Fasten - On Premise/Self-Hosted

Fasten securely connects your healthcare providers together, creating a personal health record that never leaves your hands

NOTE: Fasten is a Work-in-Progress and can only communicate with a limited number of Healthcare Instutions (approx 2000 at last count). Please fill out this Google Form if you'd like to be kept up-to-date on Fasten

Introduction

Like many of you, I've worked for many companies over my career. In that time, I've had multiple health, vision and dental insurance providers, and visited many different clinics, hospitals and labs to get procedures & tests done.

Recently I had a semi-serious medical issue, and I realized that my medical history (and the medical history of my family members) is a lot more complicated than I realized and distributed across the many healthcare providers I've used over the years. I wanted a single (private) location to store our medical records, and I just couldn't find any software that worked as I'd like:

• self-hosted/offline - this is my medical history, I'm not willing to give it to some random multi-national corporation to data-mine and sell
• It should aggregate my data from multiple healthcare providers (insurance companies, hospital networks, clinics, labs) across multiple industries (vision, dental, medical) -- all in one dashboard
• automatic - it should pull my EMR (electronic medical record) directly from my insurance provider/clinic/hospital network - I dont want to scan/OCR physical documents (unless I have to)
• open source - the code should be available for contributions & auditing

So, I built it

Fasten is an open-source, self-hosted, personal/family electronic medical record aggregator, designed to integrate with 1000's of insurances/hospitals/clinics

Here's a couple of screenshots that'll give you an idea of what it looks like:

Features

It's pretty basic right now, but it's designed with a easily extensible core around a solid foundation:

• Self-hosted
• Designed for families, not Clinics (unlike OpenEMR and other popular EMR systems)
• Supports the Medical industry's (semi-standard) FHIR protocol
• Uses OAuth2 (Smart-on-FHIR) authentication (no passwords necessary)
• Uses OAuth's offline_access scope (where possible) to automatically pull changes/updates
• Multi-user support for household/family use
• (Future) Dashboards & tracking for diagnostic tests
• (Future) Integration with smart-devices & wearables

Getting Started

There are 2 flavors of Fasten:

• ghcr.io/fastenhealth/fasten-onprem:sandbox - This version only allows you to connect to a handful of Healthcare providers, using Sandbox accounts that are meant for testing, and contain synthetic(fake) data to give you an idea what Fasten will look like, without requiring personal medical information.
• ghcr.io/fastenhealth/fasten-onprem:main - This version allows you to connect to 650+ different Healthcare providers, using your existing accounts. It will allow you to connect and retrieve your personal electronic medical record and store it within Fasten. Be careful, this is YOUR health data

Instructions

Run the following commands to download and start the Fasten docker container.

docker pull ghcr.io/fastenhealth/fasten-onprem:main 
docker run --rm -p 9090:8080 ghcr.io/fastenhealth/fasten-onprem:main 

Next, open a browser to http://localhost:9090

At this point you'll be redirected to the login page.

Logging In

Before you can use the Fasten BETA, you'll need to Create an Account.

It can be as simple as

• Username: testuser
• Password: testuser

Usage

If you're using the sandbox version of Fasten, you'll only be able to connect to Sources using test credentials https://github.com/fastenhealth/docs/blob/main/BETA.md#connecting-a-new-source
