient harm and improve the science of care delivery.
Is it possible to connect with one of your champions or mentors to help me in the process?
Many thanks for your kind consideration.
Thank you, Kate

Hi Dr
I am also interested in doing the same thing in Africa. Would like to stay
in touch. My project involves building EHR and HIS for clinics, small
private hospitals, various specialists in Namibia and other SADC
countries. The Apache OfBiz ERP/CRM system to handle the logistics side of
things. In-hospital and also for procurement though an outside company
stationed in the Namibia EPZ in Walvis Bay.
The same topic was raised a while ago. They were referred to look at the
http://ctakes.apache.org/ project.
Hope this helps
Regards

I think http://ctakes.apache.org/ is an example of this in the healthcare
vertical.
I'm not sure where you want this conversation to go - anybody is free to
propose project to the incubator. If you see a need and a potential
solution, then I'm sure you could start to build a community around it.

Dear Team
Why: Open source mobile technology is needed to improve the science of healthcare delivery to reduce patient harm, with a specific interest in the 11 areas of all cause harm (Sepsis, CAUTI, VTE, etc.). Medical Errors kill 400,000 patients each year in the US and is the 3rd leading cause of death only preceded by heart disease and cancer. Med Error is a $29 billion dollar problem in the US with unnecessary pain and suffering. Its like 1 jumbo jet crashing each day in death tolls.
About: iCareQuality.us is a start-up firm with innovation labs in the Philadelphia area. Our goal is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare delivery - specifically at the intersection of quality patient safety, clinical performance, health IT. Using an MVP early model, my doctoral work will be featured as Impact Case for Catheter Infection Prevention by the national Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research next month.
Need: iCareQuality.us is seeking strategic hospitals, universities, and industry partners to collaborate on building the next generation of mobile device technology for providers using big data, gamification, just-in-time learning, AI, and machine learning to reduce all cause harm and drive better outcomes in hospitals in the US and globally.
Validation: Using an open source mobile platform, we aim to validate real-time measures of "Nursing value" and "Physician value" in the equation below to reduce all cause harm. My hypothesis is this - with open source technology, we can measure value as leading indicator that impacts patient outcomes in real-time. Currently hospitals measure medical harm data (NDNQI) which is a lagging indicator and done manually with 3 month data delay.

Next Steps: I welcome a call to discuss opportunities further.
Thank you, Kate

Kate,
To add a bit to what Bertrand says, it is likely that there is a bit of a gulf between what Apache expects new communities to be and do and what you might come up with from first principles or raw expectations.
That said, your suggested projects could be really valuable and they might very well fit well in the Apache community of communities. Your call for potential champions is exactly the right first step. A good champion can help you figure out what Apache is and what it is that we do (and don't do).
Bertrand's suggestion that you say a bit more about what you are doing and want to do is spot on. That is how you get people excited.

Many potential champions and mentors are reading this list, the best
way to raise their attention might be to give some more information
about your software, ideally pointers to existing code.
The Incubator is usually not keen on accepting projects for incubation
without an initial codebase and a (minimal maybe) community, so if you
can point us to those it might help raise interest.
