OpenCare: Interoperable Hospital Ecosystem

OpenCare is a full-stack healthcare coordination platform designed to modernize hospital operations by replacing fragmented and manual communication patterns with a unified digital workflow.

The system focuses on critical, real-world hospital needs including real-time patient monitoring, structured communication between care teams, medication accountability, and transparent administrative oversight.

Built using Flutter for cross-device access, FastAPI for secure and scalable REST APIs, and PostgreSQL for reliable data management, the platform supports both rapid deployment and long-term maintainability.

OpenCare is particularly effective in high-intensity environments like ICUs, where response time, data accuracy, and staff coordination directly impact patient outcomes. Nurses can update patient vitals at the bedside, doctors receive near real-time updates, and administrators gain centralized operational visibility.

By integrating structured data capture, role-based interfaces, and coordinated workflows, OpenCare helps improve patient safety, reduce delays, and enhance healthcare delivery consistency.
