EMR for Rural Clinics 

Modernize your clinic without the internet/electricity 

Offline Electronic Health Records for Remote Communities

 BackpackEMR Now Includes Virtual Care 

BackpackEMR was originally created for mobile, pop-up clinics in rural villages, and has been used to provide virtual care during the height of the COVID outbreak. Now we’ve adapted our solution for physical health centers in rural communities. Rural clinics often have limited access to infrastructure, like consistent electricity and internet, so BackpackEMR has added specialty modules to help cover point-of-care for dozens of health centers across 25 countries.

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.
