Send data from medicine dispenser or other device

Send data from medicine dispenser or other device. Example sends the most common datapoint types which are used with medicine dispenser.

Example applies also for other device types - only sended measurement is different. For example medicine dispenser sends medicine_taken and medicine_not_taken measurements - heart rate sends heart_rate, a scale sends weight and possibly bmi and so on.

Things to consider

  1. Api key - Every Gillie’s organization has it’s own api keys. You have to have some kind of mechamisn to assign/configure api keys in your portal.
  2. Customer identification - does your portal/device has customer’s person id available? If it sends data with some device id or is an oauth device, then the device has to be paired in Gillie’s side. Please contact us for that case.
  3. Do you need to prevent resends. Check transaction_id in datapoint API.
  4. device_type field - use your brand name (lower case, no blanks) for that. This automatically creates a device for this type for the customer, and shows the measurements send from your device.

Sample


const GillieApi = require('gillie-api').GillieApi;
const api = new GillieApi(
    {publicKey: "...public key here...", 
     privateKey: "...private key here..."
  });
