Personal Health Gateway: FHIR Observation Upload Capability

The Observation Upload Capability is a central feature of the Continua Design Guidelines.  It enables vital signs data from a variety of sensors to be uploaded separately or combined as a multi-measurement.  This capability is critical to allow healthcare providers to clearly understand and integrate the data to provide a more holistic perspective and thus improve outcomes at lower cost. 

The FHIR implementation reduces development cost by simplifying implementation of the Observation Upload and leveraging the broader developer community already versed in the latest web technologies.

The primary deliverable of this project is source code, along with the associated build, validation, and regulatory artifacts, that when used can create software services for the current commercial release of both the iOS and Android platforms.  Key functionality includes IEEE 11073 mapping to a FHIR data model, supporting capability exchange, OAuth service and FHIR-based observation uploads. Tests shall be created for the existing CODE for Healthcare testing framework.

This software will be available to members here.
