openEHR is a new way of building healthcare IT systems. It is the only 'low code' approach proven at scale for a vendor-neutral clinical data repository capable of storing and retrieving healthcare data in a fully GDPR-compliant manner.
Many openEHR applications can be developed by business analysts using low-code development tools, available with platform implementations. More complex applications are built with tool support for form-building, the AQL query language, and the openEHR REST API to connect to the platform.
