InterSystems IRIS for Health™ is the world’s first and only data platform engineered specifically for the rapid development of healthcare applications to manage the world’s most critical data. It includes powerful out-of-the-box features: transaction processing and analytics, an extensible healthcare data model, FHIR-based solution development, support for healthcare interoperability standards, and more. All enabling developers to realize value and build breakthrough applications, fast. Learn more.
Hello Community,
We are excited to announce that registration is now open for the second cohort of the course:
🧑💻 Developing FHIR Applications Using Python 🧑💻
This hands-on program is designed for developers who want to build real-world FHIR applications using Python and InterSystems IRIS for Health.

📅 Second cohort starts March 29, 2026
In the modern healthcare landscape, finding clinically similar patients often feels like looking for a needle in a haystack. Traditional keyword searches often fail because medical language is highly nuanced; a search for "Heart Failure" might miss a record containing "Congestive Cardiac Failure."
I am excited to share iris-medmatch, an AI-powered patient matching engine built on InterSystems IRIS for Health. By leveraging Vector Search, this tool understands clinical intent rather than just matching literal strings.
## The Core Innovation: Semantic Clinical Search
`iris-medmatch` bridges the gap
The facial recognition has become the most popular method for validating people's identities, thus enabling access to systems, confirmation of personal and documentary data, and approval of actions and documents.
The challenges are related to performance when the database is very large, accuracy, and especially the privacy of biometric facial data. For these challenges, nothing is better than using InterSystems Vector Search, as it allows:
I need to reproduce a table (in fact a view, but let's start with a simple table 😊) in IRIS as the currently used in Oracle.
I need to expose/project one column to JDBC as CLOB, in my class I have the corresponding property defined as:
Property GlobStream As %Stream.GlobalCharacter;
In JDBC this column is projected as LONGVARCHAR, this is compliant with the documentation but I need to project it as CLOB.
In addition, I'm no expert in JDBC but wit seems that LONGVARCHAR has a Maximum Length 32,700 characters in JDBC, not quite enough for an arbitrary stream.
Is it possible to project a %St
There are always those who say that their child looks more like their mother or their father. How about using math and Artificial Intelligence to be sure? The facial-matching application can answer you.

This is an excellent candidate for a developer community post (like Dev.to, Medium, or the InterSystems Community). It bridges the gap between high-level architecture and hands-on implementation.
Here is the summarized article format.
As applications scale, handling heavy computational tasks synchronously becomes a bottleneck. Whether it's processing large data sets, sending high-volume emails, or managing API integrations, a decoupled architecture is essential.
I’ve recently developed %ZQueue, a process-ba
The Clinical Staff Master Data Management (CSMDM) system is a full-stack healthcare integration application built on InterSystems IRIS for Health. It centralizes and standardizes clinical staff metadata into a single authoritative repository, exposed through RESTful CRUD APIs and reusable backend methods.
The platform eliminates fragmented lookup tables and hardcoded mappings that commonly cause errors in HL7 and FHIR integration workflows, ensuring data consistency and interface reliability.
This approach can be applied to other domains
