Played around with this in my soon-to-be previous health-tech job and its great.

Actually the entire hl7-fhir ( https://www.hl7.org/fhir/ ) standard seems to me quite solid. It would be wonderful if a new cohort of start-ups would leverage it to drastically improve the digital UX of healthcare generally.

That would be great except that the 8,000 lb gorillas of the medical data industry, at least as of a year or two ago, did next to nothing to really make their EHR's FHIR-compatible. Getting even some of the very basics on their demo environments were fundamentally broken.

Yeah so many cards stacked against potential start-ups who could potentially bring some quality to the industry :/ Curious to see though that Google cloud / AWS etc are building fhir store APIs.

How did you like the health-tech industry? It is something I have been considering but have heard mostly negative opinions.
