Challenge
Each device type needs different mapping
Agnotic approach
A shared ingest layer with per-device-type FHIR mapping so adding a vital is incremental.
iHealth
iHealth Integration Services
We connect RPM platforms to iHealth's connected devices — blood pressure, glucose, pulse oximetry, weight, and more — mapping each reading into a clean, consented clinical record. Real multi-vital device integration, not a demo.

What iHealth integration involves
iHealth builds a family of connected home-health devices — blood-pressure monitors, glucometers, pulse oximeters (SpO2), scales, and thermometers — that sync readings to iHealth's cloud, reachable through the iHealth API or via a device-data aggregator. Each device type carries its own payload, units, and quality flags, and access is gated behind an OAuth-style patient connection and consent step. RPM programs favor iHealth because one vendor spans several vitals.
Because iHealth spans multiple vitals, the integration is really several PGHD pipelines under one connection: SpO2, BP, glucose, and weight each need correct FHIR mapping, unit normalization, and threshold logic. We build a shared ingest layer with per-device-type mapping so a single iHealth connection populates a coherent, correctly typed, consented clinical record.

Common failure modes
iHealth integration pitfalls — and how we handle them
Challenge
Units differ across vitals
Agnotic approach
Canonical units per vital with correct UCUM codes on every Observation.
Challenge
SpO2 artifact readings mislead alerts
Agnotic approach
Quality-flag-aware filtering so poor-perfusion readings don't trigger false alarms.
Challenge
Consent spans multiple devices
Agnotic approach
A single connection consent model covering all authorized iHealth devices with revocation handling.
iHealth APIs & Standards We Work With
We build against the iHealth API surface across every device type it spans.
iHealth API access
OAuth-based access to BP, glucose, SpO2, weight, and temperature data — directly or through an aggregator.
Multi-vital coverage
One vendor connection spanning several device types, each mapped to its correct clinical schema.
Consent & connection lifecycle
Patient-authorized device linking, connection status, and revocation handling with audit trails.
PGHD → FHIR Observation
Per-device-type mapping to FHIR R4 Observation with LOINC codes and correct UCUM units.
Threshold & trend logic
Per-vital thresholds, trend detection, and RPM alerting on clean, de-duplicated data.

Our Process
How we deliver iHealth integration
A phased approach treating each device type as a mapping under one shared ingest layer.
1.
Discovery & Scope
We inventory the iHealth device types you need and design the shared ingest and consent model.
Consent-first design
2.
Sandbox & App Registration
iHealth developer credentials and validation against test data per device type.
Sandbox-validated
3.
Build & Test
Shared ingest, per-vital FHIR mapping, unit normalization, and threshold logic.
Multi-vital ready
4.
Go-Live & Monitoring
Production go-live with per-device sync dashboards and connection-status alerts.
Always monitored
Access surface
iHealth access paths — method & fit
iHealth data can be reached directly or via an aggregator.
| Path | Method | Typical use | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| iHealth API (direct) | OAuth cloud API | iHealth-centric RPM | Full device coverage; requires developer credentials. |
| Aggregator | Unified device API | Multi-vendor RPM | iHealth plus other vendors through one integration. |
| Direct BLE | GATT health profiles | Own-hardware apps | Higher effort; standard health services exist. |
iHealth-centric programs use the direct API; multi-vendor RPM often reaches iHealth via an aggregator.

Frequently Asked Questions
A multi-vital iHealth integration — shared ingest, per-device FHIR mapping, and thresholds — typically runs 5–8 weeks. A single device type is faster; each additional vital is incremental once the shared ingest layer exists.
