Medplum (YC S22) | Engineering | SF Onsite | Full-time
We're an healthcare infra company that is untangling the gordian knot that is the U.S. healthcare system. We make an open-source platform that healthcare startups and hospitals alike can build on top of. We take care of the infrastructure, compliance, auth, interop, and data quality, so providers can focus on building amazing patient experiences.
We're a small team of repeat founders, and we've worked at places like Microsoft, One Medical, Palantir, Y Combinator, and Meta.
We're experiencing great customer growth and are hiring user-facing eng roles to keep up with demand:
Yes it is! As we’ve worked with users, we’ve been continually impressed by how the FHIR spec handles complex real-world use cases. Because of this flexibility, we made the decision to store FHIR natively, rather than roll a custom schema under the hood and convert to FHIR on the fly.
One of the most complex Medplum projects is a large multi-party lab integration. We followed the US Core Lab Profile (https://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition-us-core-obs...). We not only represented the labs results in FHIR (ServiceRequest, Observation, DiagnosticReport), we also represented the full lab catalog (ObservationDefinition, ActivityDefinition, PlanDefinition).
Time after time, stakeholders would raise new requirements -- how do we model pregnancy status? how do we model multi-step lab tests? how do we model contextualized reference ranges? Time after time, the FHIR schema had a clear answer.
That goes a long way to simplifying and streamlining multi-party integrations, and cuts out a lot of wasted time trying to reinvent everything from scratch.
Sure! Firebase (https://firebase.google.com/) is what’s known as a Backend-as-a-Service platform. Offers a bunch of server-side services (including database storage, authentication, serverless edge functions, and image/media storage, etc.) hosted in the cloud and accessible via API. That way, application developers can focus on the user-facing experience, and use a standard platform for their backend.
Medplum expands on this concept by adding tools specific to digital health, such as a FHIR data schema for interoperability, EHR integration, and SMART App launching for embedding applications inside legacy EHRs
