Hi everyone. Happy to see my posting caught some attention (nice start to my lunch break!).
Obviously, our team is asking for badly needed donations to support our work (primarily for poor locale users), but we're always looking for volunteers, as Brady pointed out. I am a serial HN reader and have learned that folks love React (and Vue) here. If there are any React (or Vue) gurus interested in volunteering, we'd love to get our UI at parity with modern web standards. I can definitely say that volunteering on this project is great for technical reasons as well as getting to meet grateful users from all over the world.
I noticed there's some healthy discussion here around US healthcare/open source usage and I ask you to consider that very modern and developed countries such as the US, UK, etc, etc have the money for EMRs and a more-or-less reasonable gov't that offers up regulations and incentives to get rid of paper. This is simply _not_ the case in many parts of the world. Therefore, I ask you to consider that without medical open source solutions (not just limited to OpenEMR), most are stuck on paper!
NOTE/UPDATE: John, our data scientist on the project, posted on here about his AWS efforts (seen below). He's never used HN and is having a hard time editing his post. `:%s/Trial/Tier` is what he's getting at... we have put together a very low cost (AWS free tier) solution for folks in low resource areas as well universities looking to teach with a modern EMR without the big price tag!
