## What it is
Medplum is an open-source developer platform for building compliant healthcare applications, providing a FHIR-native clinical data repository, authentication, APIs, SDKs, bots, and a React UI component library. It ships with a headless EHR web app and supports HIPAA/SOC2-compliant self-hosted or cloud deployments.

## Use cases
- build a custom EHR for my clinic
- store and query FHIR patient data
- add HIPAA-compliant authentication to a healthcare app
- build a patient engagement web app
- automate clinical workflows with server-side bots
- integrate HL7 lab and device data
- self-host a FHIR server
- build healthcare UIs with prebuilt React components

## When to choose
- you need a standards-based (FHIR) backend for clinical data
- HIPAA/SOC2 compliance is required out of the box
- you are building a custom EHR, telehealth, or patient-facing app
- you want open source with no vendor lock-in and self-hosting options

## When to avoid
- your application has nothing to do with healthcare or clinical data
- you need a lightweight library rather than a full platform with server infrastructure
- you cannot operate PostgreSQL, Redis, and related services required for self-hosting
