We are doing a small PoC to see what FHIR tools will suit us best. For now we have installed the HAPI API (Java) and it seems to work just fine.. ;-). Other options would be the Node version from Asymmetrik https://github.com/Asymmetrik/node-fhir-server-core or the storage component Firebase from https://www.health-samurai.io/fhirbase. Firebase and HAPI do not have authentication included, Asymmetrik does.
Did anyone else compared tools before and did we miss anything? For us it is must to have the entire stack in our hands, so open source is preferred.

@Jan-Marc Verlinden - are you investigated FHIR servers or client tools? On the client tools side there are many, you can find some of the list on this HL7 FHIR page: http://wiki.hl7.org/index.php?title=FHIR_Tooling_Eco-system
Also, the other day someone posted a link to a Java/Eclipse tool for converting HL7 V2 to FHIR: https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/179188-v2-to.20FHIR/topic/TBX

Hi @John Silva, many thanks. We are looking for both backend as well as frontend tools. Think the backend side is covered quite well, so the blanc spot is still frontend. What would help would be a Blog or story that explain about frontend like this story does for storage https://www.health-samurai.io/articles/should-you-use-fhir-resources-as-your-data-storage-format.
Anyway we found out about FHIRJs https://www.npmjs.com/package/ng-fhirjs and for instance Meteor https://github.com/clinical-meteor. Think there will be more tools that we should know about, so we would be glad to hear.
Think it is a steep learning curve..:-), but we are getting there. Many thank to the Zulip users anyway!

Take a look at https://www.health-samurai.io/aidbox too

If you have specific questions about frontend for FHIR - we have a number of projects on react, angular, clojurescript in production and can share experience with you.

Hi @nicola (RIO/SS), think we will talk with you in the afternoon. We also found some interesting stuff from Lantana at https://github.com/lantanagroup. Any other similar projects would be of great help.

I am working on a poc that converts some raw fitness data and post in fhir. I was working with python smart client, unfortunately the protected fhir server I am working with only supports OAuth2 and python client only supports smart on fhir protocol. Does any know any fhir client that can be used to sterilize data into fhir and support OAuth2 as well? Thanks for help

It states in ... SMART Application Launch Framework Implementation Guide Release 1.
This profile is intended to be used by developers of apps that need to access FHIR resources by requesting access tokens from OAuth 2.0 compliant authorization servers. It is compatible with FHIR DSTU2 and above, and includes explicit definitions for extensions in DSTU2 and STU3.
So it should be OK.
