- Tula on Telegram analyzing real longitudinal data (BP, wearables, genomics context)
- Live SMART on FHIR portal connect and record pull (patient-initiated, not agent-automated OAuth)
- Agent grounded in pulled FHIR bundles answering questions from your chart
- Preview of My Aria - patient-owned chart UI inspired by portal UX, built for multi-hospital life
This is the best entry point if you want to see the product work before reading the repo.
Technical background for the records pull: I gave an AI agent OAuth access to my hospital.
~17 minutes. Conversation with Paul Swider on why Tula exists, OpenClaw vs rented SaaS agents, open source, and health equity.
