At San Digital we know business start-ups are a wild thrilling ride (we are one too). Wild to the point of stormy. You want to make a difference and change the world for the better. Not to mention make some money.
At San Digital, we consider both technical and experience debt as part of any strategy or delivery. We talk with our customers about the debt they have, any debt they are building up, and the debt they want to pay off, so they get the outcomes they need to deliver the value they want.
San Digital has extensive experience developing apps for mobile devices, smartwatches, and smart TVs; using native and hybrid technologies such as Swift UI and React Native.
At San Digital, we believe the work we do today should positively impact the environment and not compromise the ability of future generations. It seems obvious, but large organisations continue to think sustainability is a box-ticking exercise and an inconvenience.
There are more than enough articles about agile software development; this post is about agility elsewhere.
We have been doing a deep-dive on FHIR implementations and tooling following our initial FHIR investigation. A critical area of investigation for any system, particularly a large distributed system with many clients and peers that need longevity and guided evolution is its type system. Use of a strict type system can have many benefits - interoperability, governance, data quality, security, performance, developer experience, reduced component complexity and the ability to evolve services with confidence
The San Digital team has worked with numerous organisations in both the public and private sectors to transform their applications architecture into a flexible and business-focused model. Working with events at scale is key to maintaining individual teams’ agility.

Continuing our series of posts on web protocols, we have been investigating more specialist protocols, in this case, “FHIR”. We have produced a document based on our research, investigations and experience.
