Healthcare companies using Elixir?
At HCA Healthcare (500k employees and contractors), we’re currently experimenting with Elixir for both data integration (to handle parsing, routing and manipulating millions of messages to tens of thousands of connections) and also using it in our data science department.
I know that another Nashville healthcare company, Aspire, is using Elixir heavily in production.
With increased demand for realtime IoT data and predictive analytics, Elixir seems like a great fit for the coming needs in our industry.
We are trying to drive adoption by releasing open source projects in the language. Our first release recently went live for HL7 (the old international standard for healthcare messages).
We should hopefully be releasing an MLLP library (an old streaming protocol used heavily healthcare) and we are currently working on an Elixir FHIR library (the new international healthcare messaging standard).
I’m curious if other healthcare companies are working in Elixir right now? I’d love to connect and help push the language into our industry as I believe it could be incredibly beneficial (and save lives through better healthcare for everyone!).

They actually have a huge Elixir project in Ukraine, it was used to reform and digitalise the healthcare system.
It’s also open source https://github.com/edenlabllc/ehealth.api
Here’s a talk about it:

I have been working on EMR system Helium Health and whole application is written in Elixir. I also have been working on FHIR implementation in Elixir, but since then I have switched the job.

My brother (family physician) and I started a direct primary care practice in South Carolina. We ended up building a lot of tools to run the practice and now sell them at https://scalpel.com/. We handle note taking, scheduling, internal/external communication, patient surveys, invoicing, online booking, and more. So there are at least two EMRs built in elixir. @darkmarmot let me know if you want to chat more about what we’re doing.
