Create an open source Software as a Medical Device platform that equips entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, and researchers to take what they are building, get it reviewed, tested, validated, regulated, and deployed for clinical use in hospitals all around the world.

By having all of the platform, and all of the products be open source we can all learn off of each other, stop reinventing the wheel, and focus on spending more time taking our amazing innovations from our bench-top to the patient bedside.

OpenSaMD is a bootstrapped business that is entirely funded by the initial founders, government grants, and the revenue generated from selling the "for-clinical-use" versions of each of the products within the OpenSaMD platform.

The OpenSaMD platform is distributed under the AGPL-3.0 license which requires all modifications built on top of the platform or any of its products to also be released under the same open source license.

In practice, this means, if you want to build on top of the OpenSaMD platform you need to also distribute your resulting products under the AGPL-3.0 license.

If you would like to use the OpenSaMD platform or any of its contained products for clinical use you are required to purchase the regulated release. If you are interested in purchasing the regulated release of an OpenSaMD product reach out to [email protected].

The source code that is downloadable from GitHub or any release artifact that is not built and distributed by OpenSaMD is explicitly not intended for clinical use.
