A web framework for building highly usable healthcare applications.

Opal

Opal is a full stack web framework that makes building digital tools for health care easy.

It builds on established open source technologies with a track record of helping developers build easy to maintain, robust applications.

Most notably, it makes use of Django, AngularJS and Bootstrap.

From there, Opal provides you with a common batteries-included architecture for writing healthcare applications, and a composable modular framework that takes advantage of generic, re-usable components.

Opal is entirely open (source & governance) as are the wide library of plugins.

Opal was created by Open Health Care UK, because it makes Healthcare IT Less Bad.

We'd love you to get involved by using what we make, reporting bugs/suggesting improvements, and fixing bugs/updating documentation/making improvements.
