Google Health Launches An Open Source Toolkit For Digital Health App Developers

Google Health is releasing a suite of five open-source modular components, collectively called Open Health Stack (OHS), for developers to use when building digital health applications. Developers can use the OHS tools to quickly build apps that allow health care workers to access information and insights needed to support decision-making.

The new suite was formally introduced March 14 at Google Health's annual event, The Check Up. OHS is designed to meet the specific needs of developers and implementers building and deploying Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)-based solutions for health care workers. FHIR is the latest update . . .
