Tech Stack

The OpenPHL Technology Stack

OpenPHL is a digital public good (DPG) built upon the MOSIP Connect framework. The platform is engineered using a modern microservice architecture designed for high availability and modularity, allowing it to operate independently and scale rapidly to meet healthcare needs.

 

Core Foundational Technologies

Our technology stack leverages cutting-edge, open-source tools to ensure maximum scalability, security, and transparency:

  • MOSIP Connect: Serves as the core digital identity platform, providing foundational verifiable credentials and robust authentication.
  • Open APIs: Used to facilitate the seamless integration of OpenPHL with existing health information systems.
  • Advanced Encryption: Ensures total data privacy and maintains strict compliance with GDPR and other global regulations.
  • Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT): Utilized for tamper-proof record-keeping and creating secure, auditable consent logs.

Unified Health Informatics

OpenPHL combines powerful informatic tools to create a comprehensive Unified Digital Health Identity:

  • Master Patient Index (MPI): A centralized database that uniquely identifies every patient across all connected systems to ensure records are consistent and unified.
  • Electronic Health Record (EHR): A digital, longitudinal record of a patient’s health information that supports safer and more coordinated care.
  • Interoperable Data Exchange: Employs standardized protocols to allow for seamless communication between different healthcare institutions.

Advanced Security and Access Control

The architecture prioritizes patient data sovereignty and system accountability through several key features:

  • Consent Management: Provides patients with granular control to dictate exactly who accesses their data and for what specific purpose.
  • Audit Trails: Features transparent logging of all data access and modifications to enhance accountability.
  • Unified Patient Profile: Offers a real-time, comprehensive view of medical history, prescriptions, and allergies.
  • Emergency Access: Includes secure, auditable mechanisms that allow authorized personnel to access critical information when time is of the essence.

Think of the OpenPHL tech stack as a modern digital vault; while MOSIP Connect acts as the unbreakable biometric lock, the Distributed Ledger Technology serves as an unerasable logbook that records every time the vault is opened, ensuring that only the right people have access and every action is fully accounted for.
