Normogen
Naming
Codename, coming from mapudungun, related to Balanced Life. Commercial name to be defined
Purpose
To record as many variables related to health as possible, store them in a secure, private manner, to be used by the user, not by corporations. From there, use the data to help the user, not for profit. From reminding about medication, to comparing data changes over time, and finding emerging patterns.
Income
It will come from subscriptions from users, not from using the data. Even if open-source, the architecture is complicated enough that users will want to pay a subscription rather than setting it all up themselves. And the bugfixing coming from open-source users should offset the lost income.
Architecture
Client-server architecture, server running on linux docker, clients via web or phone apps (iOS and Android)
Rust for the server backend. Nodejs for web server. Clients will be on whatever is best for each platform, which can reuse the web when possible.
Data has to be encrypted on storage, only accessible to the user, on the server and on the phone apps. It is important to be able to share specific bits of data with external users. (at first, accessed by an expiring link). Therefore, the encryption has to be made in a way that a limited password can access some of the data.
It will be open-sourced, both server and clients.
Plugins
Mostly for import and export of data
Application Features
User structure
- User login
- Person, which may not be the logged in user. eg. recording data of a child
- Family structure (eg. parents, children, elderly under care, etc.)
General
- Lab results storage
- Medication
- Pill shape
- Length of take
- Timetable
- Drug composition
- General health statistics, such as weight over time, height, age
- Medical appointments
- Regular checkouts
- Period tracking
- Pregnancy
- Dental information
- Illness records
Phone app
- Pill reminder
- QR code reader, for access to lab results and others
- Health statistics from the phone and connected devices, such as:
- steps
- physical activity
- Breathing
- Sleep patterns
- Blood pressure
- Temperature, etc
- Sync back to the main server at regular intervals
- Instant nuke option, to delete all data instantly (for privacy)
Lab Results
Lab results are not standard format, so there must be a plugin structure that allows to convert data from specific labs
Sensors
Most sensors will have a common interface or data will be accessable through the phone's Health API, but there might be cases where a plugin to convert data is needed
