The Noah ES API has been created so interested HIMSA member companies can integrate their applications directly to Noah ES accounts. If your company offers a Cloud-based product today or you are considering this direction, we hope that you will take a look at what the Noah ES API has to offer.
Q: If my Noah-compatible software uses the Noah 4 module API today, do I need to use the Noah ES API so that my customers can use my software with Noah ES?
A: No. Noah ES provides compatibility for Noah 4 modules via the Noah ES Client application. The Noah ES API can be used by applications, typically Cloud-based, to integrate directly to a specific Noah ES account controlled by a Hearing Care Business.

What HIMSA Provides
A Noah ES account that will be based in our QA environment. This environment is based in Europe. U.S.-based developers will experience a little slower response time but not such that will cause issues. The HIMSA U.S. office often tests within the QA environment effectively. Using a virtual machine arranged by you and hosted in Europe is also another option.

HIMSA will not provide any terms of service nor compliance agreements (GDPR DPA or HIPAA BAA). If you need a Production account in the US or EU please contact HIMSA.
