The story begins with a major policy shift at the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s Department of Information Management. After Director-General Chien-Chang Lee took office, the department began promoting FHIR and SMART on FHIR to address the siloed nature of hospital information systems, and even invited one of the founders of SMART to Taiwan. FHIR’s support for multiple programming languages and its Docker-friendly ecosystem aligned perfectly with the author’s preferred technology stack. When the inaugural Taiwan Top 50 SMART Apps program—dubbed the healthcare sector’s equivalent of Taiwan’s 0050 ETF—was launched, the author submitted an application as an opportunity to put the idea to the test.
