FHIR has revolutionized the healthcare industry by providing a standardized data model for building healthcare applications and promoting data exchange between different healthcare systems. As the FHIR standard is based on modern API-driven approaches, making it more accessible to mobile and web developers. However, interacting with FHIR APIs can still be challenging especially when it comes to querying data using natural language.

Hey everyone, 

Here we are again. New year, new contest, new project, old reasons.

Triple Slash is in the house!

SQLBuilder is a flexible and powerful SQL query string builder for InterSystems IRIS,

With SQLBuilder you have nice and clean object oriented methods, instead of having to use concatenation and substituition to generate dynamic queries.

We're excited to announce a new feature on Open Exchange - app dependencies. Now, when you visit an app's page, you can easily see which other Open Exchange apps it depends on and which apps depend on it. This information is conveniently available in respective tabs, providing you with valuable insights.

The best part is, we automatically gather this information from IPM data, eliminating the need for manual data entry when submitting or managing your app. 

Your feedback is highly appreciated! Comment or DM us your thoughts.

Thanks!

Exciting news for developers using GitLab for their InterSystems applications repositories! Open Exchange has expanded its support to include GitLab, allowing you to submit your projects just as easily as you would do with GitHub repos.

ObjectScript is a powerful language used in InterSystems products like InterSystems IRIS, enabling developers to build robust applications. To enhance the ObjectScript development experience, the OwnObjectScriptExtension is a Visual Studio Code extension that provides a range of tools and features. In this article, we will explore how the OwnObjectScriptExtension can improve your ObjectScript development workflow.

Hi Developers, I am glad to announce Git for InterSystems IRIS, my first submission to OpenExchange and part of the current Developer Tools Contest.

Git for InterSystems IRIS is a source control package that aims to facilitate a native integration of the Git workflow with the InterSystems IRIS platform. It is designed to work as a transparent link between InterSystems IRIS and a Git-enabled code directory that, once setup, requires no user interaction. A detailed description can be found on GitHub.

This post explores the potential of OpenAI's advanced language models to revolutionize healthcare through AI-powered transcription and summarization. We will delve into the process of leveraging OpenAI's cutting-edge APIs to convert audio recordings into written transcripts and employ natural language processing algorithms to extract crucial insights for generating concise summaries.

Introduction

The healthcare industry is continuously evolving, and the need for efficient document management and patient data management is more critical than ever. In this article, we will focus on the specific aspects of integrating Google Docs and Google Sheets with FHIR data in the context of healthcare data interoperability.

Google Docs Integration for Clinical Documents

Problem

In a fast-paced clinical environment, where quick decision-making is crucial, the lack of streamlined document storage and access systems poses several obstacles. While storage solutions for documents exist (e.g, FHIR), accessing and effectively searching for specific patient data within those documents meaningfully can be a significant challenge.

Motivation

Introduction

A password manager is an important security tool that allows users to store and manage their passwords without the need to remember or write them down in insecure places. In this article, we will explore the development of a simple password manager using the Flask framework and the InterSystems IRIS database.

Key Features

Our password manager application will provide the following key features:

If you utilize Quality Code Analyzer  in your open source application this will be shown on Open Exchange:

1. On the main OEx page you can filter all the apps which passed Object Script Quality test

2. On the public application page (example) you will see that in info box:

3. On the page where you manage your apps you will see the quality check status:

No Data - if the Quality check is not installed in your repo
Passed - if the code passed the test
Failed - if the test was failed. This won't be shown on public app page

Hi Developers,

The annual competition for InterSystems IRIS developers is fast approaching! 

We're super excited to invite you all to join the Grand Prix contest for building open-source solutions using InterSystems IRIS data platform! 

🏆 InterSystems Grand Prix Contest 2023 🏆

Duration: June 12th - July 9th, 2023

Prize pool: $26,000

Hello Community!!

I just upload my lastest application "IRIS Api Tester" to the Open Exchange. 

It's a docker project with InterSystems IRIS + Newman that will allow you to test your Postman Collections in a quick and easy way..

It's ready to work out of the box, you just have to clone the repo: https://github.com/daniel-aguilar-garcia/irisapitester

Run the docker-compose file:

Open this url in your browser: 

http://localhost:52773/csp/user/index.html

Add some test to your Postman collection:

Scenario

You all know Open Exchange (OEX) and the is no need for a detailed explanation.

It consists of a directory with various filters and detail pages for packages.

This is great for manual navigation. 
But the most interesting information for me is the content of the blue box on the right.
All content comes from a database somewhere in the background and is not accessible to me and you.

Navigating manually over more than 700 packages in the search of a particular entity is not funny.
So  I decided to have my own table with my criteria of interest.

In this article, I will share the theme we presented at the Global Summit 2023, in the Tech Exchange room. Me and @Rochael Ribeiro 

In this opportunity, we talk about the following topics:

• Open Exchange Tools for Fast APIs
• Open API Specification
• Traditional versus Fast Api development
• Composite API (Interoperability)
• Spec-First or Api-First Approach 
• Api Governance & Monitoring
• Demo (video)

Open Exchange Tools for Fast APIs

As we are talking about fast modern APIs development (Rest / json) we will use two Intersystems Open Exchange tools:

The Telegram Adapter for InterSystems IRIS serves as a bridge between the popular Telegram messaging platform and InterSystems IRIS, facilitating seamless communication and data exchange. By leveraging the capabilities of the Telegram API, the adapter allows developers to build robust chatbots, automate tasks, and integrate Telegram with InterSystems IRIS applications.

The most common scenarios where the Telegram Adapter can be used include:

If one of your packages on OEX receives a review you get notified by OEX only of YOUR own package.   
The rating reflects the experience of the reviewer with the status found at the time of review.   
It is kind of a snapshot and might have changed meanwhile.   
Reviews by other members of the community are marked by * in the last column.

I also placed a bunch of Pull Requests on GitHub when I found a problem I could fix.    
Some were accepted and merged, and some were just ignored.     
So if you did a major change and expect a changed review just let me know.

Technology Strategy

When I started this project I had set myself limits:
Though there is a wide range of almost ready-to-use modules in various languages
and though IRIS has excellent facilities and interfaces to make use of them
I decided to solve the challenge "totally internal" just with embedded Python, SQL, ObjectScript
Neither Java, nor Nodes, nor Angular, PEX, ... you name it.
The combination of embedded Python and SQL is preferred. ObjectScript is just my last chance.

Is there a API specification for the ZPM / IPM package manager for anybody that would like to implement their own registry?

Hi community.

I'm trying to submit an application, but I get a error when I fill the field "GitHub URL". Have someone experienced this issue?

Programming and languages

Being a programmer nowadays is basically the geek version of being a polyglot. Of course, most of us here, in the InterSystems Community, “speak ObjectScript”. Howeever, I believe this wasn’t the first language for many people. For instance, I had never heard about it prior to getting the appropriate training at Innovatium.
