Particle Health

Particle Health is a healthcare data interoperability platform that aggregates patient medical records from across the US healthcare system into a single RESTful API. Particle is connected to all three nationwide health information exchange networks (Carequality, CommonWell, eHealth Exchange), TEFCA / QHIN partners, state HIEs (Healthix in New York, Manifest MedEx in California), and Surescripts for pharmacy data. The platform exposes patient demographics, clinical resources, and document retrieval via FHIR R4, C-CDA, Flat, and Deltas formats, layered with deduplication, normalization, AI summarization (Particle Snapshot), real-time encounter and transition alerts (Particle Signal), and longitudinal patient journey tracking (Particle Navigator). Customer segments include value-based care organizations, payers, health systems, primary and specialty providers, and digital health developers.

agent ready

Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Particle Health the way a machine reads it — 35 machine-readable artifacts across 17 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 — Particle Health scores 61.2/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (agent ready). 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 Particle Health

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Particle Health. 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 17

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.

Particle Health Authentication API

OAuth 2 client-credentials JWT issuance.

Particle Health Batches API

Batch query orchestration over patient cohorts.

Particle Health CCDA API

C-CDA clinical document retrieval.

Particle Health Deltas API

Incremental change retrieval since a previous query.

Particle Health Documents API

Document upload, retrieval, and deletion.

Particle Health FHIR API

FHIR R4 resource search and read.

Particle Health Files API

Query result file download.

Particle Health Flat API

Flat (normalized columnar) clinical data domains.

Particle Health HL7v2 API

HL7v2 ADT messages.

Particle Health NetworkParticipants API

Directory search over connected network organizations.

Particle Health Notifications API

Project-level webhook notification configuration.

Particle Health Patients API

Patient demographic registration and lookup.

Particle Health Projects API

Project and service-account management.

Particle Health ProviderMap API

Patient provider mapping across the network.

Particle Health Queries API

One-time network query orchestration.

Particle Health Signal API

Real-time encounter, transition, and ADT alerts.

Particle Health Subscriptions API

Open Collections 1

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

Arazzo Workflows 5

Real integrations are rarely a single call. Arazzo describes the multi-step sequences — auth, then create, then confirm — so both a human and an agent can follow the choreography, not just the endpoints.

Multi-step API workflows described with the Arazzo specification.

Particle Health ADT Event Subscription

Register a patient, subscribe to encounter (ADT) notifications, trigger a sandbox event, and retrieve the resulting HL7 v2 messages.

ARAZZO

Particle Health Clinical Document Exchange

Submit a clinical document to the network, then retrieve it and list all documents on file for the patient.

ARAZZO

Particle Health FHIR R4 Resource Query

Create a FHIR Patient, run a FHIR-native network query, poll for completion, then search and read individual US Core resources.

ARAZZO

Particle Health Network Provider Discovery

Register a patient, run a network query, then discover which providers and organizations hold records for that patient.

ARAZZO

Particle Health National Patient Record Retrieval

Authenticate, register a patient demographic, run a national query across the health information networks, poll until the query completes, then collect the aggregated clinical r...

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.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.

Semantic Vocabularies 1

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

Spectral Rules 1

Governance rulesets we run against this provider's specs — the automated checks behind parts of the score. Profiling them makes the quality bar explicit and re-runnable, not a matter of opinion.

JSON Schema 2

Standalone JSON Schema definitions describe the data models behind the API. We profile them so the shapes are validatable on their own — useful long after a single request is forgotten.

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.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
