Carebuntu - developing a free open source operating system for Healthcare
At the moment healthcare in the UK is much too dependent on closed-source software, stretching from the operating systems (usually various flavours of Microsoft Windows, each with their own issues) to the individual software platforms and applications that staff and patients access to carry out their roles. Carebuntu.org exists to provide an alternative for healthcare organisations - a way to leverage the power and security of Open Source Software, as well as the energy, innovation and inventiveness of the community - in delivering services and functionality to health systems. Our work is just beginning.
