Creating a Data Source
To create a new data source, you can go to the Data Sources tab under Manage Study, then create a data source from the following types:
Surveys/Forms - Learn about building surveys here: Building: Surveys
Devices - For physical devices
SMS/Other - For data sources that aren’t surveys or physical devices
Clarity -Cus Custom Data Source (via API)
Clinstream
PennchartX ADT feeds
CSV Uploads - Custom Data Source (Manual Upload)
Devices
For a list of our supported devices, look here: https://waytohealth.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BG/pages/2567110660/Supported+data+sources#%5BhardBreak%5DConnected-Devices
The first step to setting up a device integration is to select which device you are trying to collect data from:
Once a device has been selected, you will be presented with any additional pieces of information that may be required for Way to Health to interact with that device vendor. This is usually either a key provided by them for authentication or a username/password. Other devices may have custom configuration around what data they will ignore/process so that invalid data inputs do not cause issues.
All devices have a toggle
Data Collection Events
One method for collecting data and tracking adherence is to use a Data Collection event:
Once you have selected the event type, you can choose which of your devices you want to attach to the event
Data Collection
There are two ways in which we collect data from a device. A vendor can either push data to Way to Health when they have something to provide to us (Push), or Way to Health can routinely ask the vendor if there are any updates (Pull).
How do we fetch data?
Difference in timestamp vs received in w2h
How does data attach?
last, max, attach early
latency
Reasons for late data
didn’t sync watch to phone
didn’t sync phone to server
