Upgrading from GNU Health 4.2
The GNUHealth 4.4 will benefit from the stability of using Tryton 6.0! Still, at GH level there are significant changes on the data dictionary and kernel.
As usual:
Make a FULL BACKUP your kernel, database and attach directories !!
Follow the instructions in the manual / Wikibooks
Development focus
In addition of the GH HMIS server, we will focus the development in the following areas of the GNU Health ecosystem:
The Documentation Portal: It’s now a reality! Little by little we are integrating the information on https://docs.gnuhealth.org . We now have a dedicated server that will host the documentation for the GNUHealth ecosystem components. The docmentation portal is a read-only resource, focusing on stability and quality. Wikibooks will work as the great community wiki that has been helping us for over a decade. Wikibooks will also work for development discussion and host the latest screenshots at Wikimedia commons.
MyGNUHealth: The GNU Health Personal Health Record app for desktop and mobile devices is now at 2.0 and on Kivy framework! We can now port it to different platforms (Android, MacOS, ..) using pretty much the same codebase.
Thalamus and the Federation Portal. The GNU Health Federation integrates information from many health institutions and individuals from a region or country. The GH Federation portal will allow to manage resources, as well as the main point for analytics and reporting of massive demographics and epidemiological data generated nationwide. People, health centers and research institutions will benefit from the GNU Health Federation and the GNU Health ecosystem in general.
As always, no matter how hard we try to avoid them, there will be bugs, so please test the new system, upgrade process, languages, and give us your feedback via them via health@gnu.org
The community server has been already migrated to 4.4.0, so you just need to download the GNU Health HMIS client.
Happy and Healthy Hacking! Luis

4.2.0
2023/02/11
Dear community:
I am excited to announce the release of series 4.2 from the GNU Health Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) component!
The 4.2 series is the result of one year of work and cooperation with the community. Many new exciting features are included, bugs fixed and new translations are now in place.
What is new in GNUHealth Hospital Management 4.2 series
The following is a summary of the main new features included in GH 4.2:
Enhanced Medical Imaging functionality and ergonomics.
Introduced GNU Health “Focus on” section on patient main form. Key health indicators that put our attention on the patient main health conditions. The main indicators are Cardiovascular (excl hbp), HBP, Nutrition, Cognitive, Social, Cancer and Immuno.
Surgery package has been vastly revised and enhanced. Thanks to the collaboration with our colleagues from Cirugia Solidaria, the surgery package is now being used in thousands of operations and all the new functionality is available in this 4.2.
Enhanced Insurance and billing functionality. Now, in one view we can integrate all product policies from a particular insurance company plan. The 4.2 release also allows to include a fixed prices on product or category.
The Vital Record System (VRS) can now issue reports on birth and death certificates.
Demographics can now accept entering estimate age / DoB.
Health services has now the functionality of “grouping” all the tests from a single order - lab and medical imaging -. It allows automatically updating the service document directly right from the request order wizard. There a new “ungroup” checkbox that, when set, it will behave as today, ie, giving the option to the manager.
Improved Patient encounter / evaluation. Medical interventions, DDx and secondary conditions. A new report is now available that summarizes the key information from the evaluation.
Weblate translations holds 35 languages!
Instance and connection information visible at the GTK client title
On the technical side, we have improved unit testing on each package, speedup load times on large datafiles and using python-sql for most queries.
Last but not least…. GNU Health is now REUSE (Free Software Foundation Europe) compliant! This is a great step forward, since REUSE facilitates documenting and sharing licenses of Libre projects like GNU Health. It’s been quite a bit of work, but definitely worth!
Upgrading from GNU Health 4.0
The GNUHealth 4.2 will benefit from the stability of using Tryton 6.0! Still, at GH level there are significant changes on the data dictionary and kernel.
As usual:
Make a FULL BACKUP your kernel, database and attach directories !!!
Follow the instructions on the Wikibooks.
Development focus
In addition of the GH HMIS server, we will focus the development in the following areas of the GNU Health ecosystem:
The Documentation Portal. We now have a dedicated server that will host the documentation for the GNUHealth ecosystem components. The docmentation portal is a read-only resource, focusing on stability and high-quality. We will also keep using Wikibooks as a community wiki, as well as development.
MyGNUHealth: The GNU Health app for desktop and mobile devices
Thalamus and the Federation Portal. The GNU Health Federation integrates information from many health institutions and individuals from a region or country. The GH Federation portal will allow to manage resources, as well as the main point for analytics and reporting of massive demographics and epidemiological data generated nationwide. People, health centers and research institutions will benefit from the GNU Health Federation and the GNU Health ecosystem in general.

Versions 3.x.x
3.8.0
2021/02/14
Dear community:
I am very proud to announce the release of the series 3.8 from the GNU Health Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) component!
Twelve years old, the GNU Health project has now become a Libre digital Health ecosystem, with different solutions to meet different realities, integrating them in the Federation.
The year 2020, the year of the COVID-19 pandemic, has put our societies against the ropes, and challenging the public health system of every country around the globe. The GNU Health community responded swiftly to this formidable challenge. Within hours of the official World Health Organization announcement, we were able to deliver the new ICD-10 codes of the COVID-19 disease; Include the pathology in the person record when it was confirmed by laboratory and setting the disease as a notifiable disease so the Min. of Health could have uptodate epidemiological information.
GNU Health has played a crucial role in many public health systems, not only by providing real-time observatory of COVID-19, but also, very importantly, study the impact of the socioeconomic conditions in both the incidence and severity of the disease on the underprivileged.
Our community keeps growing! A notable example is that GNU Health is now also part of the KDE community! KDE has adopted MyGNUHealth, the GH Personal Health record. We are very grateful to KDE for trusting us! Most GNU/Linux users will have in their favorite GNU/Linux distribution a Personal Health Record focused on privacy and integrated with Libre devices and trackers. MyGNUHealth also runs on the PinePhone!
What is new in GNU Health 3.8 series
New Dentistry package with odontogram and dental procedures
Enhanced Page of Life generation (PoL)
Use FODT (Flat ODT) format for reports
Integrated infectious diseases Contact Tracing
Epidemiological observatory
International Classification of diseases, 11th revision (ICD-11)
Improved integration with Weblate (now 23 languages!)
Updated the UNIPROT protein natural variants DB from 2020
The HL7 FHIR server is now ported to Python3
New repositories for the components (HMIS, client, plugins, Thalamus…)
Development focus
In addition of the GH HMIS server, we will focus the development in the following areas of the GNU Health ecosystem:
MyGNUHealth: The GNU Health application for desktop and mobile devices
The GNU Health Federation Portal
The GH Federation Portal has already started. It is a VueJS application and provides a single point of entry for individuals, health professionals and epidemiologists to the GNU Health Information system.
The GNU Health Federation integrates information from many health institutions and people from a region or country. The GH Federation portal will allow to manage resources, as well as the main point for analytics and reporting of massive demographics and epidemiological data generated nationwide. People, health centers and research institutions can benefit from the GNU Health Federation and from the GNU Health ecosystem in general.
Upgrading from GNU Health 3.6
Make a FULL BACKUP your kernel, database and attach directories !!!
Follow the instructions on the Wikibooks.
As always, no matter how hard we try to avoid them, there will be bugs, so please test the new system, upgrade process, languages, and give us your feedback via them via health@gnu.org
The community server has been already migrated to 3.8.0, so you just need to download the GNU Health HMIS client and enjoy it.
Free Software day
Finally, today is the Free Software day. We have chosen this date as the release date of the GH HMIS component, as a way to remind and stress the importance of Libre Software and Open Science in our society.
Happy and Healthy Hacking !
0.9b3 (HL7 FHIR)
2020/11/04
Dear GH community
The FHIR REST server 0.9b3 is out! This new version is Python3 compatible and can interact with the GNU Health HMIS node => 3.6
The FHIR server is a Flask application, that generates HL7 FHIR messages to a number of resources in the GNU Health Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) node .
This Reversion is the continuation of the great work done by Chris Zimmerman for Python2 and older GH instances.
The current resources are now being implemented are:
Conformance: Describes the server’s FHIR capabilities.
Patient: Patient demographic information, like email, address, SSN, etc.
DiagnosticReport: Completed lab tests, but not the data
Observation: Lab data, like uric acid values
Practitioner: Health professionals and their information
Procedure: Surgeries/operations
Condition: Diseases/diagnoses
FamilyHistory: Family histories of patients
Medication: Medications (not prescriptions!)
MedicationStatement: Medications taken by a patient
Immunization: Immunizations
Organization: Institutions, departments, companies, etc.
This is still a beta version. We plan to add write support in the near future.
The server is now shipped as a Python package and hosted at PyPI (https://pypi.org/project/gnuhealth-fhir-server/). It also provides two scripts to run it via Tornado or Gunicorn WSGI servers.
The latest documentation about the FHIR REST server can be found at Wikibooks (https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GNU_Health/Using_the_FHIR_REST_server)
We have also created an instance at the GH Federation community server, so you can try it out without the need of installing it.
The HL7 provides yet another means to interact with GNU Health HMIS nodes from other systems, besides the current existing methods that are in place.
Best Luis

2019/11/10
Dear community:
I am very proud to announce the release of the GNU Health 3.6 series !
This version is the result of many developments and integration of ideas from the community.
We are now 11 years old. We should all be very proud because not only we have built the best Libre Health and Hospital Information System, but we have created a strong, committed and friendly international community around it.
What is new in GNU Health 3.6 series:
Both GNU Health client and server are now in Python3
Remove Python2 support
GH HMIS server uses Tryton 5.0 LTS kernel (5 year support)
Client is based on Tryton GTK client 5.2

Upgrading from GNU Health 3.4:
Make a FULL BACKUP your kernel, database and attach directories !!!
Follow the instructions on the Wikibooks
Read specific instructions found under scripts/upgrade/3.6 of the main source installation tarball, an apply the scripts in the specified order.
Development focus
In addition of the GH HMIS server, we will focus the development in the following areas of the GNU Health ecosystem:
The GNU Health Federation Portal
The mobile client
Interoperability
The GH Federation Portal has already started. It is a VueJS application and provides a single point of entry for individuals, health professionals and epidemiologists to the GNU Health Information system.
The GNU Health Federation now receives information coming from many health institutions and people from a region or country. The GH Federation portal will allow to manage resources, as well as the main point for analytics and reporting of massive amount of demographics health data generated nationwide. People, health centers and research institutions (eg genomics already can enjoy the benefits from the GNU Health Federation.
The mobile client (MyGNUHealth) development will remain in QT and will be focus on KDE plasma mobile technology, and run in Libre mobile operating systems and devices (such as Pine64). We need fully libre mobile devices if we want to preserve privacy in healthcare.
As far as Interoperability goes, GNU Health is now very interoperable. It uses open coding standards, as well as open formats (XML, JSON, .. ) to exchange messages. We currently have support for read operations in HL7 FHIR for a number of resources. Needless to say, we are open to other open standard communities that are willing to integrate to GNU Health.
Last but not least….no matter how hard we try to avoid them, there will be bugs, so please test the new system, upgrade process, languages, and give us your feedback via them via health@gnu.org
Happy and Healthy Hacking !

It’s been over a year of hard work, integrating the latest in technology and Social Medicine into GNU Health.
This versions incorporates many cool features, some of them are :
The GNU Health Federation model
Thalamus message server
New Health Information System (on MongoDB)
Person Master Index
MongoDB support (on the HIS)
Updated UniprotKB database with over 30K protein natural variants
Contextualized information on genetics and social determinants
Genetic and family history and environmental factors integrated to the Page of Life and Federation
The GNU Health Book of Life
Tryton 4.6 integration on the HMIS node
All GNU Health packages are natively in Python 3
Enhanced support for Calendar and WebDAV system
GNU LIMS improvements in views
Pypi packages with our own name (“gnuhealth-<package>”)
Native client has a command line interface
Over 30 new commands for the main daily tasks
Enhanced GNU Health camera plugin, including zoom
Activity Log window on the client
SYSINFO command to retrieve the information about client and server
Customize the banner on the client
Reports are generated now in PDF format
The GNU Health Federation
The GNU Health Federation (aka, The Federation) is here ! This is revolutionary and ground breaking. With the Federation, we will be able to integrate heterogeneous systems and build large regional and national health networks. No more data isolation. No more silos. The GNU Health Federation is a great tool for the people, health practitioners, research institutions and public health systems.
Relevant demographics and medical information will be up-to-date, no matter where the person and patient visits. It is great tool for early detection on epidemics, improving the health promotion and disease prevention campaigns.
I am also optimist about the role of the Federation in integrative anc precision medicine. It combines Nature and Nurture, and can shed light on the diagnostic and therapeutics of devastating and elusive genetic diseases, cancer and autoimmune disorders.
The GNU Health Federation components (eg, Thalamus), will have their own development process, so they can be integrated with each of the other GNU Health projects without blocking each other.
This journey is just starting, but I trust that, as a community, we’ll be able to tackle today and future issues in health.
Derivative languages / translations
GNU Health takes the approach of derivative languages, which will simplify the localization effort. Basically, for languages who have many strings in common, will only have to work on those strings that differ from a main source. Let’s take the example of Spanish. The new approach will work in the following way: * One source language “es” * Many derivative / regional languages (es_ES, es_AR, es_PE, es_VE … ).
Until now, each derivative language had, except the local terminology, the same strings as the source. That makes localization harder to maintain,and larger in size. The new method allow the translators to focus on the main source language, greatly improving the quality of the translation, and without duplication.
Please make sure that you focus on the generic language first, and only add local terms in the derivative language.
Summary of Upgrade steps:
Make a FULL BACKUP your kernel, database and attach directories !!!
Follow the instructions on the Wikibooks.
Apply the SQL script “upgrade_34.sql” found under scripts/upgrade/3.4 of the main source installation tarball.
Upgrade the instance
Last but not least….oo matter how hard we try to avoid them, there will be bugs, so please test the new system, upgrade process, languages, … and please report them via health@gnu.org
Enjoy Freedom in Healthcare !

2017/07/01
Dear community
I am proud to announce the release of GNU Health 3.2 series !
It’s been over a year of hard work, integrating the latest in technology and Social Medicine into GNU Health.
This versions incorporates many cool features, some of them are :
Tryton 4.2 integration
All GNU Health packages are now written in Python 3
Enhanced support for Calendar and WebDAV system
Updated Crypto packages
Link lab orders with health services
Better language and localization, that optimizes translation for regional languages
Add code39 to lab tests
Include the Domicilary Unit address in the main person information
Improved gnuhealth-setup and gnuhealth-control programs
Patient, Medicament and Services can now be activated / deactivated
New Modules:
health_ems : Emergency and Ambulances Management
health_insurance : Insurance management and pricelists
health_genetics_uniprot : Uniprot DB for thousands of genetic natural variants and phenotypes
health_crypto_lab : Digital signatures for lab orders
health_services_lab : Integrate lab orders into services
The GNU Health Federation
In addition to all these new features and enhancements, probably the most revolutionary and exciting feature of the GNU Health project at this time is the GNU Health Federation.
The GNU Health Federation goal is to make a distributed network of multiple, heterogeneous nodes. The main components are :
The GNU Health Information System (on MongoDB)
The GNU Health Thalamus (Message and Authentication Server). See https://pypi.python.org/pypi/thalamus/0.0.6
The participating nodes : GNU Health HMIS, mobile applications, research centers, etcetera.
The GNU Health Federation will produce more quality information and at a better pace. It will also separate the traditional GNU Health HMIS transactional and operational model, from the analytic model that will be taken by the GNU Health Information System on a document database (MongoDB).
The GNU Health Federation, the Health Information System will also provide a unique ID and unique history per person. No data isolation, and no data duplication. The demographics and medical history of people will updated in realtime, and people will be able to go from one center to the other in the region or country, knowing that all the relevant information will be at timely updated in any center she or he visits.
The GNU Health Federation components (eg, Thalamus), will have their own development process, so they can be integrated with each of the other GNU Health projects without blocking each other.
GNU Health 3.2 will be the first release where we could start focusing on the GNU Health Information
New model for translations
GNU Health takes the approach of derivative languages, which will simplify the localization effort. Basically, for languages who have many strings in common, will only have to work on those strings that differ from a main source. Let’s take the example of Spanish. The new approach will work in the following way: * One source language “es” * Many derivative / regional languages (es_ES, es_AR, es_PE, es_VE … ).
Until now, each derivative language had, except the local terminology, the same strings as the source. That makes localization harder to maintain, and larger in size. The new method allow the translators to focus on the main source language, greatly improving the quality of the translation, and without uplication.

Make a full backup your kernel, database and attach directories !
Follow the instructions on the Wikibooks.
Upgrade the instance
Apply the SQL script “upgrade_32.sql” found under scripts/upgrade/3.2 of the main source installation tarball.
No matter how hard we try to avoid issues, there will be bugs, so please test the new system, upgrade process, languages, … and please report them via health@gnu.org

Versions 1.x.x
1.8.0
2013/02/20
It’s been a couple of weeks since the release of GNU Health series 1.8, and we’re thrilled on the evolution of the system, and its adoption by the community.
This latest series is compatible with Tryton 2.6 and has many improvements, in the core and reporting modules, among others. As usual, the migration from previous versions are included.
The other good news is that, being compatible with Tryton 2.6 allows the connection from mobile devices with the Android Operating System . Thanks to the great Tryton development framework, and to the fantastic job done by SCIL in the development of the Android client for Tryton, GNU Health servers can now be accessed directly from your mobile device.
You can find the Android client on Google Play . For the development process, check the SCIL page .
There are more good news on the way. The web client is also around the corner, and we will have 3 different ways to connect to GNU Health. From the standard GTK interface, the Android client, or your web browser.
Make sure you upgrade your database to the latest GNU Health version. The upgrade scripts and the instructions are always incorporated in the new version. The upgrade process is an integral part of GNU Health and, of course, it’s completely free.
e-Health for all !
