Demonstrates iOS Health Record capture using SMART Markers

A prototype iOS app that pulls health records from Apple Health, converts FHIR 1.0/DSTU2 data to FHIR R4 via the SMARTMarkers framework, and submits it to a FHIR server endpoint. It's aimed at clinical researchers or EHR integrators who need to bridge Apple Health data into a standards-compliant FHIR pipeline.

The FHIR 1.0→R4 conversion is the real work here — most iOS health apps just read HealthKit types and ignore FHIR versioning entirely. Using SMARTMarkers as a shared dependency rather than reinventing the wheel is the right call. The recursive submodule setup means you get a reproducible build of the full dependency graph, which matters when the dependencies are also research prototypes. MIT license means it's actually usable as a reference.

Dead since November 2020 — five years without a commit, and the iOS ecosystem has moved significantly (Swift concurrency, updated HealthKit APIs, FHIR R4 is now the baseline not the target). The build setup is a nightmare: three separate Xcode project files must be manually dragged in, with no SPM or CocoaPods path, and compiled objects are checked into the repo (.o files in CLIPSiOS.framework). One star, one fork — this was a research prototype that was never meant to be maintained.
