Powering health data interoperability.
We’re on a mission to liberate closed silos of health data. We build open source developer tools for health care standards like FHIR with modern languages and frameworks.

Open FHIR Toolchain
Coming SoonAutomate Medical is building a TypeScript toolchain for FHIR from scratch. Soon, we will publish open sourced TypeScript definitions for all of the major versions of FHIR, validation tools, and ultimately a fully featured open source FHIR server.
Join the launch waitlistPFT Extractor
We independently developed a PFT (pulmonary function test) to FHIR Resource processing pipeline. PFT Extract is built to be cloud-native and is written in TypeScript - we use AWS Textract to OCR PFTs in their PDF format, automatically code LOINC-based medical data out of them, and translate them into FHIR Resources in JSON.
We passionately believe in making PFTs interoperable. We want to hear from public health authorities, chief medical officers, and pulmonary departments who are interested in the same thing.
