Hey reddit!
We’re getting ready to release v1.0.0 of Fasten Health!
Just a refresher: 1 year ago I announced Fasten, an open-source, self-hosted, personal/family electronic medical record aggregator (PHR), designed to integrate with 100,000’s of insurances/hospitals & clinics.
It securely connects patient healthcare providers together, creating a personal health record that never leaves the patient’s hands without their consent.
Here’s a couple of screenshots that’ll remind you what it looks like:
I’m thrilled to finally share the roadmap for our much-anticipated Fasten Health Version 1 release!
📋 Key Features and Milestones for Version 1:
-
Database Encryption at Rest:
Security is at the core of Fasten Health. In v1, we’ve implemented robust database encryption at rest, ensuring that your health data is stored with the highest level of protection – protecting your data even as it lives on your own device.
-
Desktop Apps for Mac (and Windows soon):
The Fasten Health for Mac Desktop App is available as a Public Beta! Desktop apps open Fasten Health to a whole new world of users. No longer do you need to be a technologist who knows Docker inside out. This move not only helps us refine our product with diverse feedback but also contributes to the growth of our community. At the same time, it empowers patients by offering them a new app that solves real health-management related problems without compromising their data privacy.
-
Manual Medical Record Entry:
We understand the importance of flexibility in managing your health data. With our upcoming v1 release, you’ll be able to manually enter important aspects of your medical history, including conditions, medications, procedures, lab results, private patient notes and more. This feature ensures that your health record is truly comprehensive and reflective of your unique health journey.

A heartfelt thanks go out to the numerous Github users who’ve contributed and the Reddit/Discord users who’ve discussed & brainstormed with me. As always, your trust and support has been incredibly humbling and keeps me motivated!

Can there be a version of the world where you support Canadian healthcare too?
Yes, I’d love that because I’m Canadian too!
However Canada doesn’t seem to have any public patient-access FHIR API endpoints, they seem to still be under development or restricted to internal testing.
We’re tracking international support on a github issue, and once Canadian APIs become available you’ll definitely see them in Fasten

Bummer.
