Yes it was - it was internal to our company, but the apps got sold off when the business downsized. The engineering team lobbied to have the main backend open sourced, partly because it made the divestment of the apps built on it easier.

The architecture was that that was a backend for apps, and the individual apps would host a stateless BFF service to translate the backend into what they needed, and then the web/mobile apps would talk to that. HAPI FHIR was integrated for testing reasons; it also spoke HL7v2, for our sins.

Was there anything else at Sensyne that could have been open-sourced and/or of value to the community?

I may be in a position to open some of that up before it's lost.

I'm curious :-)

I think the only other useful thing that wasn't added to the Foundation was some HL7 integration code that would sit in a customer environment and forward on requests to that backend securely. I believe that moved on with the software that it was primarily developed for, though, which is an in-hospital tablet based system for recording patient observations.
