Open betaOpenShare

The healthcare data gateway. Browser-based admin, secure remote access, and direct encrypted exchange for Mirth Connect and the Open Integration Engine, all from one server plugin.

The experience layer

Your integration engine,
with a modern front end.

When NextGen took open-source Mirth Connect commercial in 2025, the community carried it forward as the Open Integration Engine. OpenShare is the experience layer on top: install one plugin on your OIE, Mirth Connect, or BridgeLink server, and run it from the browser. No new engine, no migration, no channels to move.

See it in action

Real-time visibility. Complete control.

From analytics dashboards to channel administration, everything your team needs in a single browser tab.

Up and running with a free account, in no time. Log in to install the OpenShare plugin on your OIE or Mirth Connect server, or download the OIE + plugin installer we built for Linux and Windows (macOS coming soon).

Security & compliance

Security is the architecture.

On-premise data, zero-trust connections, and end-to-end encryption, designed for organizations handling protected health information.

Your PHI stays on your infrastructure

OpenShare never stores your healthcare data. Traffic is end-to-end encrypted in transit, and even a relayed connection stays encrypted end to end, so the platform cannot read it. The optional PHI-free dashboard exposes metadata only.

WebRTC DTLSoutbound-onlydirect-only mode

Designed for HIPAA, aligned with MDDS

Audit logging, role-based access, and BAA terms available for members. As a pure data system that transfers and displays without altering clinical meaning, OpenShare aligns with the FDA's Medical Device Data System classification and is not a registered device.

The OpenShare platform

One install. Everything included.

OpenShare is one product: a single install on your own server, managed from your browser. Everything below is included in one plugin: a unified control plane and an exchange network.

Every capability is free to run on your own servers. See how membership works →

How it works

Launch in the browser. Connect directly.

Open the Console from openshare.health and it connects straight to your own servers, end-to-end encrypted. Running your fleet, building channels, and monitoring are free forever. Connecting org-to-org — the Contact Directory, sharing agreements, and direct exchange — is free for everyone during the open beta, up to three partner organizations, and becomes a membership feature when the beta ends.

How OpenShare connectsYou launch the OpenShare Console from openshare.health. The browser client connects directly to your own OIE and OpenShare plugin servers, end-to-end encrypted. Managing your own fleet is free. When the beta ends, a membership is needed to initiate connections to other organizations across the exchange network; during the open beta it is free, for up to three partner organizations.YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE · FREEFull admin, channel building, and monitoring, all free2direct · encrypted · to your serversconnect request3PAID1openshare.healthlaunch + signaling onlyCoordinates the link.

1

Launch the Console from openshare.health. It sets up the connection with signaling only, and never sees your data.

2

Everything on your side is free. Connect directly to your own OIE and Mirth servers, build and edit channels (including advanced mode), and monitor your fleet. No membership required.

3

When the beta ends, pay only to reach other organizations. Initiating sharing agreements and connections across the exchange network will take a membership; during the open beta it is free. Receiving requests and exchanging with any paid member stay free, and every connection needs just one paying member, who can cover up to 20.

Exchange

No middleman. No per-study fees.

Cloud image networks meter your data and copy it onto their servers. OpenShare moves studies, priors, and clinical messages gateway to gateway, direct between organizations, with nothing in the middle that can read them.

OpenShare never sees your PHI

Every connection is end-to-end encrypted with WebRTC DTLS. OpenShare sets up the link and relays traffic it cannot read. Turn the relay off entirely for direct-only in the strictest environments.

Direct transfer, not a cloud copy

Studies and messages move gateway to gateway, direct between organizations. Nothing is stored after delivery, and your engine and all PHI stay on your own infrastructure.

They bill the study. We bill the bytes.

Flat, relay-metered pricing instead of per-image fees. A routine CT costs about eight cents to move over the relay, and direct transfers aren’t metered at all. One paid hub covers up to 20 connections, and each of those partners connects free.

Hubs pay. Spokes connect free.

Free to run. Pay only to reach out.

This is the model for when the beta ends. Running your own servers stays free forever; a membership is what buys Contact Directory access and the power to initiate sharing agreements and connections — and every connection needs just one paying member, who can cover up to 20. During the open beta you get more, free (see below).

Free$0

The whole toolkit for your own OIE and Mirth servers: full Console (read/write), Gateway remote access, monitoring, and DICOM viewing, with advanced-mode channel building. Receive requests and exchange with any paid member, up to 10 GB of relayed transfer a month. Free on one server — two in a free organization — no credit card.

Membership$500/server/mo

Reach out across the network with each connection set up and secured for you: send connection requests, use the Contact Directory and sharing agreements, plus 2.5 GB/mo of relayed transfer per server, then $0.25/GB. Never per study — and direct peer-to-peer transfer is never metered.

During the open beta you get more than the tier above — free. No membership is needed, and none is for sale yet: share and exchange, browse the Contact Directory, and connect with up to three organizations. Free includes 10 GB of relayed transfer a month; past that, data stops until the month rolls over. The pricing above is the model for when the beta ends.

Connect & exchange

Find a partner in the directory, send a scoped sharing agreement, and move HL7, FHIR, and DICOM org-to-org once both sides accept.

OpenShare is in open beta.

Run your integration engine from the browser and exchange directly with partners. Free to run, and during the open beta free to connect and exchange with up to three organizations, no membership needed.
