01 / THE IDEA
The
Manifest.
Why medical technology needs a new development model — and the ten principles that unite us.
Read the Manifest ↗An open global movement
Medical technology.
Rethought. Rebuilt.
Together.
We are replacing closed, vertically integrated software products with an open ecosystem of reusable medical capabilities.
OPEN SEMANTICSRECOMBINABLE CAPABILITIESGLOBAL COLLABORATION
Our mission
Bring medical capabilities within everyone’s reach — by enabling more people to develop medical technology.
Three building blocks
One idea. Two concrete initiatives.
The Manifest sets out our approach. The Device puts it to the technical test. 1,000 Villages builds the international network.

The
Device.
Tablet, ultrasound and AI. A functioning diagnostic system built from independently composable modules.

1,000
Villages.
1,000 devices for 1,000 villages in the Global South. Connecting people, learning from field experience and collaborating.
Explore the initiative ↗The central thesis
Capabilities instead of
complete products.
Conventional medical software bundles many functions into complete process chains for specific use cases. Even testing a single idea becomes costly.
We develop small, semantically described modules that work independently and can be assembled into different applications. This lowers barriers for researchers and developers worldwide.

A complete, functioning system ↗
We are building a movement, not a central platform company.Independent. Open. Forkable. Interoperable by design.
The first research project
One functional end-to-end proof.
We aim to show that independent components can be assembled into a complete diagnostic application.
The Device
One tablet.
Many diagnoses.
A multimodal Android platform uses camera, audio and touchscreen. An ultrasound probe is the first external extension. Two distinct diagnostic tasks, multiple user roles and replaceable modules demonstrate the architecture.
