🧪 ASTM Integration Demo with InterSystems IRIS for Health

This simple demo showcases how InterSystems IRIS for Health can be used to simulate ASTM-based communication between a laboratory instrument and a host system. ASTM is a common protocol used in laboratory environments to exchange queries and results.

This project includes two interoperable productions:

• One acting as a lab instrument
• One acting as a host system

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Setup

To spin up the environment, run the following commands:

docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d

Once the containers are running, you can access the InterSystems Management Portal at:

• http://localhost:52773/csp/sys/UtilHome.csp
  (Username: superuser, Password: SYS)

⚙️ Interoperability Productions

There are two pre-configured InterSystems IRIS productions:

🎛 Instrument.Production

This production simulates a lab instrument sending ASTM query and result messages.

• 📍 Access it here:
  Instrument.Production

🖥 Host.Production

This production simulates a host system that receives messages and provides appropriate ASTM replies.

• 📍 Access it here:
  Host.Production

✉️ Simulate Messages

You can simulate two types of ASTM message flows: Query and Result.

🔍 Query Simulation

Simulates the instrument querying the host for pending analysis.

1. Copy the file:

   cp test/query.astm test/instrument-in/

2. The instrument will process it and receive a response.
3. The reply will be available in:

   test/instrument-out/
   

✅ Result Simulation

Simulates the instrument sending test results to the host.

1. Copy the file:

   cp test/result.astm test/instrument-in/

2. Observe how the message is handled and processed by the host system.
