InterSystems FHIR and Digital Health Interoperability Contest

#Contest #Events #FHIR #HL7 #Interoperability #Health Connect #InterSystems IRIS for Health #IRIS contest

Hi Developers,

We have exciting news! The new InterSystems online programming contest dedicated to all things health-related will start very soon! 

🏆 InterSystems FHIR and Digital Health Interoperability Contest 🏆

Duration: January 15 - February 4, 2024

Prize pool: $14,000

 

The topic

Develop any interoperability FHIR solution or Healthcare Interoperability solution or a solution that helps to develop or/and maintain interoperability solutions using InterSystems IRIS for Health, Health Connect, or FHIR server.  

General Requirements:

  1. An application or library must be fully functional. It should not be an import or a direct interface for an already existing library in another language (except for C++, there you really need to do a lot of work to create an interface for IRIS). It should not be a copy-paste of an existing application or library.
  2. Accepted applications: new to Open Exchange apps or existing ones, but with a significant improvement. Our team will review all applications before approving them for the contest.
  3. The application should work either on IRIS Community Edition or IRIS for Health Community Edition. Both could be downloaded as host (Mac, Windows) versions from Evaluation site, or can be used in a form of containers pulled from InterSystems Container Registry or Community Containers: intersystemsdc/iris-community:latest or intersystemsdc/irishealth-community:latest .  
  4. The application should be Open Source and published on GitHub. 
  5. The README file to the application should be in English, contain the installation steps, and contain either the video demo or/and a description of how the application works.
  6. Only 3 submissions from one developer are allowed.

NB. Our experts will have the final say in whether the application is approved for the contest or not based on the criteria of complexity and usefulness. Their decision is final and not subject to appeal.

    UPDATE

    Recently we introduced a yet another Instruqt interactive foundation course on Digital Health Interoperability with IRIS for Health - please give it a try here! It will help everyone who is new to InterSystems Digital Health Interoperability productions to go through several simple but illustrating scenarios and get a great foundation for building your ones!

    Enjoy!

    Hi @Momeena Ali,
    It's great to hear that so many people are working on creating apps.
    So that we can tag all developers, it will be better to divide 3 people per application.
    I also ask you to tell your colleagues to register on the community website, so we can highlight them in the application description.
    And please tell us who worked on which application so that we can correctly tag everyone.
    Thank you. Have a good day!
