Analysis and technical notes on interoperability and digital health.
PHP2Shell allows unauthenticated remote code execution on any PHP server, and OpenEMR is exploitable in its default configuration. Which versions are affected, why the Docker images and PAHO's AIOTP derivative are the tricky part, and what to do today.
Costa Rica's Health Interoperability Decree creates the National Health Interoperability Model: a federated architecture, the right to data availability, and laboratory and mammography over X-Road as the first use cases. What changes and what to address now.
AI already generates FHIR profiles, terminologies and examples in far less time. But a valid profile doesn't guarantee interoperability: the profiler's value shifts toward the use case, the actors and the transactions.
Costa Rica's Constitutional Chamber ruling on digital antimicrobial prescriptions isn't a brake on digital health — it's the signal that the country needs a national layer of trust for clinical data consent and governance.
How we at Meddyg built an alternative Patient Summary viewer with HL7 FHIR, based on the resources EDUS (CCSS) shares today.
OpenAI announced ChatGPT Health, a dedicated space within ChatGPT for health conversations. A look at HealthBench, its real-world scope, and why FHIR interoperability is the most interesting part for the clinical ecosystem.
Interoperability in health isn't just technology: FHIR is only the visible part of much bigger work across legal, organizational and semantic dimensions.
I put GraphQL to the test against real FHIR servers (SG-SICA and HAPI FHIR): the same queries, side by side with REST, measuring response time and payload size. The results: 70% to 80% faster, with much lighter JSON.
