PreNUDGE FHIR® IG for Data Provider / Data from Apps (R4) - Local Development build (v0.1.0) built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) Build Tools. See the Directory of published versions

Resource Profile: AT PreNUDGE Observation ( Abstract )

Official URL: https://fhir.hl7.at/prenudge/appdata/r4/StructureDefinition/at-prenudge-observation Version: 0.1.0
Draft as of 2026-03-24 Responsible: The PreNUDGE Consortium Computable Name: AtPrenudgeObservation

This FHIR profile is defining the overall Observation for PreNUDGE. It is abstract, so no instances of this profile directly are allowed. Be aware that if the user enters values from a device into a questionnaire, it is still considered a manual input. Please keep in mind that all observations must comply with the qualification matrix on https://prenudge.at/qualificationmatrix/.
