In 2014, a small, global team of JavaScript developers [working within an NGO] began to leverage technologies like
Ember,
Node.js, and
Electron as well as concepts like offline-first to offer free, easy-to-use, open source software for developing world healthcare. The result is
HospitalRun, a recently added member project to the
JS Foundation. Through the genesis of the project, the objectives that bind the community, and the impact goals and achievements thus far, consider how open source projects like HospitalRun could drive world-changing technology and human impact from the bottom up.
