Experience from the Development of HL7 FHIR IG for Gatekeeper Project

Abstract

The GATEKEEPER (GK) Project was financed by the European Commission to develop a platform and marketplace to share and match ideas, technologies, user needs and processes to ensure a healthier independent life for the aging population connecting all the actors involved in the care circle. In this paper, the GK platform architecture is presented focusing on the role of HL7 FHIR to provide a shared logical data model to be explored in heterogeneous daily living environments. GK pilots are used to illustrate the impact of the approach, benefit value, and scalability, suggesting ways to further accelerate progress.
