Adding a New Device
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.
About Device Authorization
Some devices are authorized by the participant during enrollment (e.g. Fitbit and Withings) while others are authorized at the study level (e.g. Adheretech). For devices that are authorized by the participant during enrollment, you will want to add a Device Authorization Enrollment Step to the study configuration.
About Data Collection
When it comes to physical devices, some of them are polled every hour for new data, while others are configured to have new data pushed to Way to Health. You can read more about these differences here [tbd].
Advanced Settings
There are advanced settings within each device that can impact how data is processed for the device on a more detailed level. Most devices have default values for these settings but there may be situations where you want to change them.
Collect Time Series Data enables intraday data collect for devices that support it.
