WebSocket
Retrieving Observations from Kligo synchronously using a WebSocket client.
ws://localhost:63336/There is only one channel you can subscribe to:
v3/ObservationThe Channel
v3/Observation provides Observation resources as defined in the FHIR STU3 release in real time.Here are two examples of payload you can retrieve from this channel.

Depending on the device you are using the observation can look a bit different:
- simple: When you use a simple device like a weight scale or a thermometer for instance, you will get only one simple measurement attached to the observation (e.g. weight for the scale or temperature for the thermometer). Therefore you can directly access the measurement in the
valueQuantityproperty. - composed: When you use a pulse oximeter or a blood pressure monitor for instance, you will get two or three different kinds of measurements (e.g. heart rate and spO2 for the pulse oximeter or systolic, diastolic blood pressure for the blood pressure monitor). Therefore the measurements are gathered in the
componentproperty.
For more details on how to retrieve information from the payload please refer to the schema section.

Here are some of the noticeable properties:
property | description |
valueQuantity | |
valueQuantity.system | defines the system defining the previous code |
valueQuantity.unit | defines the unit in which the quantity is expressed i.e. C for a body temperature |
valueQuantity.value | defines the actual value of the quantity
i.e. 37 for a body temperature |
device | |
device.reference | defines the id of the device used to take the measurement i.e. 5d1a2fefa37f4d0017966643 |
device.display | defines the type of device used to take the measurement i.e. thermometer |
effectiveDateTime | represents the time at which the measurement was taken i.e. 2019-12-10T14:08:48.645Z |
code | |
code.coding | describes what the measure is and how we can reference it in a specific system. |
code.coding.code | describes the code used to define the measurement i.e. 8310-5 |
code.coding.system | defines the system related to the code i.e. http://loinc.org |
code.coding.display | a human readable version of the code |
Here is an example for listening to Observation using a simple web socket javascript client:
JavaScript
const ws = new WebSocket("ws://localhost:63336/v3/Observation");
ws.onopen = function open() {
console.log("opened");
setConnected(true);
};
ws.onclose = function close() {
console.log("closed");
setConnected(false);
};
ws.onmessage = function data(event) {
const observation = JSON.parse(event.data);
console.log(observation);
};
