Relevant for my master thesis is the following: the ObservationFactory class was extended by all data types required for the master thesis. ECG, audiograms, workouts, categories and characteristic data from the HealthStore can now be converted to FHIR Observations.
The modified HealthKitToFhir Swift Library provides a simple way to create FHIR® Resources from HKObjects.
HealthKitToFhir uses Swift Package Manager to manage dependencies. It is recommended that you use Xcode 11 or newer to add HealthKitToFhir to your project.
- Using Xcode 11 go to File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency
- Paste the project URL: https://github.com/Boogy2/healthkit-to-fhir-MSC
- Click on next and select the project target
Resources are created using "Factory" classes that can be initialized with an optional JSON configuration to provide additional conversion data used to decorate the Resource. In the example below, an observation factory is initialized with no configuration.
do {
let factory = try ObservationFactory()
} catch {
// Handle errors
}
do {
let observation = try factory.observation(from: healthKitObject)
} catch {
// Handle errors
}
Additional observation conversions can be added by providing a custom configuration to the ObservationFactory when it is initialized at runtime.
- HKQuantityTypeIdentifierHeartRate
- HKCorrelationTypeIdentifierBloodPressure
- HKQuantityTypeIdentifierBloodPressureDiastolic
- HKQuantityTypeIdentifierBloodPressureSystolic
- HKQuantityTypeIdentifierStepCount
- HKQuantityTypeIdentifierBloodGlucose
- HKQuantityTypeIdentifierOxygenSaturation
- HKQuantityTypeIdentifierBodyMass
- HKQuantityTypeIdentifierBodyTemperature
- HKQuantityTypeIdentifierRespiratoryRate
- HKQuantityTypeIdentifierHeight
- HKQuantityTypeIdentifierRestingHeartRate
- HKQuantityTypeIdentifierHeartRateVariabilitySDNN
- HKQuantityTypeIdentifierWalkingHeartRateAverage
- HKQuantityTypeIdentifierAppleExerciseTime
- HKQuantityTypeIdentifierAppleStandTime
- HKQuantityTypeIdentifierActiveEnergyBurned
- HKQuantityTypeIdentifierEnvironmentalAudioExposure
- HKQuantityTypeIdentifierDietaryEnergyConsumed
The DeviceFactory will extract data provided in HKObject device and sourceRevision properties to create a Device Resource. No configuration is required for this conversion.
HealthKitToFhir uses JSON configuration files to provide additional data required to perform conversions from HealthKit HKObjects to FHIR Resources. The DefaultObservationFactoryConfig.json contains conversion data for the ObservationFactory class to support the types listed above.
The example below shows data used for converting an HKQuantitySample containing a Blood Glucose reading to a FHIR Resource. The HKObject type identifier is used to look up data required to populate the Observation, this includes the code and valueQuantity properties of the Blood Glucose Observation. This "static" data will be "copied" to the Observation during the conversion process, while values like the measurement, date, and identifier will be converted from properties of the HKObject.
