The Trial AI platform leverages InterSystems cloud services including the FHIR Transformation Service and IRIS Cloud SQL to assist with clinical trial recruitment, an expensive and prevalent problem. It does this by ingesting structured and unstructured healthcare data, then uses AI to help identify eligible patients.

This article will introduce you to the concept of virtual environments in Python, which are essential for managing dependencies and isolating project from the OS.
Here's a practical example of how to import data from a CSV file into InterSystems CACHÉ using ObjectScript Assuming your CSV file is simple (e.g., comma-separated, with headers), you can use %Stream.FileCharacter to read it line by line and parse the data.
ClassMethod ImportCSV(filePath As %String) As %Status { Set stream = ##class(%Stream.FileCharacter).%New() Set sc = stream.LinkToFile(filePath) If 'sc Quit sc
I am brand new to using AI. I downloaded some medical visit progress notes from my Patient Portal. I extracted text from PDF files. I found a YouTube video that showed how to extract metadata using an OpenAI query / prompt such as this one:
Hey Community! New rewards have arrived on Global Masters 🎁

Thirteen years ago, I attained dual undergraduate degrees in electrical engineering and math, then promptly started full-time at InterSystems using neither. One of my most memorable and stomach-churning academic experiences was in Stats II. On an exam, I was solving a moderately difficult confidence interval problem. I was running out of time, so (being an engineer) I wrote out the definite integral on the exam paper, punched it into my graphing calculator, wrote an arrow with “calculator” over it, then wrote the result.
After having some discussions at Global Summit and using a lot of package managers in my day to day development (npm,nuget,Chocolatey, etc) in addition to recently using the InterSystems Package Manager for some CICD process I'm building using Intersystems IRIS and IRIS 4 Health, I wanted an easy and integrated way to search/view/install packages related to the Intersystems tech stack.
SQL injection remains one of the most critical vulnerabilities in database-driven applications, allowing attackers to manipulate queries and potentially access or compromise sensitive data. In InterSystems IRIS, developers have access to both Dynamic SQL and Embedded SQL, each with distinct characteristics. Understanding how to use them securely is essential for preventing SQL injection.
Overview I'm excited to announce the release of testcontainers-iris-node, a Node.js library that makes it easy to spin up temporary InterSystems IRIS containers for integration and E2E testing. This project is a natural addition to the existing family of Testcontainers adapters for IRIS, including testcontainers-iris-python and testcontainers-iris-java.
Why testcontainers-iris-node? As a Node.js developer working with InterSystems IRIS, I often faced challenges when setting up test environments that mimic production. testcontainers-iris-node solves this by leveraging the testcontainers-node framework to create isolated IRIS environments on-demand.
This is particularly valuable for:
Integration testing with IRIS databases
Testing data pipelines or microservices
Automating test environments in CI pipelines
Features
Launches IRIS in Docker containers using Testcontainers
Supports custom Docker images and configuration
Wait strategies to ensure IRIS is ready before tests begin
Why Randomization is Key When Splitting Data for Machine Learning
Post: Essentially, Machine Learning is about learning from data. Having "good" data leads to better models, and more importantly, the quality of the information being used plays a crucial role in improving prediction accuracy.

A customer would like to connect an IRIS database to Metabase BI. But Metabase does not have a connector that supports the IRIS database.
Metabase only supports these databases:
- Amazon Athena - BigQuery (Google Cloud Platform) - Druid - MongoDB (recommend version 4.2 or higher) - MySQL (recommend version 8.0.33 or higher, as well as MariaDB version 10.4 or higher) - Oracle - PostgreSQL - Presto - Redshift (Amazon Web Services) - Snowflake - SparkSQL - SQL Server - SQLite - Vertica
Sometimes your client may request documentation of your BI or interoperability project in a formal document. In this case, MS Word is a good alternative, as it has an advanced editor that allows you to generate professional documentation. Now it's possible! The iris4word app has this functionality!
I would like to ask whether it is possible to run InterSystems API manager (IAM) on OpenShift. Is there some documentation describing how to do it? I was searching the forum as well as the internet and I have not found much unfortunately.
In this section, we will explore how to use Python as the primary language in IRIS, allowing you to write your application logic in Python while still leveraging the power of IRIS.
Hi, I'm wondering what are the diferences between a method or classmethod with the language set at tsql and a querry writen in sql. If anyone know if there is some difference and what they are, I would be glad to learn. 😊
Word documents are widely used in the market. Users frequently create contracts, memos, resumes, reports, analyses, and other documents that may require data from or captured by InterSystems IRIS. However, IRIS does not have an API, SDK, library, or adapter for this. This limitation no longer exists.
The new Open Exchange library iris4word (https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/iris4word) delivers an ObjectScript SDK where the developer passes any %DynamicObject as a parameter, a Word file template and then receives a ready document, with the structure and formatting defined in its template.
If you are investigating complex structured Globals this can become a rather boring typing exercise. Different from Global Explorer in System Management Portal Global-Inspector allows a kind of drill-down to dig deeper and deeper by subscript levels. You also have the option to see the stored content or to show only the subscript structures. Globals storing SQL Tables are probably not so thrilling, but in SYSTEM space you find real trees with completely different branches and twigs.

Hi, I have a code that copy a method to another class for analysis purpose.
I also want this method to appear first in the source code to easily use it in VSCode with the classmethod debug button and not search it in the numerous method of the modified class. Is there a way to do such a thing? I tried the placeAfter keyword but I can't find a way to make it really work as I want. Is their other ways to control the order of methods?
Welcome to Issue #23 of the InterSystems Ideas newsletter! These have been very busy two months, so let's look at the latest news from the Ideas Portal, such as:
✓ General Statistics ✓ Results of InterSystems Ideas Contest ✓ Community Opportunity Ideas
Imagine you’re walking down the street on a nice summer’s day, and someone walks up to you and says “Hey, you work at InterSystems, right? I’ve been hearing more and more about InterSystems IRIS lately. I know IRIS has its own programing language called ObjectBook? or InstaScript? OK, I admit it, I know it’s called ObjectScript! I know IRIS also supports Python. I’m a Python developer, so that sounds great to me. But I’m also interested in ObjectScript. For example, Python and other languages support collections. Does ObjectScript support collections?”
You’d answer “Of course!”
And then your new friend might get excited and start firing off more questions:
How many kinds of collections does ObjectScript support?
Can ObjectScript use Python collections?
Can Python use ObjectScript collections?
Which collection is best?
How would you answer? Well, you don’t have to worry about answering. All you’d have to do is send your new friend the URL of this long page.
Here's a teaser screenshot showing how the unit tests of the IPM project don't yet cover a feature that apparently allows an IPM repository to override its sort order.
Sending emails is a common requirement in integration scenarios — whether for client reminders, automatic reports, or transaction confirmations. Static messages quickly become hard to maintain and personalize. This is where the templated_email module comes in, combining InterSystems IRIS Interoperability with the power of Jinja2 templates.
Why Jinja2 for Emails
Jinja2 is a popular templating engine from the Python ecosystem that enables fully dynamic content generation. It supports:
Hello to all the Cache Experts out there and Happy Friday!
The company I work for uses Cache 2017.1.3 and we have been seeing intermittent errors in the Cache Error Trap when an SQL query runs. The error message looks like the error is occurring within the cached query routine that Cache auto-generates. Unfortunately, when I pulled up the routine in the SMP System Explorer, I only found an obj version, so was unable to look at any code.
