- Disconnect any other host
- Check battery and permission
Use the BioLink Band option in the device selector. - STEP 2
Review group connection and measurement status
In Live overview, review Measuring or Disconnected status, battery, heart rate, and activity, then prioritize participants requiring attention.
- Compare total users and measuring users
- Prioritize low battery and disconnections
- Search by participant code
Review group status as tiles or a table. - STEP 3
Review participant details and period trends
Open a participant to review the BioLink session, supported biomarkers, activity metrics, and changes over time.
- Confirm participant and device
- Check measurement time and session count
- Review units and valid data for each metric
Available metrics may vary by device and measurement conditions. - STEP 4
Review group location when required
Use Group device locations for participants with location data enabled. Availability depends on permission and GPS reception.
- Confirm purpose and consent for location use
- Check mobile permission and GPS
- Check the last location time
Use location according to the study purpose and privacy requirements.

Frequently asked questions
Are BioLink and Newert Health the same product?
They serve different roles. BioLink covers the supported device and connection layer; Newert Health is the app and web interface for measurement status and supported metrics.
Can I view the group dashboard with BioLink alone?
In the currently confirmed website scope, BioLink measurements are connected to Newert Health for group and participant monitoring. Confirm account and offering scope before deployment.
Can I always see every participant's location?
No. Location requires permission, GPS and network availability, consent, and appropriate operating settings. It can remain unused when it is not required.
Does BioLink provide every metric shown?
Available fields may vary by BioLink model, sensor, app version, and measurement conditions. Define the required metrics and confirm support before deployment.
