# Low-resource settings

> MedLog scales down to settings without full EHR infrastructure or continuous connectivity.

MedLog can be implemented in low- and lower-middle-income settings without requiring full EHR
infrastructure or continuous connectivity.

## Minimal implementation

A minimal implementation can record only a small set of fields, such as
[Header](/specification/header), [Model instance](/specification/model-instance), and
[Outputs](/specification/outputs), and add further fields as local capacity grows.

## Intermittent connectivity

When network access is intermittent, local write-behind caching can store records on device and
synchronize them once connectivity returns.

## Without an EHR

Where EHR systems are unavailable, MedLog records can instead link to encounter-level metadata such as
time, location, and department, with optional [FHIR](/implementation/interoperability#fhir) integration
when available.

## Open-source platforms

MedLog can also connect to platforms such as **OpenMRS** and **DHIS2**.
