Uploading Synthetic Patient Data to a HAPI FHIR server using Synthea and Python

I created a small python script to upload patient resources from bundle json files into a fhir server. When prototyping fhir apps I have normally used public fhir servers which are widely available. Here is a good list of publicly available fhir servers. However, most of these servers reset their data periodically. They also might not be always available. I decided to deploy a local fhir server so I have more control and can experiment with writing data and persisting more complex patient examples.

Zoom Cooking App with React

With quarantine on day who knows what I decided to create a basic app based on a class project from Human Computer Interaction and Design. One of my team projects I worked on at Georgia tech was to design an app that allowed you to cook a meal together online. This was a group project where we analyzed and developed a user interface for a video app for cooking. We created the basic layout but never implemented it as a functioning app. I decided to use the principles we learned from the project and make a zoom app where people can cook together and follow a recipe.
