In today’s healthcare needs, integrating useful remote patient monitoring (RPM) tools into your healthcare ecosystem or clinical workflow shouldn't take months. That’s why vitalera created a powerful yet easy-to-use API and SDK suite that lets you build, test, and launch robust monitoring experiences in just a few hours—not weeks.

This developer-focused guide is your fast track to integrating Vitalera into your product, platform, or trial environment.

🔍 What is the Vitalera API & SDK?

The Vitalera API unlocks access to a full-featured RPM infrastructure built for real-time care, including:

• 🩺 Continuous biometric data streaming
• 🧑‍⚕️ Device and patient management
• 🗂️ Clinical observations and alerts
• 🔁 Credential rotation and secure data handling

Paired with our cross-platform SDKs (iOS, Android, and Web), you can plug-and-play Vitalera features directly into your app with minimal effort and maximum scalability.

✨ Core SDK Features

Here’s what developers love most:

• 📸 AI-Powered Image Scan
  Patients simply scan medical devices, connected devices among others. The SDK uses AI to extract structured data instantly—zero manual input required.
• 🩺 Real-Time Device Streaming
  With native support for 200+ medical devices, stream data like heart rate, glucose, SpO2, blood pressure, and temperature in real-time.
• 🚨 Smart Clinical Alerts
  Trigger real-time alerts based on your own medical rules or thresholds. Perfect for chronic care, post-op recovery, and decentralized trials.
• 🔐 Security & Compliance
  All endpoints are HIPAA- and GDPR-compliant. Vitalera uses encrypted channels, token-based auth, and best-in-class data protection by design.

🛠 Step-by-Step: How to Use the Vitalera API & SDK

Let’s walk through how to get started, with real examples from our live documentation.

Step 1: Create Your Developer Account

To begin:

1. Go to 👉 https://docs.vitalera.io/
2. Request credentials by emailing 📩 info@vitalera.io

Once approved, you’ll receive:

• ✅ An API Key
• 📚 Full documentation
• 🧪 Sandbox test data for simulated patients and devices

Step 2: Install the SDK

Vitalera SDKs are modular and available on all major platforms:‍


Each SDK includes pre-built components for:

• Device pairing
• Biometric streaming
• Image scan capture
• Patient record management

Step 3: Authenticate Using the API

Vitalera uses Bearer token authentication. You can rotate your client credentials via the /rotate_credentials/ endpoint.

See here the example.


Step 4: Connect a Medical Device

Once authenticated, your app can connect any supported device.

Web SDK Example:

javascript

CopyEdit

vitalera.connectDevice("omron-bp7450").then(() => {
 console.log("Device connected and streaming");});


Supported categories:

• Blood pressure monitors
• Glucose meters
• Pulse oximeters
• Thermometers
• Smart scales
• Many more

Vitalera handles pairing, transmission, and data security automatically.

Step 5: Enable Image Scan (AI-Powered)

Transform patient-uploaded images into data. Our AI extracts information from:

• All Medical Device Scan; glucometer, puslioximeter, scale, blood pressure, temperature...
• Other results

Example (Web):

javascript

CopyEdit

const file = document.querySelector("#medicationPhoto").files[0];
vitalera.scanImage(file).then(parsedData => {
 console.log(parsedData);});


Output might include: json

💡 Ideal for patient-reported data, chronic care support, and trial compliance.

Step 6: Add Smart Alerts

Monitor conditions with rule-based alerts to notify care teams or trigger interventions.

JSON Example:

json

CopyEdit

{"alert": {
   "parameter": "blood_pressure",
   "threshold": "140/90",
   "type": "above",
   "action": "notify_provider" }}


Use alerts in:

• Cardiac monitoring
• Diabetes programs
• Post-discharge follow-ups
• Oncology plans
• Nefrology plans
• Elderly care plans
• And many others

Step 7: Visualize Patient Data

Once data streams in, it’s accessible via API or rendered via SDK UI components.

Sample Data Payload:

json

CopyEdit

{"heart_rate": 72,
 "glucose": 105,
 "temperature": 36.9,
 "spo2": 98 }


This enables real-time dashboards, personalized feedback, or clinician review.
