The inspiration
In 1989 I had co-founded a hospital management software(HMS) company in India. When I came to the US the cost of digital health software shocked me. Someone had to do something, and we decided that we were that someone. So we decided to write open-source software for OpenEMR. We soon became consultants to organizations needing unique and different permutations of digital health that were not being met by standard solutions. However we found that open source solutions still needed infrastructure, upgrade, development, maintenance and other support. And owning the IP in open source was difficult.
The outcome
It became clear to us that a cloud-based low code no code digital health application development tool was the need of the hour. Such an application would lower the cost, allow and focus innovation, while we took care of the house keeping and maintenance. 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 Worth Pitching" series. And our entire organization is alway there to support such innovators.
