Was also inspired by seeing the AI based guide validation that Kereval demoed.
See example output here: fhir-testing.gazelle-platform.net/examples
It verifies softer requirements from the Best Practices IG and generates test cases based on the IG content.

Time for some updates from the #HL7WGM in Madrid this week! 🇪🇸
Let's start with the Connectathon over this weekend. My main focus was the #EHDS track with @hl7europe.bsky.social and comparing multiple profiles side-by-side for compatibility. I hacked together a little application to make a start.
