Raspberry Pi Gets Open-Source Healthcare Management App

GNU Health is leading the way when it comes to open-source health management platforms. The team recently expanded its  support to include GNU Health Embedded images for the Raspberry Pi 3 and Raspberry Pi 4.

As spotted by CNX Software, GNU Health Embedded is a full server package complete with its own database. Users can access data on the Pi locally instead of relying on a network. The Raspberry Pi is a low-resource option, making it ideal for small-scale deployment in local offices.

By combining the app with a Raspberry Pi and display, vital signs are compiled and displayed on a screen real-time.  The app can also retrieve records, interact with laboratory instruments and even operate as a personal health tracker.
