# Mindray uMEC 100 HL7 Forwarder

This application listens for HL7 messages from Mindray uMEC 100 patient monitors over TCP/IP, parses the vital signs, stores them in a local SQLite database, and immediately forwards them to a configured REST API endpoint. It includes a FastAPI-based dashboard to view status and readings.

## Requirements
- Python 3.12 (if running from source)
- Dependencies in `requirements.txt`

## Running the Application
The easiest way to start the application is using the provided `run.sh` script. This script will automatically set up the Python virtual environment, install dependencies, and start the application.

1. Install Python 3.12.
2. Edit `config.json` with your settings (target API URL, API token, etc.).
3. Run the following command in your terminal:
   ```bash
   ./run.sh
   ```

## Configuration (`config.json`)
- `hl7_host`: The IP address to listen on for HL7 connections (default: `0.0.0.0` for all interfaces).
- `hl7_port`: The TCP port to listen on (default: `6060`).
- `target_api_url`: The REST API URL to POST normalized vitals to.
- `api_token`: Bearer token for authenticating with the target API.
- `retry_interval_seconds`: How often to retry forwarding failed transmissions.
- `log_file`: Name of the log file.
- `database_url`: SQLite database URI.

## Building for Linux
To package the application as a standalone executable for Linux:
1. Ensure you have installed the requirements (`pip install -r requirements.txt`).
2. Run `./build.sh` from your terminal.
3. The standalone executable `MindrayHL7Forwarder` will be generated in the `dist/` directory.

### Running the Linux Executable
Simply copy the `MindrayHL7Forwarder` binary and `config.json` to the target Linux machine and run `./MindrayHL7Forwarder`. It does not require Python to be installed. The Dashboard API will be available at `http://localhost:8000/docs`.

## Dashboard APIs
When the application is running, it starts a web server on port `8000`. You can access the following endpoints:
- `GET /api/health`
- `GET /api/status`
- `GET /api/devices`
- `GET /api/latest-readings`
- `GET /api/transmission-logs`
