FHIR => Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources
I began working with healthcare data using FHIR APIs a few years ago, and was immediately struck by the lack of useful tools for developers.
Everyone was using Postman. Development and testing was slooooow. QA was a nightmare. Sprint and business demos involved running Postman queries and browsing JSON results.
Painful!
So I built Vanya — an app for developers in the style of a database client, but with extras for FHIR.
It’s a quick viewer that shows the most recently updated resources, and allows the developer to drill down into connected resources (Patient, Procedure, Medication).
The raw JSON is still there to see, but the more common fields are presented in a results grid.
The backend is C# / .NET. The UI is Electron, with builds for Windows and Mac. (The Mac was a real pain to build and notarize — a post here on HN a few weeks ago helped with that.)
It’s being used right now by the teams I’m working with on a big real world project, and despite its lack of features (alpha version) is delivering real value and saving devs a lot of time.
I’d love any feedback from developers who work with FHIR or in the healthcare space. And anyone who’s able to test out the Mac versions.
