Webelexis

Taking Elexis to the web

The OpenSource physician's practice software 'Elexis' has become one of the major players in the swiss medical software market. Since its launch in 2005 it grew from a one-man-show to a project, powered by an OpenSource Community, generously led bei Niklaus Giger, and a commercial Company, Medelexis AG.

Webelexis, being primarily a hobby project and a playground for me, tries to develop a new approach to some of the features of Elexis, mainly a web based surface (hence the name 'Webelexis'). At this time, I don't know wether this will go somewhere, but, well, here are the basic ideas:

  • create a user interface based on modern techniques, which should be usable with PC's as well as with mobile devices. (Why?)

  • create a user concept that allows sharing of well defined extracts of the contained sensitive data in a secure manner. (Why?)

  • migrate to a modern distributed NoSQL-Database. (Why?)

  • Allow a soft migration. The user should be able to use the legacy system in parallel. (Why?)

If you'd like to be part of this, you're welcome. If you want to learn more about the software components used in Webelexis, please look here. Probably you would like to check the most important tasks first? Or jump immediately into setting up your build system?
