Hello OpenMRS Community,
My name is **Rishikesh varma** , a student focusing on java . I am writing to express my strong interest in the **“Implementation of the Smart Notification Feature for Lab Results”** project for GSoC 2026.
**Why this project:** I have a background in **Java** , and I am passionate about building systems that improve healthcare workflows. The bottleneck described in this proposal—where clinicians manually track lab results—is a critical problem, and I would love to contribute to solving it.
**Current Progress:**
- I have successfully set up the OpenMRS SDK and deployed the O3 Reference Application locally.
- I have been reviewing the **Order** and **Obs** modules in the codebase to understand how the Event Mechanism works.
- I am currently looking into **OrderService & LabOrderModel** to understand the data flow.
**Question for the Mentors:** While exploring the codebase, I noticed that notifications are handled differently depending on the implementation. Could you guide me on whether we should create a new module for this feature or extend the existing **[e.g., Notification or Messaging]** module?
I look forward to contributing to OpenMRS.
Best regards,
Rishikesh Varma
