Contribute to Akello: Simplifying Data Integration for Healthcare

Looking to make a real impact in healthcare tech? Akello is an open-source project in development, and we’re inviting developers like you to join us in tackling one of the biggest challenges in the industry: data integration.

In healthcare, systems don’t play nicely together. Whether it’s EHR systems, medical devices, or lab data, the integration process is often tedious, fragmented, and forces developers to reinvent the wheel over and over again. This slows down innovation, making it harder to deliver the life-saving technology and streamlined solutions healthcare desperately needs.

That’s why we’re building Akello. Our mission is to simplify data integration in healthcare by providing a flexible, microservice-based platform that connects different systems effortlessly. But we’re still early in the process, and this is where you come in.

Akello is designed to make it easier for developers to build integrations without starting from scratch. It’s a platform where different point solutions can plug in and work together. But there’s more to be done, and we need contributors to help shape the project and solve real-world problems. If you’ve ever worked with healthcare standards like HL7 or FHIR, or struggled with connecting siloed systems, you’ll know exactly how much value a project like Akello can bring.

By contributing to Akello, you’re not just building software—you’re helping create a foundation that could accelerate innovation across the healthcare industry. You’ll be part of an open-source community working to make healthcare systems more interoperable, faster to deploy, and easier to manage. Whether you’re an expert in microservices, have experience in healthcare development, or are just passionate about solving complex data problems, your input can help drive the future of this project.

We’re working on the core infrastructure right now, but there’s a lot of room for new ideas, features, and improvements. As a contributor, you’ll have the opportunity to directly influence how Akello evolves, ensuring it solves the real pain points developers face in healthcare integration.

Ready to make a difference? Check out Akello’s GitHub repo and join the conversation. Together, we can build a tool that changes the way healthcare tech works—one integration at a time.
