Integration

Enterprise integration for the intelligence layer.

Follicle Intelligence becomes valuable when evidence and governance events flow reliably between your systems and ours. This page outlines integration surfaces, practical implementation patterns, and typical partner models—so technical and procurement audiences can scope work without guessing.

Surfaces

What you integrate with.

Four capability areas cover most enterprise needs: request/response APIs, asynchronous signals, data exchange, and tenant-level configuration. Exact endpoints, payloads, and limits are documented under NDA and in onboarding—not on this marketing page.

REST APIs

Versioned endpoints for ingestion, scoring, and report retrieval. JSON request/response contracts; authenticated access (API keys or negotiated schemes); rate limits scaled to deployment tier. Suitable for synchronous workflows and batch jobs.

Events and webhooks

Completion and status callbacks so your orchestration layer stays aligned with FI case and job lifecycle—reducing polling and missed handoffs. Retry and idempotency expectations are documented per integration package.

Data exchange

Exports and mappings for interoperability: structured outputs for downstream analytics, document generation, or archival. Batch export patterns where large backfills or migrations are required.

Tenant configuration

Scoring weights, cohort rules, module enablement, templates, and branding boundaries—set per tenant so enterprise policy is enforced without maintaining a fork of the engine.

Implementation

Patterns that show up in real deployments.

These are not marketing differentiators—they are the questions engineering and security teams ask in week one. Addressing them early reduces rework and procurement churn.

Synchronous vs asynchronous scoring

Simple ingest-and-score paths may complete in a single request; heavier pipelines return job identifiers and complete via webhook or polling—your integration should assume both, depending on case size and model path.

Idempotency and source keys

Producers should send stable source identifiers (case, event, upload) so replays and retries do not duplicate work. FI’s event facade is designed for idempotent processing where configured.

Tenant and environment separation

Non-production sandboxes are used for contract and UAT; production credentials and data boundaries are isolated. Exact topology (region, dedicated resources) is agreed in enterprise agreements.

Upstream system of record

FI does not replace your EHR, PACS, or HairAudit operational database—it consumes evidence and emits intelligence. Integration design should keep clinical source of truth upstream unless contractually agreed otherwise.

Partner and deployment models

Likely shapes of the integration—not one-size-fits-all.

Your org chart and product surface determine the right model. FI stays the same substrate; boundaries and support roles change.

Native HairAudit / FI-connected workflows

Events and APIs align with HairAudit and ecosystem producers (e.g. HLI-related intake). Best when your organization already participates in the FI event model and wants minimal custom middleware.

Platform or EHR-embedded

Your application calls FI APIs from your backend; user identity and authorization are your responsibility; FI enforces tenant-scoped access. Common for telehealth, vertical SaaS, and LIMS-backed workflows.

Partner OEM / white-label

FI runs as embedded infrastructure behind your UI; commercial packaging and first-line support are typically partner-led with FI engineering for integration and escalation paths defined in agreement.

Cross-boundary flows: HairAudit, HLI, and IIOHR-connected systems each emit signal at different edges. APIs and events should preserve tenant and source identifiers so the same FI core can aggregate without collapsing governance boundaries—see platform for architecture context.

Procurement

Enterprise technical review.

Security questionnaires, architecture reviews, and contractual data-processing terms are handled through your procurement channel. We provide documentation appropriate to the deployment model—not generic one-pagers that overclaim.

Security posture Licensing models Technical scoping call

Deployment-specific integration guides and endpoint catalogs are issued after commercial alignment. Contact with your integration context (systems, regions, volume expectations).

Follicle Intelligence™ connects HairAudit (surgical evidence and audit surface), Hair Longevity Institute (biology and longitudinal treatment intelligence), and IIOHR (methodology, training, standards, and governance alignment).
