Creating a patient centred mobile app using FHIR
summary
Mobile app implements FHIR Questionnaire and Observation resources (Questionnaire for EQ‑5D‑5L, earlier EORTC QLQ‑C30 replaced for brevity), native iOS/Android front end rendering questionnaires via a Stencil web component in a WebView, backend proxy to a HAPI FHIR server with Keycloak auth, and periodic import from Google Fit/Apple Health into Observations. User testing includes a six‑week usability run and ongoing simulation where a sensor‑based QoL score is calculated and compared to validated questionnaire results to validate accuracy. Practical lessons: version control/implementation guide needed, offline proxy reduces requests, and publishing stores takes extra time.
