Project Buendia is an open-source electronic medical record (EMR) system designed for relief missions. It was originally created in collaboration with MSF in response to the 2014 Ebola epidemic in West Africa.

Today's current project is an update and upgrade of the project for use in the 2019 Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
