THOT

What is THOT?

THOT is a versatile event and case management system designed to aid medical, fire and other care teams working at public events and conferences.

It stems from the medical team of the Chaos Communication Congresses (CERT) and as such is designed with utmost data protection and accessibility in mind.

THOT's main features include:

Overview of ongoing events and assigned units
Availability, type and status information of units
Status overview for treatment, conference or retreat rooms, or other locations where patients and guests receive help
Role based access control and secure authentication (currently only pre-defined roles)
Automatic logging of all actions taken in their respective logs (event log, general log, audit log)
Manual additions to event log and versatile note feature
Shift and personnel management through integration with external application Engelsystem

Try it yourself with our demo

Our public demo instance is available for you to try out functionality and evaluate whether the tool is the right choice for you.

Please be mindful of what you put in there, please don't add personal data and don't put in slurs or any kind of hateful content. If you do, we'll be forced to put it down and replace it with screenshots instead.

Please note: The demo instance will be cleared of any data regularly and without prior notice, and reflects the latest state of our development branch!

Accounts to be used on the demo (pw=test):

testuser - all permissions, not suited for production
testdispo - default dispatcher view, no access to system settings
testleitung - supervisor account, can access system settings, manage permissions, and read audit log

We care for you, too

THOT was designed by volunteers from various German humanitarian aid organisations. As such its interface is mainly in German language but we're working on translations. Although it is designed to accomodate various disabilities and needs in mind, certain features have been omitted for complexity and others simply have not been implemented yet.

Accessibility features include:

Dual system of color-coding and icons, to accommodate color-blindness et al.
Inclusive Sans as default font choice to accommodate users with dyslexia
Large and touchscreen-friendly buttons for quick actions
Dark theme as default to prevent eye exhaustion during long shifts and late nights
High contrast, but slightly dampened, color scheme to accommodate various neurodivergent needs

Accessibility features already on our roadmap:

User theme selection (minimum: dark/light)
User font option for Open Dyslexic (maybe more)

Accessibility features we still need help with:

Full support for keyboard-only operation (e.g. for those with RSI)
Convenience for screen-reader users / blind and vision-impaired users in general
Full implementation of WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) 2.1

3, 2, 1, go!

Sorry, but we're not THAT fast. THOT is still under heavy development and not quite secure and stable enough to let it cross the street on its own.

THOT is free and open source software licensed under the terms of GPLv3 (GNU General Public License Version 3). A release to the general public - including the appropriate party - is planned for the 38th Chaos Communication Congress in December 2024.

At the moment we're still working on making the system safe and sound. If you want to try it nontheless and join out team of alpha and beta testers, feel free to contact us via the address at the bottom of the page.
