The inspiration

Shameem C Hameed, Founder & CEO: Back in 2008 when I needed a practice management software for my RCM business I was appalled by the cost and quality of available products. More so because I had cofounded a Hospital Management Software company in India in 1989, and I was aware that these solutions could be more economical. I also became aware that digital health and EHR implementations had become so cost prohibitive that it ran many hospitals and practices to the ground. Someone had to do something, and my brother, Shahzad, and I decided that we were that someone. So we decided to write, for free, open-source code for OpenEMR. We soon became consultants to organizations needing unique and differentiated digital health applications that weren’t supported by standard solutions. However, we found that open source solutions still needed a lot of work like infrastructure, upgrade, development, maintenance and other support. And owning the IP in open source was difficult.

The outcome

It became clear to us that neither open source nor standard systems were the solutions to bring down costs or empower innovation. The holy grail is the reduction of implementation and development costs. So we decided to build a digital health platform that would be self-contained with everything that one would need to develop digital health solutions. A DevOps platform for digital health that would make development easy with low code, no code, has a variety of prebuilt digital health components, integrated with the health ecosystem, and sitting on a secure and scalable cloud environment is what we envisioned.

Such a digital health platform would lower costs and focus innovation. That idea became blueBriX, the building blocks for digital health. However, blueBriX is just the tool. We also needed to educate and inspire the creators of digital health. That became the “Ideas in digital health” series. And our entire organization is always there to support such innovators.
