We are looking for the most interesting applications that make use of HL7 FHIR standards. Interacting with the smart device or hospital's EMR? Building a consumer-facing mobile app or predicting the next infection outbreak with Machine Learning? All of the above? Up to you, as long as your solution helps to improve people's health.
To qualify for the prize, your solution needs to use one or more InterSystems FHIR services, such as InterSystems FHIR accelerator service and/or HealthShare Message Transformation Service.
Our journey starts with registering a new tenant on InterSystems Cloud Portal. Click on "Cloud Portal" link and enter your details to get access.
Cloud PortalOnce you confirm your email and log into portal, you will get redirected to Deployments page. Each deployment represents an independent healthcare storage powered by FHIR API, residing on a dedicated virtual server within one of cloud provider's data centers (at the moment we only support Amazon AWS). Let's click "Create Deployment" button to create our first deployment.
For this hackathon you will get access to Extra Small size FHIR Accelerator Service deployment. Don't worry, it has more than enough power for typical hackathon tasks, and if you need more for some reason, ask us and we'll resize it for you! Fill out the form on this screen and in about 10 minutes you'll get your own FHIR server.
Depending on the project you have in mind, you might need some sample patient data in your storage. Once deployment is created and running, click on it and go to "Data Management" menu, and select "Bundle Operations" tab. This is where you can populate your server with sample patient databases, from relatively healthy patients to ones having specific health issues like Arthritis, Covid or Allergies.
One more step before we can use our healthcare storage is to set up security -- by default no one has access to it! FHIR Accelerator supports two security protocols you can use: API Keys and OAuth. For Hackathons we strongly recommend to use API Key approach because it's much simpler to set up and debug. Go to the API Keys page and create an API key.
Do a few clicks of a button and 5 minutes later you have a fully functional FHIR Server to build your solution. It's very easy and simple. Use your time to build your solution, not installing software.
Use a Developer Portal for understanding and testing FHIR APIs, using a Swagger-UI front-end, and easy access to all FHIR search parameters and documentation.
You can find several pre-loaded patient data scenarios to test your solution. There are thousands of synthetic patient data to make a rich presentation.
Some applications are too important to fail. They support our healthcare systems, businesses , and governments . Health. Prosperity. Society. These are things that matter. What our clients strive to enable every day. And what our software helps make possible.
