Google Releases Kotlin FHIR: Open-Source Library for Multiplatform Interoperability
Interopérabilité santé : Google lance Kotlin FHIR multiplateforme - GoodTech.info
Summary
Google has announced 'Kotlin FHIR,' an open-source library supporting Kotlin Multiplatform for the FHIR standard. This allows developers to build healthcare applications from a single codebase and deploy them across multiple platforms, including Android, iOS, and Web.
Details
According to the article, 'Kotlin FHIR' was developed by Google’s Open Health Stack team and provides a lightweight, modern implementation based on the FHIR standard. Previously, FHIR libraries were often limited to single technical environments, but this new library overcomes that limitation, enabling data manipulation across multiple platforms. FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) is gaining recognition as the global standard for secure and transparent medical data exchange, with regulatory adoption increasing in many countries. Kotlin FHIR utilizes KotlinPoet to automatically generate data models from official FHIR specifications, offering developers an efficient and type-safe experience. Although currently in alpha, the library is expected to pave the way for extending advanced features of existing Android SDKs into a multiplatform environment. Google encourages contributions from the open-source community, aiming to build a robust toolchain for developing comprehensive healthcare applications.
