They are turning HUMANS into a serverless & event-driven decentralized apps (using microservices APIs) by connecting u to the block⛓️ via smart contracts (gas ontology) using EHRs & other physio/biological metadata!

Building a FAIR (pronounced FEAR) API Ecosystem for Biomedical Knowledge
“BioThings” to refer to objects of any biomedical entity-type represented in the biological knowledge space, such as genes, genetic variants, drugs, chemicals, diseases, etc.
The emotion FEAR = FAIR = Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, & Reusability.
go-fair.org
Fear can be measured as an electrical signal & that signal first needs to be found, then it can be accessed digitally. By using FAIR principles & FHIR resources
build.fhir.org/overview-clin… the fear can become interoperable & reusable in biobanks/databases.

BioThings Studio is a pre-configured environment used to build & administer BioThings API. At its core is the Hub, a backend service responsible for maintaining data up-to-date, producing data releases, & updating API frontends.
docs.biothings.io/en/latest/…
BioThings SDK provides a Python-based software development toolkit to build high-performance data APIs (or web services) from a single data source or multiple data sources. It has the particular focus on building data APIs for biomedical-related entities (HUMANS), a.k.a “BioThings”, though it’s not necessarily limited to the biomedical scope.
It can be roughly divided into 2 main components: data hub component & web component.
The hub component allows developers to automate the process of monitoring, parsing & uploading ur data source to an Elasticsearch
elastic.co/elasticsearch backend.
From here, the web component, built on the high-concurrency Tornado Web Server,
tornadoweb.org/en/stable/ allows u to easily setup a live high-performance API. The API endpoints expose simple-to-use yet powerful query features using Elasticsearch’s full-text query capabilities & query language.

The SmartAPI Project
The SmartAPI project aims to maximize the FAIRness of web-based APIs.

x-bte
explorer.biothings.io/
x-bte is an app that creates a federated knowledge graph that is composed of a network of biomedical web services. x-bte leverages semantically precise annotations of inputs & outputs for each resource, & automates the chaining of web service calls to execute multi-step graph queries.
