Thanks, Jamie, great idea.

Did you consider providing an API like FHIR (e.g. in conjunction with GraphQL) from Sanity to other services? This would make integration a charm. hl7.org/fhir/graphql.html

Hey Lukas thanks for the comment. I’m not familiar with this so I will take a look and make a note of your suggestion.

At the moment the aim of the project was to get something online that people can use/try and deliver some immediate feedback. But I’m constantly thinking of ways to expand the project and likewise excited to hear other opinions/suggestions.

Thanks again for taking the time to read. I’ll check out your link now 🙏

On the back of this, Sanity has a graphql api and as part of the setup for HeySugar you have to deploy this API for Gatsby to integrate with Sanity. Therefore, if I’ve understood right, we’ve got the graphql data there already to integrate!

That is already good to hear - there would be considerations to make - in order to make your side "compatible"/interoperable with FHIR - the process is kind off daunting - but would make a huge difference. Because it could possibly connect to healthcare systems.

If you are interested, this would make it very interesting!
