Hey HN! After 4 years building NLP systems in the NHS, I got tired of writing endless wrapper code just to work with healthcare data. One of the core issues is most AI development happens in Python, but hospital systems speak healthcare standards like HL7 and FHIR with steep learning curves.

To confirm my experience, I looked through 402 open source healthcare AI repos on GitHub and found that almost half the infrastructure tools are just trying to solve interoperability problems.

So I built HealthChain to make working with healthcare data less painful. It lets you connect AI pipelines to data sources like FHIR APIs with built-in data converters and validation in a few lines of Python.

For more context and some pretty graphs on the Github survey results: https://jenniferjiangkells.substack.com/p/healthchain-buildi...

Happy to answer any questions and would love to hear from anyone working in healthcare AI or just curious about the space!
