Normogen

Overview

Normogen is a privacy-focused health data tracking and management platform. The name comes from Mapudungun, relating to "Balanced Life."

Vision

To record as many variables related to health as possible, store them in a secure, private manner, to be used by you, not by corporations. From medication reminders to pattern analysis, Normogen puts you in control of your health data.

Key Features

Core Functionality

  • 🔐 Zero-knowledge encryption - Your data is encrypted before it reaches the server
  • 👥 Multi-person profiles - Track health data for yourself, children, elderly family members
  • 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family structure - Manage family health records in one place
  • 🔗 Secure sharing - Share specific data via expiring links with embedded passwords
  • 📱 Mobile apps - iOS and Android with health sensor integration
  • 🌐 Web interface - Access from any device

Health Data Tracking

  • Lab results storage
  • Medication tracking (dosage, schedules, composition)
  • Health statistics (weight, height, trends)
  • Medical appointments
  • Regular checkups
  • Period tracking
  • Pregnancy tracking
  • Dental information
  • Illness records
  • Phone sensor data (steps, activity, sleep, blood pressure, temperature)

Architecture

Technology Stack

  • Backend API: Rust
  • Web Server: Node.js
  • Database: MongoDB (with zero-knowledge encryption)
  • Frontend: Web + iOS + Android
  • Deployment: Docker on Linux

Security Model

  • Client-side encryption: Data encrypted before leaving the device
  • Zero-knowledge: Server stores only encrypted data
  • Proton-style encryption: AES-256-GCM with PBKDF2 key derivation
  • Shareable links: Self-contained decryption keys in URLs
  • Privacy-first: No data selling, subscription-based revenue

Documentation

Development Status

🚧 Current Phase: Planning/Documentation

Completed

  • Project vision and requirements
  • Security architecture design
  • Encryption implementation guide
  • Feature specifications
  • Git repository initialization

Next Steps

  • Select Rust framework (Actix, Axum, Rocket?)
  • Design database schema
  • Implement authentication system
  • Build CRUD API
  • Create web frontend
  • Add encryption layer
  • Implement sharing functionality

Open Source

Normogen is open-source. Both server and client code will be publicly available.

License
