New Abbott LibreView integration (May 24)

Vital has introduced an new Abbott LibreView provider (abbott_libreview). It uses password authentication, accepting LibreView patient account credentials.

This is an alternative option to our practice-based Freestyle Libre provider (freestyle_libre).

With abbott_libreview, Vital uses the provided LibreView patient account credentials to connect directly to LibreView. There is no involvement of a LibreView practice in this integration.

Note that both practice-based and patient-based connections would continue to be supported in parallel. The abbott_libreview integration does not replace the freestyle_libre integration.

Check out the Abbott LibreView / Freestyle Libre guide for more information.

​
Removed Fitbit and Oura required scopes (May 24)

The Fitbit profile scope and Oura email scope are no longer required for establishing connections.

For Fitbit specifically, please be aware of the updated Fitbit Time Zone resolution precedences. When your user refuses to grant both the activity and the profile scope, Fitbit data are more likely be timestamped incorrectly in UTC time basis due to inaccurate or unavailable time zone information.

We have now updated our Fitbit and Oura integrations not to depend on these scopes to be minimally functional.

If you are interested in requiring your users to grant certain scopes when connecting an OAuth provider, check out the Team Scope Requirements changelog entry and the Set Team Scope Requirements endpoint for more information.
