An open-source gateway between bedside medical devices and the hospital's EHR. Infusion pumps first, built to take ventilators and other devices next. Free to use, change and ship.
The source, the guides and the install steps. Apache 2.0: use it, change it, ship it. No fees, no royalties, no permission needed.
Open the repositoryA live status page from the running gateway: the simulated pump, and every HL7 message it sends to the stand-in EHR. On a free server, so the first visit can take a minute while it wakes.
Watch it runThe cloud gateway feeding pump state beside an Oracle Health chart, and the reasoning over both.
See it in useEvery infusion pump that reports to an EHR does it through its manufacturer's own gateway: years of work, sold with the pump, closed, and each one different. The EHR half of the problem has a standard door now. The device half has none.
My reason is a selfish one. A reasoning engine is only as good as what it can see, and IV infusions are where the drug actually enters the patient. So I am opening the device half for everyone, me included. OpenBedside contains no AI MedAgent code and no clinical reasoning. It is plumbing, and AI MedAgent is one possible consumer of it, not a required one.
