What is Synapse Electronic Medical Record?
Synapse-EMR is a powerful multi-user electronic medical records system that uses the open source RDBMS Firebird.

Geek Stuff

Synapse-EMR is written using REBOL, a functional programming language with an internet bias. The GUI is written using Ashley Truter's great RebGUI, which provides added functionality over REBOL's original Visual Interface Dialect. Communication between the client and server is by multiple asynchronous encrypted tcp channels which produces a very flexible and responsive GUI.

Although apparently a client-server architecture, the server is also capable of acting as a client to another server instance allowing a number of servers to share anonymous epidemiological information, as well as provide secure messaging between servers.

Synapse-EMR uses the open source RDBMS Firebird to store all data. Firebird has a long history starting off life originally as Borland's Interbase. Firebird is reknown for being a zero administration ANSI SQL-99 database that is suitable for use in mission critical systems. It is free of licensing restrictions.
