Hey reddit!

We're getting ready to release v1.0.0 of Fasten Health!

Just a refresher: 1 year ago I announced Fasten, an open-source, self-hosted, personal/family electronic medical record aggregator (PHR), designed to integrate with 100,000's of insurances/hospitals & clinics.

It securely connects patient healthcare providers together, creating a personal health record that never leaves the patient's hands without their consent.

Here's a couple of screenshots that'll remind you what it looks like:

I'm thrilled to finally share the roadmap for our much-anticipated Fasten Health Version 1 release!

📋 Key Features and Milestones for Version 1:

1. Database Encryption at Rest:

   Security is at the core of Fasten Health. In v1, we've implemented robust database encryption at rest, ensuring that your health data is stored with the highest level of protection -- protecting your data even as it lives on your own device.

2. Desktop Apps for Mac (and Windows soon):

   The Fasten Health for Mac Desktop App is available as a Public Beta! Desktop apps open Fasten Health to a whole new world of users. No longer do you need to be a technologist who knows Docker inside out. This move not only helps us refine our product with diverse feedback but also contributes to the growth of our community. At the same time, it empowers patients by offering them a new app that solves real health-management related problems without compromising their data privacy.

3. Manual Medical Record Entry:

   We understand the importance of flexibility in managing your health data. With our upcoming v1 release, you'll be able to manually enter important aspects of your medical history, including conditions, medications, procedures, lab results, private patient notes and more. This feature ensures that your health record is truly comprehensive and reflective of your unique health journey.

4. Support for most Major Healthcare Providers in the US:

   We are delighted to announce that Fasten Health integrates with Medicare, United Healthcare, and Kaiser Permanente, among countless other major medical providers. This means that our platform now supports 40 of the 50 largest insurers in the US, along with a vast network of healthcare institutions (almost 28,000 at last count), offering you unparalleled access to your health data in one centralized hub.

A heartfelt thanks go out to the numerous Github users who've contributed and the Reddit/Discord users who've discussed & brainstormed with me. As always, your trust and support has been incredibly humbling and keeps me motivated!

Stay tuned to Discord and our Mailing List for more updates as we approach this significant milestone.

We've made a number of changes since our last update in August:

• Lab Report Enhancements: Lab tests are now sorted by most recent, and can be filtered by Test Panels (Diagnostic Reports). We've also enabled pagination to ensure the page feels responsive even with 1000s of test results.
• Healthcare Network Searchability: Now that Fasten supports 25,000+ healthcare institutions, discoverability is incredibly important. It was difficult to search for providers because Fasten required an exact match before displaying institutions. That's now been fixed, and you can also search against aliases & tags (addresses coming soon). If you've got some free time, consider contributing by adding homepages, aliases & logos for healthcare institutions in our Google Drive sheet
• Background Processing & Scheduling: We added support for background processing, meaning that you can visit another website or close your browser and your record sync will continue in the background (and we added a new page showing you which background jobs are still running). We'll be leveraging this functionality to add scheduled tasks to sync providers on a daily/weekly/etc basis (coming soon)
• Lifetime License Initiative: License sales weren't as dramatic as I'd hoped -- However I'm incredibly grateful to those of you who took a chance and decided to support us, we're getting a steady stream of purchases. If you're interested in supporting Fasten Health, you can still purchase a license using the following link. Once all 500 lifetime licenses are gone, the link will automatically deactivate.

Thanks for being a part of the Fasten Health journey. Your support has been incredibly humbling and keeps me moving forward!
