Synthea Patient Generator
An open-source synthetic patient population simulator that generates realistic (but not real) patient data and health records in multiple formats.
What is Synthea Patient Generator?
Synthea is an open-source synthetic patient population simulator that generates realistic, but not real, patient data and electronic health records. It models patients' entire medical histories from birth to death, including encounters, conditions, and treatments, to support healthcare software development, testing, and research. The tool outputs data in standard healthcare formats like HL7 FHIR and C-CDA.
Healthcare software developers, clinical researchers, data scientists, and organizations needing synthetic patient data for application development, testing, training, or research without privacy concerns.
Developers choose Synthea for its comprehensive, rules-based simulation of patient lifecycles, support for multiple healthcare data standards, and extensible modular design, providing a robust, privacy-safe alternative to real patient data for building and testing health IT systems.
