This is a FHIR web application written in Python and using Flask as the backend.

This app depends on Python 3 and a few Python packages outlined in the requirements.txt file.

We begin by creating a Python virtual environment using the venv module. This is done by running the command below from the "root" of this repo.

python3 -m venv venv                 # create a virtual environment called venv

source venv/bin/activate             # activate our virtual environment

pip3 install -r requirements.txt     # install all our dependencies into the virtual environment

After the above steps, we should be able to launch our app using the following command.

python3 src/fhir_patient_finder_synthea_ri.py    # for the patient finder app

python3 src/fhir_condition_finder_synthea_ri.py  # for the condition-patient app

This will start the app on port 5000. You can open your preferred browser and see the app running on http:https://localhost:5000
