Objectives: Develop a cloud server to enable interoperability between different healthcare web applications regarding authentication protocol for IoT (Internet of Things) applications and user interface applications. Method: TThe server sends and receives data in the FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standard. The server authenticates applications with user interfaces using SMART (Substitutable Medical Apps and Reusable Technologies) on FHIR while IoT applications are registered in advance to authenticate with SMART on FHIR. Results: A third-party FHIR application was modified to authenticate by using the proposed server instead of the original one. A prototype IoT device was developed to perform authentication with the server. The server successfully authenticated both applications. Conclusions: Third-party applications and IoT devices communicating with the proposed SMART on FHIR server prove the interoperability and security of this work.
