Standardizing Medical Data Interoperability: Utilizing Health Connect and FHIR
Format danych PHR | Android health & fitness Android Developers
Summary
Google has published guidelines for handling medical data through Android Health & Fitness. This system adopts the HL7 FHIR format, providing a mechanism to uniformly manage and link various types of medical information (allergies, conditions, medications, etc.).
Details
This article is developer documentation from Google regarding technical specifications for handling electronic health records and health data in mobile environments. Medical data must be stored in the HL7 FHIR format (R4, R4B), defining standardized resources for specific medical information types such as allergies, conditions, medications, and vital signs. These data are managed through Health Connect, linking corresponding permissions and FHIR resource types to each data type. Furthermore, detailed technical specifications are provided regarding JSON validation rules and business logic (e.g., unique identifiers, presence of required fields) to maintain data integrity. This serves as crucial reference material for designing data linkage infrastructure when implementing systems in Japanese healthcare settings. Of particular note is the use of LOINC codes for standardizing specific clinical measurements, such as observation results or lifestyle data. This ensures interoperability when exchanging data between different medical institutions and applications.
