Current triage systems often rely on the experience of admitting physicians. This can lead to delays in care for some patients, especially when faced with inexperienced residents or non-critical symptoms. Additionally, it can result in unnecessary hospital admissions, straining resources and increasing healthcare costs.

We focused our project on pregnant women and conducted a survey with friends of ours who work at a large hospital in São Paulo, Brazil, specifically in the area of monitoring and caring for pregnant women.

Hi Developers!

We are happy to present the bonuses page for the applications submitted to the Vector Search Programming Contest!

In the previous article, we saw in detail about Connectors, that let user upload their file and get it converted into embeddings and store it to IRIS DB. In this article, we'll explore different retrieval options that IRIS AI Studio offers - Semantic Search, Chat, Recommender and Similarity. 

New Updates  ⛴️ 

• Added installation through Docker. Run `./build.sh` after cloning to get the application & IRIS instance running in your local
• Connect via InterSystems Extension in vsCode - Thanks to @Evgeny Shvarov 
• Added FAQ's in the home page that covers the basic info for new users

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

Hi Community,

Thank you for participating in our recent mini-contest! We received many great ideas, and we hope you enjoyed the process.

The mastermind of the winning concept will receive 5,000 points, while the astute "investors" in said concept will receive 200 points each.

The Winning Concept: Senior people loneliness

 Loneliness experiences by older people and lack of conversations can negatively impact their mental well-being, concerning their families about difficulties in being able to ask for help on their own.

The Mastermind: Marcelo Dotti

The astute "investors":

A few months ago, I faced a significant challenge: streamlining the handling of business logic in our application. My goal was to extract the business logic from the code and hand it over to analysts. Dealing with a multitude of rules could easily result in a code littered with countless "if" statements, especially if the coder lacked an understanding of cyclomatic complexity. Such code becomes a source of pain for those working with it—difficult to write, test, and develop.

Hey Developers,

We are super excited to invite you all to the new InterSystems online programming contest focused on Java and its derivatives!

There are situations when your only access to a server is using a web browser,
and there is just no chance of a Terminal or Console access.
The Online Demo Server is such a case.

So you have WebTerminal. That's fine for ObjectScript and Embedded Python.

But my demo is straight Java. And is interactive.
$ZF(-100...) is some aproach. But it's rater batch-oriented and not interactive.
@Enrico Parisi  presented a nice extension to WebTerminal recently.
It's close to my own packageWebCommand that I presented a year ago.

Attention all developers!

Get ready to revolutionize your testing process with iris-tripleSlash, the ultimate unit test solution.

Say goodbye to boring and repetitive unit testing and hello to effortless and efficient testing.
