InterSystems FHIR as a Service and IRIS For Health - 3 points

We invite all developers to build new or test existing applications using InterSystems FHIR Server (FHIRaaS). Sign in to the portal, make the deployment and start using your InterSystems FHIR server on AWS in your application for the programming contest.

You can also build an FHIR application using InterSystems IRIS for Health, docker version. You can take the IRIS-FHIR-Template which prepares the FHIR server during the docker image building. The documentation for FHIR  API 4.0.1 could be found here. Learn more in InterSystems IRIS for Health documentation.

IntegratedML usage - 4 points

1. Use InterSystems IntegratedML in your AI/ML solution. Here is the template that uses it. 

2. Data import tools:

Interoperability Productions with BPL or DTL - 3 points

One of the key features of IRIS Interoperability Productions is a business process, which could be described by BPL (Business Process Language).

Learn more about Business Processes in the documentation.

Business Rule is a no-code/low-code approach to managing the processing logic of the interoperability production. In InterSystems IRIS you can create a business rule which you can create visually or via the ObjectScript representation.

You can collect the Business Process/Business Rule bonus if you create and use the business process or business rule in your interoperability production.

 

Production EXtension (PEX) Usage - 2 points

PEX is a Python, Java or .NET extension of Interoperability productions. 

You get this bonus if you use PEX with Python, JAVA or .NET in your interoperability production. 

PEX Demo.

Learn more on PEX in Documentation.

InterSystems IRIS has Python Pex module that provides the option to develop InterSystems Interoperability productions from Python. Use it and collect 3 extra points for your application. It's OK also to use alternative python.pex wheel introduced by Guillaume Ronguier.

You can also use Python Interoperability which is a PEX addon module for InterSystems IRIS on python provided by @Guillaume Rongier 
that gives the opportunity to develop InterSystems IRIS interoperability solutions in clear python.

Article to use PEX for Hugging Face, example.

Adaptive Analytics (AtScale) Cubes usage - 3 points
InterSystems Adaptive Analytics provides the option to create and use AtScale cubes for analytics solutions.

You can use the AtScale server we set up for the contest (URL and credentials can be collected in the Discord Channel) to use cubes or create a new one and connect to your IRIS server via JDBC.

The visualization layer for your Analytics solution with AtScale can be crafted with Tableau, PowerBI, Excel, or Logi.
