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

Introduction - Project vision and detailed feature specification
Encryption Implementation Guide - Zero-knowledge encryption architecture
Research - Technical research and planning documents

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.
