The Sparked Symposium: Sparking the FHIR
Overview
Let’s ignite the Sparked Symposium (Virtual) in May 2025, where innovation and collaboration take centre stage!
The Sparked Symposium is a one-day virtual leadership event, providing the digital health community an opportunity to hear from digital health and standards leaders from Australia and across the globe. This event will also celebrate the incredible contributions of the Sparked community and what has been achieved since the Sparked launch. This is designed not just for the Sparked community, but the Australian and international digital health community to see the progress the accelerator made. This will be further demonstrated by a vendor showcase to show AU Core, AU Patient Summary, and AU eRequesting interoperability standards in action.
