Data Flow and Access 
Sensor raw data 
Description: Raw data is the high-frequency data collected via the EmbracePlus 
sensors. 
Flow: Sensor Raw Data is recorded from EmbracePlus' sensors and when available, 
transmitted via Bluetooth® using a proprietary protocol to the paired phone. The 
phone aggregates circa 15 minutes of raw data and uploads them securely to the 
Empatica Cloud. In the Empatica Cloud data is compartmentalized and accessible 
according to the Study/Site/Date of acquisition 
(i.e. /ORGANIZATION/STUDY/SITE/YEAR/MONTH/DAY/USER/DEVICE/timestamp.avro). 
Data type: When accessing Empatica Cloud, the sensor raw data will be 
downloadable/accessible/synchronizable as 15-minute Avro files 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Avro) identified by a chronological timestamp. 
The Avro schema contains the types of data EmbracePlus is collecting (see below for 
the complete list). 
Data access: The sensor raw data are stored in the Empatica Cloud and can be 
accessed either via APIs or via data bucket access. When requesting data via APIs, 
Empatica’s Cloud will return one-time secure pre-signed URLs with a list of Avro files 
that correspond to the timeframe requested. When accessing directly the bucket 
associated with the specific organization (Empatica needs to set up this process in 
advance), sensor raw data can be downloaded in any amount (FTP-style download). 
Data usage: Avro files can be used through the provided tools 
(https://avro.apache.org/docs/current/).
