Empatica

Empatica Inc. is an MIT Media Lab spinoff, founded in Cambridge, Massachusetts, that builds FDA-cleared medical wearables — EmbracePlus, EmbraceMini and the EpiMonitor epilepsy monitoring system — together with the Empatica Health Monitoring Platform, a cloud platform for continuous, remote physiological data collection in clinical research and patient monitoring. The platform captures raw sensor streams (PPG/blood volume pulse, electrodermal activity, skin temperature, accelerometer, gyroscope, steps, systolic peaks, participant tags) and derives 300+ digital measures used as digital endpoints by pharmaceutical sponsors and CROs. Programmatic access is delivered three ways: a cloud-to-cloud Cloud API that pushes participant management, wearing compliance and digital biomarker data into a sponsor's CTMS/EDC; an AWS S3 data bucket addressed with Care Portal-issued Data Access Keys, where high-frequency raw data lands every 30 minutes as Apache Avro files; and a live REST host at api.empatica.com backing Empatica's own apps and portals. The Cloud API reference is issued only to contracted clients, so no OpenAPI, AsyncAPI or public API reference is published.

agent aware

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Empatica the way a machine reads it — 9 machine-readable artifacts across 3 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Empatica scores 36.9/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 16/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Empatica

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Empatica. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 3

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Empatica Cloud API

Cloud-to-cloud API that connects Empatica Health Monitoring Platform data to a sponsor's or CRO's own clinical trial systems in real time. Documented capabilities: participant o...

Empatica Platform API (api.empatica.com)

Live REST host observed at https://api.empatica.com/v2/ that backs Empatica's mobile apps and web portals. Probed anonymously on 2026-08-12: POST /v2/login answers a JSON error ...

Empatica Cloud Data Access (S3)

The primary programmatic data interface for the Empatica Health Monitoring Platform. High-frequency raw data from EmbracePlus is uploaded to the Empatica Cloud every 30 minutes ...

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

Security Posture 4

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Empatica, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
