Hi Sameera, welcome to the community! 👋

Yes, there is active AI work in OpenMRS. The most concrete evidence that i have also got a chance to see is Chart Search (ChartSearchAI), which is currently in development. Clinicians ask natural-language questions about a patient (e.g. “Allergies?” or “When was the last tetanus shot?”) and get answers with source citations back to the chart. Key design points from the project page:

Code: [GitHub - openmrs/openmrs-module-chartsearchai: AI-powered chart search module for OpenMRS · GitHub](https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-chartsearchai)

Beyond that, I’m sure that the AI direction is still being shaped with the community.

A few more places to start:

AI and OpenMRS community kick-off discussion: [🤖 AI and OpenMRS: Community Kick-off Discussion](https://talk.openmrs.org/t/ai-and-openmrs-community-kick-off-discussion/45106) . It lists early use cases such as converting paper forms into O3 forms, concept/terminology matching, summarising discharge instructions, and chart search.

Making OpenMRS easier for AI tools: [Small project idea to make OpenMRS easier for AI tools](https://talk.openmrs.org/t/small-project-idea-to-make-openmrs-easier-for-ai-tools/47484) . This is about giving LLMs concise context on the data model.

They cover the technical direction, including the difficulty of the EAV model for AI and ideas for a flattened, AI-friendly patient record.

hope this helps.
