Integration documents
The Able Platform exposes organization-scoped REST APIs and webhooks so partner systems can ingest clinically validated grip and gait measurement data in real time, in batches or on demand. The two documents below describe the end-to-end integration pattern and the webhook event contract in full.
Able Platform: Partner Integration
The reference guide for technical teams connecting a partner system to the Able Platform. Covers the domain model (Organizations, Facilities, Individuals, Providers, Operators, Measurements), multi-tenant data isolation, authentication with API tokens, supervised and unsupervised operation modes, individual-matching strategies (External Reference vs. Internal ID), and the real-time, webhook and batch synchronization approaches available.
Able Platform: Webhook Integration
The webhook specification for partner receivers. Describes the measurement.recorded and screening.recorded events, the payload schema for Screenings, Measurements and Values, transport and security requirements (HTTPS, TLS 1.2+, X-API-Key or Authorization headers), idempotence using the event id, the retry and exponential backoff policy, the backfill process for historical data and the staging environment for developer testing.

App updates and change management
The Able Platform uses calendar-based versioning (for example 2025-09-09). Each webhook payload carries a version field so partner systems can branch parsing logic when supporting multiple versions in parallel. Point releases (2025-09-09.1, 2025-09-09.2) indicate non-breaking updates on top of that baseline.
Non-breaking changes
New optional fields on existing objects, new event types, new enum values, stricter validation that remains backward compatible and documentation clarifications are released without a deprecation window. Registered technical contacts receive an email notification, and receivers that ignore unknown fields need take no action.
Breaking changes
Field removal or renaming, changes to field types or semantics, removal of supported event types and changes to delivery guarantees are communicated at least 30 days in advance via email and release notes. Partners are expected to migrate their receiver to the new schema version before the deprecation date; the version field in the payload lets receivers run old and new schemas side-by-side during migration.
Mobile and portal releases
Able Mobile App releases for iOS and Android follow the native app-store review process. Able Portal and Able Admin are updated continuously; non-breaking UI and workflow improvements ship without downtime, and any change affecting an operator's workflow is flagged in-app and summarized in the release email to registered operators.
To be added to the technical release-notes list, email support@able-care.co with the contacts you want notified.
