description: '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.'

  description: '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 onboarding from external systems using existing participant
    IDs, participant status management including early and full termination, wearing detection and compliance data, and access
    to raw and digital biomarker data delivered as CSV and Apache Avro. Announced September 2024. Empatica states that full
    developer documentation is provided to Cloud API clients only, so no public reference, base URL or machine-readable contract
    is published.'

  description: '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 envelope, GET /v2/users/me and /v2/devices require
    a bearer token, and the CORS preflight advertises the custom request headers x-emp-app-name, x-emp-app-version, x-emp-app-platform
    and elastic-apm-traceparent. Empatica publishes no public reference, OpenAPI or developer portal for this host — everything
    recorded here about it is probe evidence, not documentation.'

  description: '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 and made available in an organization-scoped AWS S3
    bucket (s3://bucket-name/version/dir-name/) as Apache Avro files named [participant_id]_[utc_timestamp_start].avro. Access
    is authorized with Data Access Keys — an AWS Access Key ID and Secret Access Key generated and revoked from the Data Access
    Keys page of the Care Portal, with a maximum of two active key sets per account. Any S3-capable client works: Cyberduck,
    AWS CLI v2, or the AWS SDKs.'
