Show HN: Metriport - Open-source universal API for health data
Hey HN, we're Colin and Dima, founders of Metriport
(https://metriport.com/). We help digital health companies access
and manage user health and medical data, through an open-source and
universal API. Today we're launching our open-source Health Devices
API, which allows companies to gain access to their users' health
data from various wearables, RPM devices, and mHealth apps. You can
check out the public Github repo here:
https://github.com/metriport/metriport For developers in the
health data space, building integrations to various data sources is
a huge pain, as it means wrangling different data formats, gaining
access to the APIs in the first place, and ultimately spending
precious developer resources building out data pipelines. We solve
this pain for you through our open-source API, which is quick and
easy to get started with (see: https://docs.metriport.com/getting-
started/connect-quickstar...). Out of the box, our Health Devices
API supports integrations with Fitbit, Oura, Whoop, Withings, and
Cronometer. We plan to add many more, including Garmin, Apple
Health, and Google Fit in the near term. We work closely with our
customers, so if there's an integration you need, we're more than
happy to build it into our API. Because we're open-source, you can
also fork our code and build your own custom integrations. Getting
started is simple. To start getting data from your users: 1)
Create a developer account and generate an API key:
https://dash.metriport.com/ 2) Set up our client on your server
and initialize it with your API key:
https://docs.metriport.com/getting-started/connect-quickstar... 3)
Link the Metriport Connect widget into your app. This pre-built
widget makes it easy for your users to connect all their data
sources into your application. Now you're ready to start accessing
your users' health data from their sources they've connected. We
also offer a hosted SaaS solution with usage-based pricing, with no
minimum platform fees. We believe this will open doors to a wide
range of early stage companies and help drive innovation in the
digital health industry. While we're excited to be launching this
product today and be the first open-source Health Devices API of
its kind, we're also really looking forward to sharing our Medical
API with you in the coming months. You can find out more about that
here: https://metriport.com/medical We can't wait to see how this
API is used and what it helps companies develop. Please don't
hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, and happy
developing!
