GNU Health is a free/libre health and hospital information system[2] with strong focus on public health and social medicine. Its functionality includes management of electronic health records and laboratory information management system.[3]
It is designed to be multi-platform, supporting Linux distributions and FreeBSD on the server side. It uses PostgreSQL as its database engine. It is written in Python and uses the Tryton framework as one of its components.
