Linux Foundation in OpenHIE & the Digital Health Community

LFPH hosts several exposure notification apps like COVID Green and Herald.

  • COVID Green was developed by NearForm as part of Ireland’s response to the pandemic. Since’s its launch by Ireland’s Health Services Executive in July, it has achieved over 30% adoption.
  • Herald was developed by VMWare as part of the UK’s response to the pandemic. The protocol is not built off the Google-Apply Exposure Notification APIs. Australia and Alberta, CA have deployed the protocol in their app and Singapore has contributed the OpenTrace protocol to them.

Members set the direction for LFPH

Premiere members get a seat on the governing board, setting the strategy, and also appoint the Technical Advisory Committee, who approves the budget, and update the charter.

Premiere members also participate in the outreach committee to publicize LFPH and its hosted technologies, and collaborate across the industry to provide consistent messaging around public health, open source, security, and privacy.
