Which one should you run?

If you want the safest bet on longevity, OpenEMR is the best-maintained project in this category right now at 88/100. wger is the closest runner-up (85/100) — see the side-by-side comparison.

A health score measures whether a project is alive and shipping. It does not measure whether it has the feature you need. Use it to rule options out, then compare on features.
