Data Types
Functionality
Both parts of the API are functionally the same. This means that much of the documentation that you find here will apply to both, including:
- User Authentication with Human Connect
- Data API Retrieval Patterns
- Keeping data in sync with Notifications
Additionally, all data from Human API is encrypted both while in transit and at rest. See the Security for more information.
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.
