Integration Use Cases

vitalera provides a standards-based health data platform that serves use cases well beyond traditional clinical monitoring. Below are the most common integration scenarios our customers build, organized by industry.

Clinical & Healthcare​

Remote Patient Monitoring​

Enroll patients into monitoring programs with automated device pairing and care plan assignment. Collect vitals continuously from BLE medical devices and consumer wearables, apply threshold-based alarms, and route detected issues to the clinical team. Supports CPT billing codes for reimbursable RPM workflows.

Key capabilities:

See the RPM workflow guide

Chronic Disease Management​

Build long-running care programs for conditions like diabetes, COPD, or heart failure. Assign structured care plans with scheduled questionnaires, medication reminders, and periodic video consultations. Track patient adherence over time and surface trends through observation history.

Key capabilities:

See care plan management

Hospital at Home​

Monitor recently discharged patients to catch deterioration early and prevent readmissions. Combine continuous wearable data with daily symptom questionnaires and scheduled nurse check-ins. Compound alarm rules can generate early warning scores that escalate automatically.

Key capabilities:

Wellness & Corporate Health​

Corporate Wellness Programs​

Integrate employee wellness tracking into your HR platform. Employees connect Garmin or Fitbit wearables through OAuth consent flows, and their activity, sleep, and stress data flows into your system automatically. Aggregate anonymized metrics for program reporting while keeping individual data under each employee's consent control.

Key capabilities:

Health Coaching Platforms​

Power personalized coaching workflows with continuous wearable data and structured assessments. Coaches see their clients' health trends in one place, assign questionnaires to track progress, and receive alerts when engagement drops or metrics move outside expected ranges.

Key capabilities:

Sports & Fitness​

Sports Event Platforms​

Sync thousands of athletes through the Garmin Health API and collect race-day biometrics in real time. Post-event, query each participant's heart rate, pace, and physiological data for results pages, analytics dashboards, and leaderboards. The platform handles high-volume webhook ingestion without data loss.

Key capabilities:

  • Garmin Health API integration supporting 20k+ concurrent athlete connections
  • Real-time observation ingestion via webhooks during live events
  • Per-athlete longitudinal data for post-event analytics and participant reports
  • Bulk enrollment via API with automated consent management

Connected Training Apps​

Access raw workout data -- heart rate zones, cadence, pace, GPS, lap splits -- to build personalized training plans without sacrificing data granularity. The API preserves full-resolution sensor data from Garmin and BLE devices, so your training algorithms get the detail they need.

Key capabilities:

Insurance & Risk​

Wellness Incentive Programs​

Integrate continuous wearable data into insurance wellness programs that reward healthy behavior with premium discounts. Participants connect their devices through consent-managed OAuth flows, and engagement metrics (active days, step goals, sleep consistency) stream into your actuarial and rewards systems via webhooks.

Key capabilities:

Research & Life Sciences​

Clinical Trials & Research​

Collect structured, FHIR-standard health data for clinical studies. Deploy validated questionnaires (PHQ-9, EQ-5D, or study-specific instruments) on configurable schedules, collect continuous wearable data as digital biomarkers, and manage participant cohorts through the API. All data is timestamped and immutable for audit trail requirements.

Key capabilities:

  • FHIR R5-compliant data model for regulatory submissions and interoperability
  • Validated and custom questionnaires with automatic scoring
  • Longitudinal observation data from wearables as digital endpoints
  • Patient and organization management for multi-site cohort tracking

Real-World Evidence​

Capture continuous health data from consumer wearables at scale for real-world evidence studies. Unlike clinical-grade devices that require site visits, participants use their own Garmin or Fitbit devices at home. The platform normalizes heterogeneous device data into a consistent FHIR Observation format suitable for analysis pipelines.

Key capabilities:

  • Multi-device data normalization into a single FHIR schema
  • Participant self-enrollment with consent management
  • Continuous, passive data collection (heart rate, sleep, activity, SpO2, stress) without site visits
  • API-first design for integration with data warehouses and analysis tools

Build something different?​

These are the most common patterns, but the API is general-purpose. If your use case involves collecting health data from people and devices, vitalera likely fits. Contact info@vitalera.io to discuss your integration.
