# HealthChain

> An open-source Python SDK for healthcare AI — typed, validated FHIR tools your models and agents can trust, plus real-time EHR connectivity and production deployment.

HealthChain is an open-source Python SDK for building healthcare AI applications — type-safe FHIR resources with validation, agent tools served over MCP and LangChain, real-time EHR connectivity (FHIR APIs, CDS Hooks, SOAP/CDA), and production deployment tooling.
