Overview
Validic
Validic is a cloud-based technology platform that connects patient data from digital health apps, wearables and devices to healthcare companies like hospitals, providers, pharma, payers, and wellness companies.
The growing number of digital health devices and apps presents organizations with an opportunity to use data to improve their user's outcomes. Validic solves this challenge by providing a one-to-many connection to digital health technologies. Allowing validic to focus on providing data, allows organizations to focus on innovation!
How does it work?
Validic connects to hundreds of devices and applications and extracts user-generated data. Once the data is extracted,it will de-identify and convert data into a standard format and provide it to IPP in a JSON format. This ensures that IPP receive a predictable, HIPAA/Safe Harbor/PHI compliant data source, regardless of the connected application or device.
Validic Streaming API
The Validic Streaming API was selected as the preferred way of consuming data from Validic into Open Platform. This API provides access to data through a continuous stream(s) in near-realtime using Server Sent Events.
Validic has sandbox and production environments, but uses the same URI for both. Environments are differentiated by access token provided in the request. This access token is required to be present as request param in all requests to Validic API. Thus, for all development and testing environments we have to use sandbox environment with sandbox credentials.
