FHIR Side Chats

Hi everyone!

In the name of collaboration and #buildinpublic, I wanted to try something different this hackathon and share my experience from idea to final product. In short, my idea is to create an application or patient-facing website that can turn the contents of a conversation with an AI chat bot into FHIR compliant data structures. Back and forth chat style communication is one of the most natural ways humans share information and with the rise of ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and other AI chat bots, it seems like this style of communication will only become more prevalent in the future.

I've worked a little bit with the FHIR specifications in the past and I know that creating surveys can be a bit of a pain. Hopefully this project will make it a bit easier for patients to share data with their health care providers.

I'm excited to participate in this challenge and look forward to seeing what everyone else creates!

    I'm excited to give it a try!

    My current tech stack:
    - Python on the backend
    - TypeScript/React on the frontend (web)
    - Flutter on the frontend (Android/iOS)
    - Gemini Pro for the chat bot (https://ai.google.dev/tutorials/node_quickstart)
    - Rasa Open Source for the backup chat bot (https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/)

    The goal today is to get a the chat bot interface up and running. I haven't used Rasa before but it seems like an ideal framework for something like this.
