Ruby RPCBroker interface for VA's VistA EMR

As part of our ongoing product development for our first healthcare software product CompleteNote, we have created a Ruby library which offer the ability to make API calls into the Veteran's Administrations electronic medical record system. The API in this case the RPC Broker mechanism that the existing GUI clients use. We have tested it with Medsphere's OpenVistA, and will be testing it with WorldVistA. Once it is ready, we will release it to the open source community as a gem.
It's pretty cool. We are able to use the power of Ruby to quickly pull data out of and push data into VistA.

Apple iOS is coming soon....

Healthcare direction

We were awarded a Small Business Innovation Research Grant from the NIH to conduct the principal research behind our first healthcare software product, CompleteNote!!
We were extremely pleased with our results, that being demonstrating the capability of replicating a physician's ability to diagnose and treat patients using our machine learning algorithms. Using actual clinical care notes as a source, we achieved a 97% prediction accuracy!

We have submitted our Phase II grant application to the NIH and hope to get good news at the end of summer.

More updates coming....
