Jared Goodner here (cofounder of Akido) - We're super excited to see what the HN crowd can do with a RESTful API for hospital data! Check out our first blog post for some very simple examples.<p><a href="https://www.akidolabs.com/blog/hello-world" rel="nofollow">https://www.akidolabs.com/blog/hello-world</a>
Speaking as a physician, I'm deeply heartened by any attention to health care software from outside of the entrenched players.<p>Most current EMRs are execrable. Their difficulty is not only frustrating and user-hostile, but potentially unsafe.
This is cool! I couldn't quite tell from the article, but do you see this as an alternative to Prime and, if so, how is it different?<p>EDIT: One more question: the article says you've reached 200 hospitals already. That's impressive. Are those signed contracts? Or verbal commitments? Can you say a little about how you achieved that?<p>Good luck at demo day too!
Is Akido something like BlueButton+ [1] but which is used (about to be used) by real EHR systems at real hospitals?<p>If yes, I'd love to give it a try.<p>[1] <a href="http://bluebuttonplus.org/" rel="nofollow">http://bluebuttonplus.org/</a>
Congratulations! A welcome change in healthcare.<p>Are you building a relationship with the hospitals and clinics so that we wont't have to talk to them, but just use your api to get and push our patient's data?
When I put in my email and click 'Get Early Access', nothing happens and the following is printed to the console (Firefox 36.0.1):<p>TypeError: t.toElement is undefined [developers.js:1:31160]
Is Akido Labs meant to be hired by hospitals to support easier integration with vendors? Or meant to be used by HIT vendors to more easily offer integration with different hospitals?
Looks awesome!<p>If the Healthcare provider EHR is already compatible with FHIR. What incentive do I have to use your API? Are you also hosting the Healthcare and patient data?
