Any news on Apple's supposedly joining the Argonaut Project and supporting FHIR? Do we have any idea what resources they're going to support? Will they only be supporting XML? Or will they support JSON also? Does their support mean that HealthKit will support an OAuth server? So many questions.... (but also very exciting).

No news ... neither Argonaut nor Apple has announced their participation in Argonaut.

Hello,
Any experience with Apple's Health App. looks like FHIR support is coming with 11.3.

Thanks,

yes. it's based on the argonaut interface. Several argonaut vendors assisted apple to develop and test the integration

Hi, does anyone know whether Apple /iOS expects to retrieve Compositions or individual discreet resources (or both, i.e. discreet resources as found identified inside a composition) when using Argonaut?
Michael Donnelly (May 17 2018 at 08:27):
I believe they retrieve discrete resources.
Michael Donnelly (May 17 2018 at 08:27):
@Danielle Friend ?
Danielle Friend (May 17 2018 at 08:32):
@Tim Coates they query for data via the discrete resources - Argonaut profiled the resources in the CCDS but did not profile composition.
Danielle Friend (May 17 2018 at 08:33):
Of course Apple should be the source of truth to confirm :)
Lloyd McKenzie (May 17 2018 at 09:01):
We need an @Apple :)

It may not be perfect 1:1, but the list of API Calls at http://syncfor.science/use-case/clinical/ should be a good starting point to think about it. @Pascal Pfiffner if you can comment on differences that'd be ideal.
Pascal Pfiffner (May 21 2018 at 16:15):
Yep, see S4S, Composition is not involved.
Peter Bernhardt (Jun 12 2018 at 20:33):
Ok, so nothing in the current HealthKit API documentation gives any hint of FHIR support. No public docs on beta?

@Peter Bernhardt https://developer.apple.com/documentation/healthkit/health_and_fitness_samples/accessing_health_records

Ouch. That documentation is kind of painful in its sparseness and architecture. They’re definitely not taking a native FHIR approach, and are shoehorning the standard into their existing data storage model. It’s a start, I suppose. The good news is that documentation should be enough to create a Cordova plugin, which will let us bridge between HealthKit/HealthRecords and a full FHIR data environment.

Also relevant...

We’ll probably want to coordinate with them and make sure their HealthKit plugin exposes jsonDictionary, and/or fhirRecord.data.

Happy to discuss your concerns after our session in Boston! https://www.fhirdevdays.com/boston/schedule/#event-136

Would love to connect afterwords. I’d totally attend the HealthKit session, but I’m scheduled to speak on Javascript Full Stack Development at the same time! :D #speakerproblems
