Introducing FHIRCraft: a simple synthetic FHIR resource generator

Let me introduce you to FHIRCraft, a lightweight tool to generate synthetic FHIR resources.

Now, you might be thinking:
“But wait — doesn’t Synthea already do that, and with tons of resources?”
Exactly — and that’s precisely why I created this app.

FHIRCraft is designed to generate simpler, smaller, and more focused FHIR resources. Unlike Synthea, it doesn’t aim to simulate entire patient histories or clinical workflows. Instead, it helps when you’re just getting started with FHIR — when you want to test things incrementally, or explore how specific resources behave in isolation.

In its current version, FHIRCraft can generate:

• Patient
• Practitioner
• Appointment
• Observation

But thanks to its modular design, it can easily be extended to support more resource types.

Give it a try and see what you think! 🚀

P.S. This application was built as a submission to the InterSystems FHIR and Digital Health Interoperability Contest.
