Introduction to the Android FHIR SDK
summary
A set of Kotlin libraries on GitHub that aim to make offline‑capable FHIR Android apps simpler by providing a questionnaire UI, local FHIR store, sync and workflow primitives. The repo includes Kotlin libraries organized as SDC, Engine, Workflow; the engine stores JSON resources with index tables, supports R4, uses SQLCipher + Android Keystore, offers a Kotlin DSL search, and a sync API that uses PUT for create PATCH for updates. On‑device CQL via $apply generates CarePlans, real projects (OpenSRP, a Nigeria pilot, WHO SMART demos) use it, an access proxy enforces patient subsets, conflicts are first‑writer wins, and a purge API is planned.
