Validic Adds High-Frequency Data Support, Delivering Minute-to-Minute Readings From Wearables, Home Health Devices

– Validic has added support for high-frequency data, enabling organizations to receive standardized activity, heart rate, and blood glucose data at a rate up to one reading per minute.

– The availability of these data for use in healthcare and wellness programs indicate an important shift toward more real-time, individualized interventions and coaching services.

Validic, a Durham, NC-based provider of solutions for personal health data, today at HLTH 2019 announced the support of high-frequency data, enabling organizations to receive standardized activity, heart rate and blood glucose data at a rate of up to one reading per minute. The availability of these data for use in healthcare and wellness programs indicates an important shift toward more real-time, individualized interventions and coaching services.

High-Frequency Data Drives Behavioral Change

As research continues to demonstrate the value of being active throughout the day and raising one’s heart rate regularly, data that better-illustrates an individual’s lifestyle is paramount to driving healthier behaviors and personalized recommendations. With high-frequency data – also known as time-series or intraday data – organizations can use a person’s activities throughout the day to provide consistent, precise feedback that encourages behavior change. For instance, as part of a wellness program, high-frequency heart rate data can allow artificial intelligence or a coach to understand the level of effort throughout a workout and provide appropriate feedback.

How High-Frequency Data Enables More Individualized Coaching or Treatment Adjustments

Similarly, in diabetes management programs, high-frequency readings from continuous glucose meters can provide insight into an individual’s glucose values throughout the day, not just a few times they may complete a finger-stick reading before or after meals. This granular data enables more individualized coaching or treatment adjustments.

High-frequency activity and heart rate data can also be valuable for post-discharge monitoring. For instance, a clinician can view the duration and intensity of activity a patient performs after a surgery. With continuous access, an intervention can occur that day, educating the patient on the risks of strenuous exertion and preventing the person from repeating that action.

Validic High-Frequency Data Support from Apple, Fitbit, Garmin, Dexcom Devices

Validic offers connectivity to a variety of sources delivering high-frequency data, including steps, heart rate, distance, elevation and blood glucose data from Apple, Fitbit, Garmin and Dexcom devices. High-frequency data is available via Validic’s streaming and REST APIs. As more devices support the delivery of data at high-frequency intervals, Validic plans to expand its high-frequency data offerings.

“High-frequency data provides the detail needed to understand a person’s daily habits and behaviors,” said Drew Schiller, Validic CEO.” With this advancement, our partners and clients can provide more timely and relevant interventions to help people live healthier lives.”
