Is there a documentation/standard that could aid developers in designing their API to communicate with FHIR systems when using this model?
Hi there, we don’t have anything under HAI-DEF yet, but let me compile a few starting points for you.
Hi @fmahvar, I’m still looking forward to this pls ![]()
There isn’t a blanket answer to your question, but I will try to provide a high level one. If you narrow it down, I’d be happy to answer with more specifics.
Note: While HAI-DEF and this forum is about a growing collection of open models, I’m going to assume by “this model” you’re referring to MedGemma.
You’d augment MedGamma with “tool use” and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) methods to query underlying FHIR stores and feed JSONs or plain text to MedGemma.
For data retrieval, you’d be relying on HL7 FHIR spec where you query specific FHIR resources according to a FHIR profile using FHIR RESTful API. For the sake of conversation, let’s assume your data is in Google Cloud FHIR store and you have access to Vertex search on health data, your API calls would be pretty straight forward queries to the FHIR store and/or broader search queries depending on your use case.
Hope this helps.
Yeah, sure. Thanks a lot for your response.
I’ll go through the resources and then check out how it’d all work with what I’m trying to set up already.
Thanks again!
