Generation of Canadian patient data

[ToInf1n1tyAndBeyond]

Can anyone tell me if there is support for generating Canadian patient data using Synthea?

[jawalonoski]

Yes, it can be done.

For example, please go to https://synthea.mitre.org/downloads and scroll down to the heading "Oh Canada!"

Also, please see our Wiki:

• https://github.com/synthetichealth/synthea/wiki/Other-Areas
• https://github.com/synthetichealth/synthea/wiki/Other-Areas---Canada

And finally, the necessary files:

Thank you!

I just applied the updated files and am getting the following error...

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "String.toUpperCase()" because the return value of "org.mitre.synthea.world.geography.Location.getAbbreviation(String)" is null

I'm sure it's not hard to fix but in my current role I'm not set up with developer/coding tools. Was just curious if anyone else had experienced this error with Canadian source files and if there was a quick fix.

I've been able to update the base code and supporting files to generate Canadian patients.

I've struggled with the same issue. Following the instructions as they're described, but I'm sure I'm missing some basic step.
