Data Types

Wellness

User Device Data

Functionality

Data Availability

The main difference between each type of data is where the data comes from. Wellness data often comes directly from wearable devices or apps maintained by the end-user as detailed on the Data Network , whereas Medical data comes directly from thousands of disparate healthcare providers and clinics.

As a result, there are some best practices and design considerations to be made for each as detailed on the Data Availability and Design page.
