Go to the Philips booth at the Hackathon. We will provide you with the required information to connect your app to the Connect to Healthy platform and access the data you require.
Your team will receive 4 accounts on our platform:
- One for each persona (see challenges and personas for details on each persona and the specific data available for each)
- You also get a special extra account so you can connect personal health devices like FitBit and Jawbone (see connecting devices for more details).
- Select the persona whose data you would like to use in your app. The sample code shows how to make the connection using REST and how to retrieve data using the FHIR API observations method.
- Observations are a central element in healthcare, and are used to support diagnosis, monitor progress, determine baselines and patterns and even capture demographic characteristics. Most observations are simple name/value pair assertions with some metadata, but others are grouped together logically, or can even be multi-component observations. See the chapter on data for more details.
