2. 2. Login to the portal
3. 3. Create new self-hosted Aidbox License or use the license that you already have

Enable Patients data access API

To enable safe Patients API add necessary imports to the zrc/main.edn file.

{ns main
 import #{aidbox
          aidbox.patient-api.v1 ;; import safe API
          config}
 
 box
 {:zen/tags #{aidbox/system}
  :config   config/base-config
  :services {:admin-user-seed config/admin-user-seed
             :root-client-seed config/root-client-seed}}}

To start Aidbox run the command in the aidbox-project directory.

docker compose up --force-recreate

When Aidbox starts, navigate to the http://localhost:8888 and sign in to the Aidbox UI using the credentials admin / password.

Ensure Patient data access API works

Create sample resources

Use Aidbox UI Rest Console to create nested Organization resources.

PUT /
content-type: text/yaml

- id: pt-1
  resourceType: Patient
- id: pt-2
  resourceType: Patient
- id: obs-1
  resourceType: Observation
  status: registered
  code:
    coding:
    - system: http://loinc.org
      code: 15074-8
      display: Glucose [Moles/volume] in Blood
  subject:
    resourceType: Patient
    id: pt-1

You should have 2 Patients and 1 Observation resources.

Patient/pt-1
└── Observation/obs-1

Patient/pt-2

Check safe Patient access API works

Patient/pt-1 sees its data&x20;

GET /patient/fhir/Observation/obs-1
content-type: text/yaml
X-Patient-Id: pt-1

Patient/pt-2 cannot see other Patient's data&x20;

GET /patient/fhir/Observation/obs-1
content-type: text/yaml
X-Patient-Id: pt-2
