Open-sourcing openEHR packages

Fri Jun 26 2020

This spring I have adviced a group of four bachelor students in computer science from UiT campus Bodø. The team has worked on machine learning on openEHR data, and as a result have produced a lot of great software.

Two of the packages the team has developed on are openehR and openehpy. These are packages for retrieving data from an openEHR server through its openEHR REST API. Both packages get data from an openEHR REST API, and you can use the pacakges to get data from any system that implements the API. At DIPS, we have used them in a research project to get EHR data to train machine learning models. Today we have open-sourced the packages, and you can find them at github.com/dipsas/openehR and github.com/dipsas/openehpy.
