The ROOK Connect Medical Device API delivers glucose, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, temperature and ECG readings in one format, with the device that recorded each one.
How it works
A blood pressure reading of 140/90 doesn't mean the same thing if it came from an upper-arm cuff or a wrist watch. With the Medical Device API, every reading arrives with its source, so teams know exactly what data they are working with.
Users take their readings with supported devices connected through ROOK Connect.
ROOK adds information about the capturing device to every reading.
Readings reach the backend via webhook, with the value and its source in a single record.
What's measured and where it comes from
Glucose, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, temperature, and ECG arrive from supported sources with the manufacturer, model, device type, and source type attached.

Every supported event includes the manufacturer, model, device type, and source type the data came from.

Device details travel inside each event, in one structure for every device, on the ROOK Connect integration you already run.
The value and the device that took it travel together, with no need to cross-reference other data.
Blood pressure monitors, glucose sensors, and watches arrive in the same structure.
Teams decide how to use each reading based on the type of device that recorded it.
Device details are added to the events ROOK Connect already delivers, with the same endpoints and the same webhook.
Use cases
Diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular, and respiratory programs use the device behind each reading to give context to their follow-up workflows.
01Continuous glucose readings with the sensor identified, ready for metabolic follow-up programs.
02Readings from connected blood pressure monitors, with brand and model, for remote monitoring programs.
03ECG recordings from supported devices, with their source documented.
04SpO₂ and body temperature readings integrated into the same health data stream.
Medical Device API
The Medical Device API adds the source of every measurement to ROOK Connect data, so each program works with complete information.

Which devices connect, how users authorize them, and what ROOK is and is not.
The Medical Device API is ROOK’s capability for integrating measurements from compatible devices and sources, including glucose, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, temperature, or ECG when those data are available. Coverage depends on the device, intermediary platform, and user permissions.
Current coverage includes compatible measurements received from sources such as Apple Health, Health Connect, Samsung Health, Withings, and Dexcom. The ROOK team can confirm the required device, model, metric, and integration path for each case.
Browse the source directoryThe primary difference is the origin and type of measurement. A wearable commonly generates ongoing activity, sleep, or wellness data, while a medical device may generate specific measurements and device metadata. A source appearing in ROOK does not mean every device or measurement from that source has a medical classification.
When the Device Metadata add-on is enabled and the source is compatible, ROOK can include the manufacturer, model, device type, and other available metadata.
No. ROOK is software infrastructure for connecting, processing, and delivering data; it is not presented as an FDA-authorized medical device. The regulatory classification of the final solution and the use of the data are the customer’s responsibility.
The flow depends on the source. A user may authorize an account through the provider’s process or grant permissions in Apple Health or Health Connect. ROOK only receives measurements that the source makes available and the user authorizes.

ROOK structures and delivers available readings from supported devices. It is not a medical device, and clinical interpretation and care decisions remain with qualified healthcare professionals.
