- Medplum App - This is a web application where can you can view your data, perform basic editing tasks. You can also use the Medplum App to manage basic workflows.
- UI Component Library - Medplum ships with a system of React components designed to help you quickly develop custom healthcare applications

If you want to implement a new feature, open an issue first to discuss what it'd look like and to ensure it fits in our roadmap and plans for the app.
If you want to contribute but are unsure to start, we have a "good first issue" label which is applied to newcomer-friendly issues. Take a look at the full list of good first issues and pick something you like!
Want to fix a bug or implement an agreed-upon feature? Great, jump to the local setup instructions!
With the ground rules out of the way, let's talk about the coarse architecture of this mono repo:
- Full-stack TypeScript: We use Node.js to power our servers, and React to power our frontend apps. Almost all of the code you'll touch in this codebase will be TypeScript.
Here is a list of all the big technologies we use:
- PostgreSQL: Data storage
- Redis: Background jobs and caching
- Express: API server
- TypeScript: Type-safe JavaScript
- React: Frontend React app
