What are the compatible smartphones? Is it possible to connect more than one EmbracePlus to one companion device?
You can find the list of smartphones compatible with our system on our EmbracePlus Smartphone Compatibility Page . If your Android device is not listed, you can start a connectivity self-test with the Nordic App® to check if the following requirements are met:
- OS as specified on EmbracePlus Smartphone Compatibility Page
- Bluetooth® 5.0 with 2M PHY
How many studies, sites and participant login credentials can I create?
Our Academic & Basic Research plan includes one Care Portal account with a unique professional email address. This allows the creation of 1 Study, 1 Site and unlimited participant login credentials.
How will I access the data collected?
All collected data can be securely and directly downloaded from the Care Portal.
Can I stream real-time data?
EmbracePlus continuously collects data and allows you to view it inside the Care Portal. However, this data is not viewable in real-time. This means you cannot stream data live, but you can still view historical, timestamped data.
Do you provide an SDK?
We do not provide an SDK for academic research purposes.
