If you work with HL7, FHIR, or NCPDP, you’ve probably spent hours building test messages by hand, copied production data you shouldn’t have, or found out an interface was down because a nurse called. Pidgeon replaces all of that.

​
Five products, one engine

Post

Testing and validation. Generate HL7 v2.3–v2.8, FHIR R4, and NCPDP SCRIPT messages in seconds, validate against the published spec or real vendor patterns, and de-identify on-device.Free generation and validation, no account required. Pro adds the Workflow Wizard, Diff, AI Triage, and full datasets.

Conform

FHIR conformance. Prove a live FHIR endpoint satisfies the Implementation Guides a program requires, from CI, with a non-zero exit code and an evidence scorecard. The wedge is CMS-0057-F.Conformance evidence against named IG versions, never a compliance certification.

Flock

Synthetic population engine. Seed test databases with schema-aware, FK-safe patient populations. There’s no PHI to review, so compliance signs off in minutes.Output as SQL, CSV, HL7 streams, or FHIR Bundles.

Loft

Interface observability. Loft watches your configured sources, flags suspect interface messages for human review, and alerts your team. Every catch lands in a review queue with a suggested fix.Built for teams running Mirth, Rhapsody, and similar engines.

Migrate

FHIR Bulk Data migration. Move healthcare data between systems via FHIR R4 Bulk Data Access (NDJSON per the HL7 IG), with preflight checks, de-identification, reconciliation, and resume.Built for migration projects, not synthetic test data.
The five products are desktop apps, opened directly or through Pidgeon, the launcher that shows every product’s install and entitlement status in one grid. See Get started with Pidgeon (the launcher).
Conform is Pidgeon’s newest product. Its conformance capability ships today in the CLI (pidgeon conform) and the Conformance panel in Post. The standalone Conform desktop app is in beta and not yet available to download.

​
How the products connect

The products share one engine, so you configure it once and use it everywhere:
Flock models it. Post exercises it. Conform proves it. Migrate moves it. Loft protects it.
  • Shared parsing and validation. The same HL7/FHIR/NCPDP parsers power Post’s validation, Conform’s profile checks, Flock’s output, Loft’s message analysis, and Migrate’s conversion.
  • Shared de-identification. On-device PHI removal, available across every product.
  • Shared vendor profiles. Learn your vendor’s patterns once, apply them across generation, validation, and monitoring.
Each product has its own buyer and budget. This is a shared engine with a retention story, not a pipeline one customer walks end to end.

​
Who is Pidgeon for?

Integration Engineers

Stop hand-crafting test messages. Generate realistic data on demand, validate against your vendor’s actual patterns, and go into go-lives prepared.

Consultants

Carry your testing toolkit from client to client. Vendor profiles are portable across engagements, so you’re not starting from scratch at every new site.

IT Directors & Compliance

Keep PHI out of test environments without a four-month approval process. Watch interface health from one place instead of waiting for incident reports.

QA & Testing Teams

Seed test databases that look like production in minutes. New developers are productive on day one instead of spending their first week building test data.

​
Free CLI, desktop apps for everyone else

  • CLI. Always free. Install the Pidgeon.CLI tool with dotnet tool install --global Pidgeon.CLI --version 0.1.0-beta.2. The free CLI carries the core commands (generate, validate, de-identify, and more); the product-specific commands ship with their desktop apps.
  • Desktop apps. Post, Flock, Loft, and Migrate for the majority who’d rather point and click. Post’s core loop (generate, validate, run a conformance check) works with no account; Post Pro starts at $29/mo, and Flock, Loft, and Migrate require a Pidgeon account sign-in.

CLI Quickstart

First message in under a minute.

Desktop Quickstart

Install Pidgeon and generate, validate, and prove a message from the Post app.
