Your skills can save lives. Literally.
WELES Open is built entirely by volunteers — doctors, engineers, and students who decided that open, transparent medical AI shouldn't wait for a big company to get around to it. There's a place here for you too, whatever your background.
No red tape. Real impact.
This isn't a corporate open-source project with a marketing team behind it — it's a small, focused community. You pick up work that matches your time and interests, your code and clinical input are reviewed by real practitioners, and you can see exactly how your contribution moves the project forward. No unpaid-internship vibes, no busywork.

3. You're in
Access to the repository and the team's communication channel, and you pick your first task.
Bring your ML, backend, or frontend skills.
From computer vision model work to the tools clinicians use every day — there's a wide range of problems here, all with a real, visible impact. Pick up something that matches your stack and your available time.
Your clinical judgment is the missing ingredient.
You don't need to write a single line of code to make a real difference here. Reviewing images, describing findings, and validating model output against real clinical standards is exactly the kind of contribution that keeps this project safe and useful.
