ROOK's EHR/EMR API delivers each user's health data as FHIR R4, with LOINC codes and UCUM units, ready to integrate into clinical systems.
How it works
Wearable data reaches the clinical record in three steps
Clinical systems record what happens during a visit. ROOK adds what happens between visits: continuous activity, sleep, and vital sign data, delivered in the format those systems already understand.
Users connect their sources
Users connect their wearables and health apps through ROOK Connect.
ROOK translates to FHIR
With every new or updated summary, ROOK turns the available metrics into standardized clinical observations.
Your backend receives FHIR R4
The FHIR document reaches the backend through the same Data Webhook the integration already uses, ready to be sent to the clinical system.
Continuous data, in clinical language
Three health pillars, as FHIR observations
Every metric with an available LOINC code is delivered as an individual FHIR observation, ready to be read by any compatible system.
Body Health
Weight, height, BMI, blood pressure, resting heart rate, oxygen saturation, and caloric intake.
Physical Health
Steps, distance, average heart rate, VO₂max, and oxygen saturation.
Sleep Health
Sleep duration and stages, breathing rate, oxygen saturation, and time to fall asleep.
Benefits
Daily wearable data, in the standards clinics already use
FHIR R4, LOINC, and UCUM documents that update with every new summary, on the ROOK Connect integration and webhook you already run.
Data no EHR has
Activity, sleep, and vital signs measured every day, not just on the day of the visit.
Standards health systems already use
FHIR R4, LOINC, and UCUM, with no proprietary formats to translate.
No additional integration
It runs on top of the ROOK Connect integration and arrives through the same webhook.
Always up to date, no duplicates
The document updates with every new summary and only creates a new version when the clinical content changes.
Use cases
Programs that bring continuous data into clinical care
Digital health, remote monitoring, insurance, and research teams send wearable data to clinical systems in the format those systems read.
01Digital Health
Telehealth and care programs that bring patients' continuous data to clinical teams, in the format of their system.
02Remote monitoring
Follow-up between visits, with vital signs and sleep and activity habits ready to be added to the clinical record.
03Insurance
Health and wellness programs that share standardized data with clinical provider networks.
04Research & real-world data
Studies that need continuous wearable data in a standard, comparable clinical format.
Coming soon
Coming next: EHR and EMR data flowing into ROOK
Today the EHR/EMR API delivers wearable data to clinical systems. Soon, ROOK Connect will also bring data from EHR and EMR systems into ROOK, alongside each user's continuous data.
Clinical records into ROOK
Data from EHR and EMR systems, brought into ROOK Connect through the same integration.
One user, every source
Clinical records linked to the same user as their wearable and lab data.
Data in both directions
Wearable data flows out to clinical systems, and clinical data flows into ROOK.
EHR/EMR API
What happens between visits, in the clinical record.
The EHR/EMR API turns the data already flowing through ROOK Connect into standardized clinical information, ready for health systems.

Frequently asked questions about the EHR/EMR API
What the EHR/EMR API delivers today and what comes next.
What is the ROOK Connect EHR/EMR API?
The EHR/EMR API delivers the wearable data already flowing through ROOK Connect to clinical systems as FHIR R4, through the Clinical Ready capability. Bringing data from EHRs, EMRs, patient portals, and health networks into ROOK is coming soon.
In what format does the EHR/EMR API deliver data?
For wearable data sent to clinical systems, ROOK delivers a FHIR R4 Bundle through the Data Webhook for metrics that can be mapped. For records that will come from EHR and EMR systems, ROOK anticipates structured clinical information with FHIR R4 interoperability, and resources may vary by provider.
What clinical data will ROOK bring in from EHR and EMR systems?
Availability will depend on the source and authorized access. The intended scope includes information useful for longitudinal records, intake automation, care coordination, and personalized experiences.
Which EHRs, EMRs, or health networks will ROOK connect?
ROOK will publish supported EHR, EMR, and health-network sources when the capability launches. Teams that need a specific source can share it with the ROOK team today.
Talk to the ROOK teamHow will users authorize access to their medical records?
The flow will depend on the clinical provider and applicable requirements. In general, users will authenticate and authorize the relevant access. ROOK and the customer may only use data permitted by that flow and the applicable contractual relationship.
What factors can affect medical-record retrieval?
Medical-record retrieval can vary by provider, portal availability, user identity, permissions, historical coverage, and source quality. Customers should not assume that every record or provider will deliver the same resources.
