Mobile health is exciting and holds tremendous promise for improving care and lowering costs. However, with an estimated 40,000 new apps and devices coming to market each year, the pace of innovation represents a major challenge in healthcare IT.
Keeping tabs on the changes in mHealth is difficult enough. Choosing the best devices, making partnership relationships, and integrating disparate data sources is next to impossible.
Many new apps and devices feature built-in data interfaces, called APIs (application programming interfaces) that allow the app/devices software to communicate with other software. In theory, APIs are what interoperability standards like HL7 and Continua always strived to be — a standard method for extracting data.
The good news is that APIs help get data from one system to another. The bad news is that a significant amount of technical work is required to connect these data streams into healthcare IT platforms on a one-off basis. This makes it difficult, time-intensive and expensive for healthcare IT teams to keep up with the pace of innovation in mHealth.
Enter Validic, an API platform that maintains a single connection point to the universe of mHealth apps and devices. Now your IT team no longer needs to build dozens or hundreds of API integrations to get the best apps and devices into your care model. Simply connect to Validic one time to instantly get access to over 80 of the best mHealth APIs. Best of all, Validic adds new apps and devices each week and deploys them with no additional coding work.
