Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

The system uses a clinic laptop or local server as its host, then serves browser-based stations across the facility's LAN. Its example chart combines identity, allergy warnings, current vitals, and a running visit note, while the workflow moves patients through intake, consultation, and pharmacy. The stated implementation uses Drupal with PHP and MySQL/MariaDB, and the project provides a DDEV configuration for local development. The homepage identifies the license as GPL-2.0 and links to documentation, issues, and contributions.
