If you’ve ever worked in healthcare tech, you know the struggle—integrating data is a monumental challenge. Systems don’t talk to each other, data is siloed, and every new project feels like a painful repeat of the same manual integration work. Whether it’s connecting EHR systems, medical devices, or handling patient data across multiple platforms, the process is slow, error-prone, and exhausting.
Enter Akello—or at least, the idea of it.
Akello is an open-source project we’re currently developing with one goal in mind: to simplify data integration in healthcare. We’re building a platform that makes it easy to connect different services using a modular, microservice-driven architecture. But we’re not there yet—and we need your help to get it off the ground.
Healthcare’s complexity is what makes innovation so slow. Every hospital or clinic might have its own way of managing data, and developers are constantly rebuilding the same integrations from scratch, project after project. Akello aims to change that by providing a set of building blocks to unify these disparate systems. The idea is to create something extensible, where developers can plug in new services without needing to start over each time.
But here’s the exciting part: Akello is still in development, and we need contributors. If you’ve got experience building in healthcare, or if you’ve battled with these data challenges yourself, you know exactly how critical this problem is—and why solving it is so important. We’re building Akello to be flexible and extensible, and we need input from developers who understand the healthcare space to make sure we’re solving the right problems.
Right now, we’re working on getting the core infrastructure ready, but there’s so much more to do. We’re looking for developers who are passionate about making healthcare systems talk to each other more effectively. Whether you have experience with microservices, healthcare standards like HL7 or FHIR, or just want to help shape the future of data integration in this field, we’d love for you to contribute.
By joining Akello, you’ll be helping to build a platform that can transform how developers handle healthcare integrations. You’ll have the opportunity to influence its direction and solve real problems in one of the most challenging industries out there.
If you’re ready to help make healthcare tech faster and easier to build, check out our repo and join the conversation. Together, we can make Akello the go-to platform for healthcare data integration.
