OpenSpecimen is a free and open source biobanking informatics platform that is used in 20+ biobanks in eight countries across the globe.[4] OpenSpecimen streamlines the process of collecting high quality standards-based (SNOMED, LOINC, ICD, etc) data. OpenSpecimen allows users to collect disease-specific annotations, clinical and pathology data, study-specific parameters, patient questionnaires, QA/QC data, specimen lifecycle events, and any other site-specific custom data. OpenSpecimen also contains a reporting module extract data from all types of datasets. OpenSpecimen exposes REST APIs to enable integration with other clinical databases and instruments. Those APIs can also be used to develop custom user interfaces and workflows.

The software comes in a free Community edition and a priced Enterprise edition, with the various Pro versions including support and additional plug-ins.[5] Krishagni Solutions Pvt. Ltd. leads development and maintenance of the software for the OpenSpecimen user community. The company also sells a number of professional support services, including developer support, remote server maintenance, customization, and data migration support.[5]

Product history

OpenSpecimen was originally developed by Krishagni as caTissue Plus, a free open-source biobanking LIMS/LIS heavily modeled after the National Cancer Institute's caTissue product.[6] Krishagni also offered fee-based support services for the free software.

In July 2014, Krishangi revealed caTissue Plus was being rewritten as OpenSpecimen, with the rewrite tentatively set to be complete by March 2015. The company stated on their website: "caTissue is a 10 year old code base. The design and architecture is old technology-based, difficult to maintain and add new featured [sic] on top of it."[7] On July 22, release candidate one of the software was released to GitHub.[8] Several other release candidates were made available, culminating in the first version 1.0 stable release of the software on September 25.[1]
