The FHIR DevDays videos do not get the attention they deserve.
Low view counts, no comments, a general lack of interest.
The reason for this may be that they are difficult to navigate on YouTube. The playlists render as a top-down list showing abbreviated titles for all 100+ videos.
Not user-friendly.
Try finding a relevant talk from a few years ago, when all you have is sketchy information. Valuable videos on a range of topics are scattered across the years.
With that in mind, I had Claude do a little work to aggregate the last 5 years of talks, categorize them and make them more easily accessible.
I built a light version of this for my own use a few months ago, and thought it would be useful to polish it and share it.
I limited it to 5 years, as things get old fast these days. AI and LLM talks from 2 years ago are of little value now, as are discussions about regulations from 2015.
But talks from implementers about real-world projects have genuine value, regardless of how recent they are. Those older videos are very relevant.
Each talk is sorted into one of 19 categories and contains the full title and speaker, along with the organization they worked for at the time.
They’re sorted by year, with the most recent first. Obvious duplicates have been removed, with only the latest talk displayed.
A search box near the top of the page makes finding talks about a specific topic or from a particular speaker or organization easier. You can quickly filter on an Implementation Guide, company name, speaker or topic.
Here’s a snapshot of me searching for DICOM talks.
The page was built by aggregating and merging data from the 5 YouTube playlists, along with the DevDays programs for the corresponding years.
Any obvious errors or mis-categorizations, let me know and I’ll update.
