Ultimately this is just an orchestration tool for publishing HL7v2 messages. You have to write your own pathways and segments, or push preconfigured HL7v2 messages. Take a look at the dashboard, you'll see what I mean[1].
Fairly sure they built this to test their HL7v2 store[2]. Also presuming it hasn't been very active given that Google surprisingly shut down their Healthcare division (and probably restarted it somewhere)[3].
Very interesting! I have been working with medical information standards for a while now. Recently, I took an interest in DICOM and ways to modernize it. For example by introducing streaming, caching, moving metadata to a FHIR ImagingStudy resource.
To me, specifically streaming and caching strategies to move the load of (often hopelessly legacy) hospital infrastructure are an interesting challenge.

It’s still early, so I’d like to give them the benefit of the doubt product-wise. Filling in the Typeform, however, indicates a $30/mo price tag (yes, another subscription), which seems to be a bit ridiculous.
Take a look at the Teltonika RUTX11[1] with a MIMO LTE antenna from Poynting[2]. Not cheap, but certainly got good results with it. I used Cellmapper[3] to check where the closest tower was.
I have heard that the Huawei ones that accept external antennas are also decent, be it with a much smaller featureset.
Exactly! I purchased a 4G router[1] with an external antenna to ensure a sufficiently good connection for four people on a small Croatian island. After three months, I am positive that most people would be perfectly fine (or even better off) with just a 4G antenna on their roof. Our speeds were around 50-120/10-20Mbps with a 60-100ms latency to Zoom's closest server, depending on the weather.
One problem - there is only so much bandwidth available in a certain portion of radio spectrum. If everyone started doing what you are doing then “most people” would be seeing pretty bad performance.
Wired is always better; especially in higher density environments. If you are in a rural or low density area then this is obviously less of an issue - but everyone moving to wireless would be an utter disaster where most people live.
