HumanAPI

Human API operates a consumer-controlled health data platform that connects, normalizes and structures health information drawn from hospital patient portals, health information exchanges, national data networks, clinics, pharmacies, labs, wearable devices and fitness apps, and delivers it through a secure, HIPAA-compliant RESTful API. Core components include a provider network of data sources, "Connect" for authenticating end users' health data, a unified normalized Data API, and a web portal where customer organizations invite people to share data and view connection status, a timeline of data sources and downloadable records. Developer documentation covers orders, subscriptions and health data access for applications.

The company's life insurance business is now offered as LexisNexis® Health Intelligence, formerly Human API Health Intelligence, positioned as an end-to-end electronic health record solution for life insurance carriers and underwriters. The platform sources records through both HIPAA-authorized and consumer-mediated consent paths, scans data before closing an order to check it meets a carrier's requirements, and automatically fulfils attending physician statement (APS) requests through affiliate Human API, Inc. when an EHR is unavailable. Outputs are designed for underwriter adoption: Medical Insights extracts targeted health attributes such as vitals, labs and material impairments aligned to life underwriting guidelines; a Clinical History Report presented in reverse-chronological order with date filtering and stated to be up to 30% shorter than a traditional EHR; and a Highlights Summary covering age, build, social history, key conditions and recent lab results. Medical data is combined with identity resolution and behavioral data assets for broader risk assessment.

At an earlier stage the company described itself as a consumer health data platform whose mission was to make health data liquid and put consumers in control, serving life insurance agencies, medical research institutions and digital health startups.

Founding story

The company was started around the questions of why people cannot easily access their own health data and why innovators struggle to aggregate health data to build new technologies, leading to a stated mission of making health data liquid and putting consumers in control. Andrei Pop is identified as founder and CEO and Ola Wiberg as co-founder and VP of Engineering. [4][6][7]

Business model

Business-to-business sale of health data access and analytics: enterprises and developers integrate the API, Connect authentication flow and portal, or purchase EHR-based underwriting outputs, while consumers use the platform without charge to connect and share their own records. The life insurance offering is sold as an end-to-end solution to carriers, with APS fulfilment provided via affiliate Human API, Inc. [0][2][4][6]

Traction

The website reports platform connectivity to over 30,000 U.S. data sources covering more than 270 million lives, and cites internal LexisNexis Risk Solutions study results including carriers deciding on an EHR up to 79% of the time without ordering additional evidence, a nine-day cycle-time reduction and up to 10% higher placement rates for a top 10 global life insurance carrier. Earlier reporting cited more than 7,500 developers using the API. [0][2][7]

Latest developments

The current site markets LexisNexis® Health Intelligence, formerly Human API Health Intelligence, for life insurance underwriting, citing 2024 LexisNexis Risk Solutions internal study results and directing healthcare and life sciences visitors to LexisNexis Human API. Developer documentation for the Health Intelligence Platform and Human API remains published and was updated within the past several months. [0][2][3][5]
