Starting from the shoulders of Giants

We don't believe in reinventing the wheel - and that's why we've built Opal on a Django, Angular and Bootstrap stack.

A specialist health care framework

Most frameworks don't care about your domain.
Opal is different.

Built by experienced developers, it helps you ship robust applications fit for the demanding world of health care.

With Batteries Included

Lots of clinical applications need similar components. Patient lists, clinical pathways, and search to name just a few.

Opal is a "batteries included" framework, and comes with a rich library of composable modules, battle tested in real clinical settings.

Opal Optimises for
programmer happiness

Opal is designed to support developers who need to take applications from idea to production as fast as possible, and to support services that are iterated frequently.

Get up and running in seconds.
Save time with convention over configuration.
No need to re-invent the wheel, or spend time writing boilerplate code.
