EMR for Rural Clinics
Modernize your clinic without the internet/electricity
Offline Electronic Health Records for Remote Communities
BackpackEMR Now Includes Virtual Care
BackpackEMR has primarily been used in the field for mobile, pop-up clinics in rural villages, and most recently to help track COVID-19 symptoms and risks. Now we’ve adapted our solution to help teams provide much-needed medical support to communities overseas who are left without access to healthcare. We’ve added a Web Portal, notifications, and a prioritized queue to manage remote patient chart reviews.

Our products include an easily downloadable App that captures data offline, a Web Portal for access to patients through a browser, a Web Admin tool to manage your settings, and Automated Notifications for instant alerts and improved response times. Click through our products below for more details.

Alert medical professionals when patient charts are ready to review.
Best Used For…
Virtual Care
When a patient chart is ready for review, local staff will assign the chart to a specific medical professional in your network or a group of your trusted physicians.
Medical reviewers get alerts when a patient chart review is requested. They’ll receive a link to log into BackpackEMR’s Web Portal to review the chart and give feedback on diagnoses and treatments.
Top Features
Single Click Access
Notification links take medical professionals directly to the patient chart or list of patients ready for review.
Secure Links
All links to patient charts require login creditials for authentication to prevent unauthorized access to patient files.
Remote Logins
Medical professionals receive secure logins to use on any device to review patient charts.
Automated Alerts
Alert notifications are sent directly to medical professionals so they can quickly and easily jump into the patient chart when needed.
BackpackEMR App
The BackpackEMR App is quick to roll out to your team with a simple app download, and less than an hour of training time needed. It captures patient data offline or online, and can share data among other devices without the internet or electricity.
Best Used For…
Mobile "Pop-Up" Clinics
The BackpackEMR App is ideal for traveling medical teams who provide full clinics in remote areas. Our offline network means you can share data among clinic stations without access to the internet or electricity.
Small Rural Clinics
Does the internet come and go in your small clinic? Or does the electricity go down, bringing down your internet and accessibility to a server? The BackpackEMR App can keep your team working and sharing data during outages with our offline network.
Home-Based Care
During the pandemic, large gatherings like mobile clinics may not be safe in some areas, and patients are reluctant to go into clinics. Community health workers and clinicians can safely visit patients in their homes using the BackpackEMR App to view and update patient charts.
Top Features

Patient can’t make it into the clinic? You can retreive or enter patient data while offline, and BackpackEMR will upload the data to the cloud when you are back at home base.
