Vital || Fullstack Engineer || Fully remote || Full-time || tryvital.io

Vital is API for remote healthcare. We enable companies to get health data from medical devices and order lab tests. We're building the future of healthcare infrastructure, we have over 1.2 million devices now connected on our platform and have helped 10,000s of patients get tested using our infrastructure.

We’re looking for a full-stack engineer to join our team. We're at pivotal moment in the company where we've experienced significant growth over the last quarter and are looking to grow the team.

We're ideally looking for candidates between GMT-6 and GMT-2. Go, Python, Nextjs stack. Send an email directly to [email protected].

We've partnered with a number of labs in the U.S. and have a physicians network that covers all 50 states, that allows us to write doctors orders if your customers meet the pre-requisite requirements as agreed with our doctor. Once you're signed up, we'll have an onboarding call, where we discuss what your testing requirements are, typically it takes 3-6 weeks from inquiry to going live with your patients.
All our docs are available here https://docs.tryvital.io/ happy to help you onboard, the animation on the home page is just an example. We'll slow down the animation speed going forward.
Conjure is great!
Thanks! Would be great to chat to see if we can help you guys out with sleep data. Let's hope on call, could you send an email to [email protected] ?
Thanks for trying out the API. You're right our docs need some improvement here, we write these from the backend and generate them using our own custom swagger parser. We'll fix these asap! We've started adding provider specific docs like this here, https://docs.tryvital.io/wearables/providers/Guides/Freestyl... we'll be adding the rest as soon as possible.

This is why aggregating and standardising the data is hard, some API's are not public and in some cases we use credentials to generate access tokens which we then use to query the API, since we are aiding people in accessing their own data, we take a stance that people have a right to their own health data.

If the internal API does change there is some risk of breakage, we have built a tonne of monitoring around this to ensure that we stay up to date with this and react accordingly.

We work with a number labs throughout the US to provide our at-home testing API. We handle the supplies for the kits but the actual testing is carried out by our partner laboratories. We have a physician network that handles the requisition process for ordering, and have turned that into API that any developer can use.
Exactly this, we've already started connecting to medical devices such as glucometers and blood pressure monitors, with 2 lead, 6 lead and 12 lead ECG support coming soon. We have companies using us to monitor activity post op already, as we build out our device integrations, we'll be supporting more and more medical devices as we grow.
We are! Could you send an email to [email protected]
Evervault has been great! Thanks Shane.
Sure, the list of supported providers can be found here https://docs.tryvital.io/wearables/providers/Introduction and the list of supported device models here https://docs.tryvital.io/wearables/providers/Introduction#fu...

Launch HN: Vital (YC W20) – API for wearables and labs

https://tryvital.io/

Maitham here, we’re building an API for at-home health data (https://tryvital.io). We allow developers to easily connect to hundreds of wearable devices and deliver at-home lab tests to their users, with a few lines of code.Health data from wearables and labs sit in various data sources, each requiring a different integration. Most with bad documentation and some even needing a partnership....

This is only true if its zoned market in the sense that the country is self sufficient and relies on no foreign imports, which is rarely the case.
Re:Are Passenger Jet Engines Hitting Their Technical Limits? on Tuesday November 12, 2019 @11:04AM (#21515125)
The biggest issue for innovation in aircraft, is due to the sheer capital it requires to develop both jet engines and the aircraft, which results in companies developing these separately. For there to be more innovation in the space there needs to be closer alignment between aircraft manufacturers(Airbus, Boeing) and jet engine manufacturers (Rolls Royce, GE, P&W). There's talks of blended wing bodies etc, which would improve aerodynamic efficiency but I can't see anything like this happening given the way the industry is set up.

Ask HN: How do you find experts at work?

When organisations get large and distributed how do you find experts at work? Either people who can help you with a problem or give you some advice? I find it hard enough knowing what the person in the same 50 person office is working on and what he could help me with.
