What are the features needed for a patient monitoring scenario? He wanted to analyze oximetry, breathing, pressure, and heart rate.
Lloyd McKenzie (Jun 12 2019 at 17:06):
Those would all be represented using Observation - most of them have standard profiles - look for "vital signs" on the Observation page.

And a 'honking fast' FHIR server to handle the high-frequency data coming from these sources.
Melanie Yeung (Jun 12 2019 at 18:18):
are you looking to connect devices too? we've got a PHD Implementation Guide for device data - http://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/PHD/ProfileConsumers.html
Michael Lawley (Jun 12 2019 at 19:01):
@Melanie Yeung do you know if nightscout ppl are looking at FHIR at all?
Melanie Yeung (Jun 12 2019 at 22:03):
I’ve talked to a few members about using FHIR. I don’t know if they have implemented it yet or on their roadmap. Tidepool is another diabetes device aggregator that I’m trying to get more involved in FHIR. @Kelly Watson

@Michael Lawley @Melanie Yeung we (Sensotrend) are implementing a Nightscout API <-> FHIR implementation. Our first case is for the Finnish national PHR that's FHIR based, we've ported the Nightscout API on top of that.
Mikael Rinnetmäki (Jun 28 2019 at 15:58):
I've also advocated replacing the Nightscout API with a FHIR implementation in the past, when v3 of the Nightscout API was being specified. The community decided to use a proprietary API, though.
Michael Lawley (Jun 28 2019 at 23:46):
So you're providing a Nightscout API facade to a FHIR backend? That sounds awesome. Is this an open source project that anyone can contribute to?
Mikael Rinnetmäki (Jun 29 2019 at 20:59):
Exactly that.
Not open source quite yet, but we're working hard to make it one.
Melanie Yeung (Jul 02 2019 at 14:34):
@Mikael Rinnetmäki that's great. Let us know if we can help! This would be a great effort for the community.
Michael Lawley (Jan 29 2020 at 23:14):
Hi @Mikael Rinnetmäki I gather you'll be at the Sydney meeting this weekend / next week. Would be great to catch up about this.
Mikael Rinnetmäki (Jan 30 2020 at 05:07):
Hi @Michael Lawley I'd love to be there but unfortunately we needed to prioritize bringing our products to market, and I cannot make it to Sydney this time.
Mikael Rinnetmäki (Jan 30 2020 at 05:08):
But the code is now published as open source, see https://github.com/Sensotrend/nightscout-fi for starters (the README links to other public repos too).
