About

This is a public case library of how digital health systems behave under stress — ransomware, disasters, demand surges, and the erosion of trust — and what helps them hold. Every case is built from public sources only, written after the dust settles rather than in the middle of an active incident.

Cases are chosen for how well-documented they are, not how recent or sensational they are — each one needs enough public reporting, official investigations, or regulatory filings to reconstruct what happened and verify it independently. Every case treats the points of resilience as seriously as the points of failure: the backups that worked, the downtime procedures, the patch that shipped in time, the mutual aid between facilities. Post-mortems tend to skip that half of the story; this project doesn't. Claims are sourced and cited, and anything that can't be verified against a public primary source is flagged rather than smoothed over.
