Way to Health is getting a makeover!

Effective Monday, September 25th, Way to Health will have a brand new look and feel. Way to Health's "new skin" includes a modern, responsive and easy to use design. 

Check out the online tour!

Makeover Highlights

Modern look

"What's cookin', good lookin'?" Way to Health’s new look includes a sleek and modern design. It also features simplified navigation with fewer clicks and a consistent look across the platform. Take advantage of new elements such as the date and time pickers that provide a calendar view!

Responsive design

This approach to design allows pages to be viewed in response to your screen size. This means you get the best view of web content regardless of whether you are viewing Way to Health on a laptop, tablet or mobile phone. For example, on smaller screens, the main menu shifts behind a hamburger menu (that cute little box with three horizontal bars – simply click to expand the menu vertically). Mmm, now I'm hungry.

Menu navigation improvements

The main menu can be found horizontally across the top of the page. Simply hover over menu items with a carrot icon (that little downward arrows!) to see the full list of options. These sub menu items were previously available via the left hand navigation. Adding them to the main navigation makes moving around the platform easier and with fewer clicks.

New! Search bar

Use the search bar in the upper right corner of the screen to find a participant by identification number or search the User Guide for helpful how-to guides, tools and other help resources.

Default study

Upon initial login, you will no longer have to pick your study. The platform will automatically log you in to the first study (alphabetically) that you have access to. To update your default study, go to your profile and set it under User Preferences.

Participant record enhancements

The participant record now displays it's sub menu items (Edit Participant, Enrollment, Events, etc.) as tabs. Actions such as creating an incident, or sending a notification are just a click away as buttons at the top of the screen.

Filters have moved

On a standard computer monitor, all filters will display on the left side of the screen, allowing you to easily view record lists such as participants, events, and transactions, without needing to scroll past filters.

Highlights

• Did someone say DIY targets? Configure participant goals based on baseline data without custom development work!
• Just like that milk in your fridge, your survey links now have an expiration date
• New profile variable that allows for greater customization in messaging 
• Get more data points from Nokia (a.k.a. Withings) activity trackers

Platform-wide Updates

DIY Targets: Configure participant goals based on baseline data

Now you can configure participant goals at the arm level based on their performance during the run-in period. For example, track a participant's steps for two weeks and configure Way to Health to calculate the average step count, then multiply by a specific amount to get the standard participant target.

To configure, navigate to Manage Study > Target Configurations.

For a full tutorial on how to set up this new feature, see Enrollment Run-In Target Generator.

Survey links with an expiration date

Now when you send out Qualtrics survey links through Way to Health, the survey will only be available to the participant during the set event window. This means that you will have full control over when participants can complete surveys. Need longer collection periods? Simply extend the length of your survey's event window. 

New profile variable: 'Additional Info' field 

Get more customized with your messaging to participants. Use the Additional Info field located on the participant's profile to store individualized information on the participant such a list of current medications, or the participant's physician. You can then populate the standard text field in any participant messaging.

New Nokia activity tracker data

In addition to tracking steps, you can now view the following participant data from all Nokia activity trackers:

• Distance (miles)
• Active calories burned in the day (kcal)
• Total Calories burned in the day (kcal)
• Duration of soft activity (minutes)
• Duration of moderate activity (minutes)
• Duration of intensive activity (minutes)
