Mike's Notes
This is where I will keep detailed working notes on creating Workspaces for Health. Eventually, these will become permanent, better-written documentation stored elsewhere. Hopefully, someone will come up with a better name than this working title.
This replaces coverage in Industry Workspace written on 13/10/2025.
Testing
The current online mockup is version 1 and will be updated frequently. If you are helping with testing, please remember to delete your browser cache so you see the daily changes. Eventually, a live demo version will be available for field trials.
Learning
I was a member of the OMG BMP+ Health Group in 2020. It was a great learning opportunity to be part of an experienced team. There is an excellent repository storing the results of this work, and much of it is used here.
Why
My family and I, and our friends, have experienced very poor healthcare decisions due to the chaos of separate silos of information in the NZ Health System. It's a total waste of resources and needs urgent fixing.

Workspaces for Health
Mike is the inventor and architect of Pipi and the founder of Ajabbi.
Open-source
This open-source SaaS cloud system will be shared on GitHub and GitLab.
Dedication
This workspace is dedicated to the life and work of Dr Jonas Salk, inventor of the first Polio vaccine. Salk did not patent the vaccine and therefore did not profit financially from it.
May his memory be a blessing.

HIS
"A hospital information system (HIS) is an element of health informatics that primarily addresses the administrative and operational needs of hospitals. In many implementations, an HIS is a comprehensive, integrated information system designed to manage all aspects of a hospital's operation, including medical, administrative, financial, and legal processes. HIS is also referred to as hospital management software or hospital management system (HMS). More broadly, an HIS is a type of medical information system (MIS)." - Wikipedia
