Experimental synthetic medical record event streaming service for development purposes. This is implemented using Node.js and is intended to be used as a mock streaming interface to facilitate front end development of SyntheticUSA. This implementation will be replaced with a more robust solution in the future once our SyntheticUSA models are complete.
First, install local dependencies
npm install
Place JSON FHIR files generated by Synthea in /data.
The prototype stream server will identify all events that have occured in these synthetic medical records, and will stream them out in random order using an EventSource interface at an adjustabe rate.
Start the development server
npm start
This will launch a Node.js HTTP server, listening on http://localhost:1337/events?eps=50. The eps parameter
allows you to adjust the rate at which the server sends out random events. This is useful for load testing on the front
end, before we have real synthetic data to use.
